International Association
for Cryptologic Research

The USF Center for Cryptographic Research is recruiting multiple postdoctoral fellows to work on Applied Algebra with an emphasis on Cryptography, Coding Theory, and Quantum Computing. The successful candidates will be hosted by the USF Department of Mathematics & Statistics on our Tampa campus.

Our program is supported by an NSF Research Training Group (RTG) grant. More information about our RTG program is available at: http://usf-crypto.org/rtg-overview/.

Minimum qualifications include a Ph.D. from an accredited institution in mathematics, computer science, or a related field. ABD candidates are acceptable, but the degree must be conferred before the intended start date. Must meet university criteria for appointment to the rank of Postdoctoral Fellow. Preference will be given to candidates with an established record of publications in Applied Algebra; in particular, Cryptography, Coding Theory, or Quantum Computing.

The start date is negotiable, but must be before August 7, 2026. Position will remain open until filled.

Applications must be submitted online at http://jobs.usf.edu. Required documentation, submitted as a SINGLE document, includes a Cover Letter, CV, and a Statement of Research. In addition, candidates should have at least three letters of recommendation submitted through MathJobs.org. The Mathjobs links for the positions are below:

• Position 1 (Cryptography): https://www.mathjobs.org/jobs/list/27368
• Position 2 (Coding Theory): https://www.mathjobs.org/jobs/list/27367
• Position 3 (Quantum Computing): https://www.mathjobs.org/jobs/list/27370
• Position 4 (Open): https://www.mathjobs.org/jobs/list/27371

Positions 1 to 3 are for 3 years, and applicants must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents (Green Card). Position 4 is for 2 years, but carries no residency restriction.

Review of applications will begin on December 1, 2025.
