Inquiries are invited for externally-funded post-doc and PhD student positions in applied cryptography at NJIT in Newark, NJ, USA. NJIT is a rapidly expanding R1 research university in metro New York City.

The candidate will support research in applied encryption technologies at the NJIT cryptolab. The candidate will oversee the development of a new lattice encryption library written in C++. Experience with C++ and lattice encryption is essential. Experience writing software as part of technical software teams is essential. A PhD in CS, EE, CmpE, Applied Math or a related field is required.

The ideal candidate will have working knowledge of network security and C++ programming. Software engineering, software testing, high-performance computing, computer engineering and parallel programming experience would be beneficial but not critical. The candidate should be able to write and speak clearly. The ideal candidate will also have experience in embedded computing, open-source development, high performance computing and applications of encryption technologies.

The candidates will be supervised by Prof. Kurt Rohloff in the department of computer science at NJIT. The post-doc position can be renewed subject to continued availability of external funding and success in the position.
