International Association
for Cryptologic Research

Applications are invited for the post of Postdoctoral Research Assistant in the Information Security Group.

The Postdoctoral Research Assistant will join a team consisting of Professor Kenny Paterson (PI), Dr. Martin Albrecht, Dr Enrique Larraia, and the Visiting Researchers Professor Dennis Hofheinz (TU Karlsruhe) and Professor Steven Galbraith (Auckland) on topics within the following areas:

- the construction and analysis of multilinear maps;

- the development of sound abstractions of current and future proposals for multilinear maps that are suitable for use by cryptographers;

- the development of cryptographic schemes making use of multilinear maps; and

- the formal security analyses of these schemes.

Applicants should have already completed, or be close to completing, a PhD in a relevant discipline. Applicants should have an outstanding research track record in Cryptography, ideally with significant experience in cryptanalysis of lattice-based schemes and/or the analysis of cryptographic schemes using provable security techniques. Applicants should be able to demonstrate scientific creativity, research independence, and the ability to communicate their ideas effectively in written and verbal form.

This is a time post, immediately available until the 31st July 2017. This post is based in Egham, Surrey where the College is situated in a beautiful, leafy campus near to Windsor Great Park and within commuting distance from London.
