Found Description
We focus on foundations of cryptography and are searching for a motivated PhD candidate to join our team. We develop new security definitions which match practical applications, explore complexity-theoretic relations, develop novel, sophisticated proof techniques, and design schemes that provably satisfy strong security guarantees. In the current project (see WWTF project FARCry) we explore the foundations and applications of resource-restricted cryptography. Strong mathematics skills are advantageous and arguing by formal mathematical proofs is essential. The position is funded for 4 years with a competitive salary and available from October 2026. For eligibility, an MSc degree in Computer Science or Mathematics (or a related field) is required. Applications must contain all required documents and be done exclusively through the linked job portal of University of Vienna. University of Vienna is located centrally and public transport is extraordinarily good. Vienna is internationally v...
