International Association
for Cryptologic Research

The Department of Computer Science at Stevens Institute of Technology near New York City is seeking applicants for PhD Student positions in the area of theoretical and applied cryptography. Stevens Computer Science is a rapidly expanding department, and we are looking for talented researchers to join. Successful applicants are expected to participate in a rigorous research program on topics such as encrypted data structures, provable security, and cryptography for AI.

Successful applicants will join the cryptography researchers at Stevens and, specifically, work with Prof. Alex Hoover (https://axhoover.com/about) on projects including topics such as:

• Private Information Retrieval (PIR)
• Encrypted data structures (e.g., ORAM, Structured Encryption)
• Cryptography for AI (e.g., Watermarking)

We have an active group of students, postdoctoral researchers, and faculty. New students will collaborate with current researchers and students at Stevens, as well as with other faculty members active in the area of cryptography.

Applicants must have a BS degree in Computer Science or a closely related field. An MS degree is not required, and students can start in the fall or spring semester. All PhD students are fully funded, including their tuition and stipend. Interested applicants should submit an application on Steven's website (https://www.stevens.edu/academics/graduate-study/phd-application-process) and email a CV and short bio to the contact below.
