Job Posting
We are looking for a highly motivated post-doctoral researcher in post-quantum cryptography with particular emphasis on multivariate-based cryptography.
As a recent response to the recent NIST call for new post-quantum secure signature schemes, 11 multivariate-based signature schemes were submitted. The goal of the post-doc is to focus on cryptanalysis of these submissions and more specifically on methods from algebraic geometry that can aid in breaking said systems.
Specific Skills Required: The candidate should hold a PhD degree in mathematics and/or computer science, preferably with experience in algebraic geometry and with multivariate cryptography in particular.
The position is for 1 year (with a possible extension of an extra year depending on performance) and can start on any date after 01/01/2024. You can apply for this job until 31/01/2024.
