design and formal verification of security protocols, programs, and architectures,

cryptography,

network and operating systems security,

web security,

privacy enhancing technologies in a broad sense, privacy in data acquisition, processing, and publishing,

reliability, accountability and trust,

security and privacy in decentralized systems,

as well cross-cutting disciplines such as usability and social aspects in this research field.

Positions are being offered for two years, with the possibility of renewal for another year. Postdoc applicants are required to hold a doctoral degree in computer science or a closely related area, or have it completed at the time of taking up the position. We expect successful applicants to have a strong background in one or more of the aforementioned research topics, and to maintain an outstanding academic track record. The working and teaching language is English.

Please send your application to Michael Backes via e-mail. Applications should contain a CV, copies of transcripts, certificates as well as a research statement and two references. Applications will be accepted until the positions have been filled.
