MSc fellowships in cryptography at the University of Warsaw

Faculty of Mathematics, Informatics and Mechanics of the University of
Warsaw is looking for MSc students (2 positions) to work on the
project "Cryptographic Protocols Provably-Secure Against Physical
Attacks". The project is founded by the Foundation for Polish Science
"Welcome" programme operated within the Innovative Economy Operational
Programme 2007-2013.

The ideal candidates should be familiar with the probability theory,
computational complexity, algebra, and number theory. The knowledge
of cryptography and information theory is a plus, but is not a
prerequisite. Fluency in English is a must. The students can work
both on the theoretical aspects of the project, and on the practical
implementations.

duration: 2 years, starting date: 1.08.2011 (or later)

Formal requirement: while participating in the project the student
should be enrolled to the MSc-level studies at some Polish university.

There is no strict application deadline but candidates applying by
15.07.2011 (noon) will be given preference.

More information about the project and the positions is available at:
