International Association
for Cryptologic Research

I am looking for a motivated and curious student to join my group as a PhD student in the area of cryptanalysis of symmetric ciphers. The research will span classical and quantum cryptanalysis, with intersections in machine learning and cipher design. You are expected to have a strong background in Computer Science or related fields, solid programming skills (C, C++, Python, etc.), and basic knowledge of cryptography and algorithms. Familiarity with Cryptographic tools (SageMath, PyCryptodome, etc.) and exposure to ML is desirable.

You should have a B.Tech/M.Tech (Computer Science or IT) from a recognized institution. CSIR/UGC JRF would be preferable. Stipend will be as per institute norms (INR 60,000 per month, including HRA).

How to apply:
Send an email attached with your CV and transcripts/mark sheets to ravi.anand@iiitd.ac.in, with the subject line “Position -- PhD” by July 15, 2025.
