The ISG is seeking to recruit a post-doctoral research assistant to work in the area of “Cryptography: Bridging Theory and Practice”. The position is available immediately and will run until February 28th 2015.
The research assistant will join a team of postdocs and PhD students working under the leadership of Prof. Kenny Paterson. The aim of the project is to find weaknesses in cryptographic specifications and implementations, to understand how these weaknesses can be addressed in practical ways, and to develop extensions of current cryptographic theory that permit more realistic modelling of cryptographic primitives as they are used in fielded systems. The position will also involve activities designed to engage both the theory community and practitioners in the research.
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, in either theoretical or applied aspects of the subject, and, ideally, in both aspects. Applicants should be able to demonstrate scientific creativity, research independence, and the ability to communicate their ideas effectively in written and verbal form.
Informal enquiries can be made to Kenny Paterson at kenny.paterson@rhul.ac.uk.
