Two 0.5 full-time equivalent (FTE) positions are offered as part of the DFG funded project Algebraic Fault Attacks.

These positions are remunerated pro rata at salary band E13 of the German public-sector wage agreement (TV-L E13). Candidates may combine these positions with one 0.25 FTE teaching assistantship each.

The successful candidates will participate in an area of the project which uses Computer Algebra techniques and their integration with SAT solvers to break cryptographic hardware primitives based on the information obtained from fault attacks. The interdisciplinary, state-of-the-art approach requires rigorous and broad-based mathematical knowledge and an openness towards computer science methods.
