for Cryptologic Research

The Florida Institute of Cyber Security (FICS) at the University of Florida is in search of a Post-Doctoral Research Fellow for participation in the AFOSR sponsored “MURI: Universal Security Theory for Evaluation and Design of Nano-scale Devices and for Development of Innovative Security Primitives” led by Prof. Mark Tehranipoor. The Post-Doctoral Fellow will provide expertise primarily in the area of applied cryptography, but should be open to investigating new security primitives and computing paradigms based on emerging nanoscale devices (e.g., memristor, PCM, Graphene) and integration approaches (e.g., 3D ICs). The Fellow will work closely with the PI and co-PIs, and actively advise PhD students involved with the MURI.

Ideal candidates should have experience in the following areas:

- Applied cryptography and provable security

- Formal methods applied to security protocols

- Information theory

- Embedded and hardware security primitives including PUFs, TRNGs, etc.

The position is available immediately and for a period of up to three years.

Job Requirements:

- PhD in Computer Science, Electrical and Computer Engineering, or related field

- Excellent technical English writing and oral communication skills

- Should have papers published in top tier conferences/journals (IEEE S&P, CCS, USENIX Security, etc.)

- Familiarity with VLSI design principles, CAD tools, and emerging integration approaches (2.5D ICs, 3D ICs) is encouraged, but not required

Application Procedure:

- Interested applicants should send CVs and supporting information (relevant publications, etc.) to Prof. Domenic Forte (dforte (at) ece.ufl.edu) and Prof. Mark Tehranipoor (tehranipoor (at) ece.ufl.edu)

- Only short-listed candidates will be notified for interview

- Application closes when the position is filled
