PhD fellowships in cryptography at the University of Warsaw

Faculty of Mathematics, Informatics and Mechanics of the University of
Warsaw is looking for PhD students (3 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. The PhD students will be expected to work on the
mathematical aspects of the project.

duration: 1.10.2011 - 31.05.2015 (an earlier starting date is possible
for students already enrolled to the PhD program at the University of
Warsaw, or at some other Polish scientific institution).

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