The Department of Combinatorics and Optimization at the University of Waterloo invites applications from qualified candidates for 2-year postdoctoral fellowship appointments in post-quantum cryptography under the supervision of Prof. David Jao, Prof. Michele Mosca, and Prof. Douglas Stebila.

A Ph.D. degree and evidence of excellence in research are required. Successful applicants are expected to maintain an active program of research, and participate in research activities with academic and industry partners in the grant. The annual salary is 70,000 CAD. In addition, a travel fund of 3,000 CAD per year is provided. The positions are available immediately.

Interested individuals should apply using the MathJobs site (https://www.mathjobs.org/jobs/list/26357/). Applications should include a cover letter describing their interest in the position, a curriculum vitae and research statement and at least three reference letters.

The University of Waterloo acknowledges that much of our work takes place on the traditional territory of the Neutral, Anishinaabeg and Haudenosaunee peoples. Our main campus is situated on the Haldimand Tract, the land granted to the Six Nations that includes six miles on each side of the Grand River. Our active work toward reconciliation takes place across our campuses through research, learning, teaching, and community building, and is centralized within our Indigenous Initiatives Office.

The University regards equity and diversity as an integral part of academic excellence and is committed to accessibility for all employees. We encourage applications from candidates who have been historically disadvantaged and marginalized, including applicants who identify as Indigenous peoples (e.g., First Nations, Métis, Inuit/Inuk), Black, racialized, people with disabilities, women and/or 2SLGBTQ+. If you have any application, interview or workplace accommodation requests, please contact Carol Seely-Morrison (caseelymorrison@uwaterloo.ca).

All qualified candidates are encouraged to apply; however, Canadians and permanent residents will be given priority.
