[DMANET] Post Doc in Cryptography at Aarhus University

A post doc position in cryptography, under the supervision of
Associate Professor Kasper Green Larsen, is available at Aarhus
University, Denmark. The focus of the research project is on
developing and applying techniques for proving lower bounds in
cryptography.

Candidates with expertise in cryptography are preferred. It is not
expected that the applicant has significant experience in proving
lower bounds, but the candidate should have a good overview of the
field of cryptography, and should be able to independently identify
problems where we can collaborate on proving lower bounds.

The daily work will be carried out in close collaboration between the
Algorithms (and Complexity) group and the Cryptography group at Aarhus
University. The supervisor Kasper Green Larsen represent the
Algorithms group. The cryptography group consists of faculty members
Professor Ivan Damgaard, Professor Jesper Buus Nielsen, Associate
Professor Claudio Orlandi and Assistant Professor Peter Scholl. Jesper
Buus Nielsen will also take an active part in the project, and in
general, there will be rich opportunity for collaboration across the
two research groups (which are physically located next to each other).

The position is available with a start of August 1st, 2020 (a later
start date may be negotiated in light of COVID-19). The position is
initially for two years, but may be extended by mutual consent.

The application deadline for the position is July 1st,
2020. Applicants should apply online via our recruitment system by
sending a letter of interest and a CV, as well as indicate at least
two names of references for recommendations. Follow this link to

Questions regarding the position should be directed to Associate
Professor Kasper Green Larsen (larsen@cs.au.dk)

The place of work will be Dept. of Computer Science, Aarhus
University, Aabogade 34, DK8200 Aarhus, Denmark.

Best regards
Kasper Green Larsen
