International Association
for Cryptologic Research

Applications are invited for a Post-Doc post at the School of Computing Science, Newcastle University, UK. The post is funded by European Research Council (ERC), until end of Dec 2017. The project is on investigating \"self-enforcing e-voting\", but the candidate has the flexibility to work with a team of researchers on a diversified range of topics that concern real-world security, e.g., authenticated key exchange, BitCoin, NFC payment security, e-auction, e-passport and mobile sensor security.

The successful applicant will join a vibrant and growing Secure and Resilient Systems (SRS) research group at the School of computing Science, Newcastle University. So far research works in the group have been largely driven by tackling real-world security problems, with some of the research outcomes adopted by international standards and deployed in large-scale commercial applications.

About us: The School of Computing Science at Newcastle University is recognised as one of the fourteen Academic Centres of Excellence in Cyber Security Research (ACEs-CSR) in the UK. In the latest 2014 Research Excellence Framework (REF) assessment which included all UK universities, Newcastle University CS was ranked the 1st in the UK for its Research Impact.
