for Cryptologic Research

The Cryptography and Cybersecurity team of Télécom Paris (https://www.telecom-paris.fr/C2) is seeking excellent and motivated candidates who are interested in doing Master internships, PhD thesis, or Post-docs, in cryptography. We have several fundings for 6 months internship, 3-4 years PhD thesis, or 1-2 years Post-Doc, on topics related to Symmetric Cryptography. Candidates with an interest in conducting research in one of the following areas are particularly encouraged to apply:

• Design/analysis of symmetric cryptosystems
• Application of symmetric primitives in fully homomorphic encryption, zero-knowledge proof etc.

Requirements for internships:

• Master program in Math, CS, or relevant fields

Requirements for Ph.D. students:

• Master degree in Math, CS, or relevant fields
  
• Strong mathematics background
  
• Strong ability in at least one programming language
  
• Understanding basic cryptanalysis methods is a plus

Requirements for Post-Docs:

• Holding or finishing a Ph.D. degree in cryptography, IT security, or a related field
• Preference will be given to candidates with a strong publication record at IACR conferences or top security conferences

The review of applications starts immediately and will continue until positions are filled.
