Postdoc in PQC: Some new standards have been established already, but a lot of work is still needed for a successful migration, ranging from a wider portfolio of post-quantum secure primitives (both in functionality and footprint), increased confidence in the underlying assumptions through advanced cryptanalysis, improved implementations with high assurance (e.g. against microarchitectural or side-channel attacks), and integration of primitives in wider protocols and products. The successful applicant will be able to explore and contribute to these exciting research and development questions, with an opportunity to set their own research agenda. (Application deadline 15 August)

PhD Position: Do you want to contribute to making our increasingly digitised world safer by diving into the exciting field of cryptographic analysis? This research topic aims to build confidence in the cryptography we all rely on in our daily lives. The successful applicant will have the opportunity to explore and contribute to groundbreaking research in the cryptanalysis of novel symmetric encryption algorithms designed for advanced protocols, so-called STAPs. (Application deadline 1 September)
