Postdoc in isogeny-based cryptography

Postdoc in isogeny-based cryptography Technical University of Munich, Germany A position for a postdoctoral researcher in isogeny-based cryptography is available in the research group led by Prof. Lorenz Panny in the Department of Mathematics at TUM, located at the Garching campus. The group was established in 2023 and primarily focuses on mathematical and algorithmic aspects of post-quantum cryptography, ranging from constructive to cryptanalytic considerations.

At this time, the group consists of the group leader and two PhD students (one at TUM, one external). This position is part of the DFG-funded CRYPTIQ project, a cooperation with Prof. Christophe Petit (Université libre de Bruxelles, Belgium).

The position is limited to about 2 years (depending on the start date), with a salary following the German TV-L scale for civil servants (level E13).

Funding for attending academic events is available. Requirements for the position include a doctoral degree in a suitable field (mathematics or computer science), as well as solid English skills in speaking and writing (knowledge of German is not needed).

The ideal candidate has previously completed novel research projects on topics in (or related to) isogeny-based cryptography, and has built an excellent academic track record in the process.
