International Association
for Cryptologic Research

The position is initially limited to 4 years. We offer a tenure track; the decision on extension or tenure will be taken based on an evaluation of results after 4 years. We offer competitive personal compensation and access to resources comparable to the assistant/associate professor level. Applicants will be selected based on their credentials, references and participation in a scientific colloquium.

The position will be responsible for forming and leading a research team.

Candidates must have a finished PhD/doctoral degree in Computer Science or a related area; an outstanding publication record; and demonstrated experience in working with the international research community. Ideally they have held at least one postdoc position at a university other than the one they obtained their PhD degree from.

This position is associated with the European Center for Security and Privacy by Design (EC-SPRIDE), a new center established jointly by Fraunhofer SIT and the Technische Universität Darmstadt, pending approval by the German Ministry of Science and Education (BMBF). The success of EC-SPRIDE will be measured in terms of the quality and the impact of its research results. While the scope at large is defined - engineering methods for building, testing and assuring predictably secure systems - the specific goals and objectives will be determined by the EC-SPRIDE senior researchers.
