We are accepting applications for WASP-funded PhD positions in cryptography, with a focus on emerging topics in symmetric-key cryptography. Multiple positions are available, and the specific topics will be discussed with the selected candidates. Candidates are expected to read the description at the link below and prepare a cover letter stating their topics of interest. Candidates with a research background at the MSc level in cryptography (including implementations) are encouraged to apply. Candidates are expected to demonstrate their background and ability to do research without reliance on LLMs. Given that the cover letter is part of the evaluation, applicants are advised to write it without LLMs.
