[DMANET] Crypto Postdoc @ Durham

The Department of Computer Science at Durham University is looking for a
postdoctoral researcher from 1 Jan 2022 to work on an EPSRC project on
topics related to password-hashing algorithms and idealized models of
computation for a period of two years.

We would be interested in applicants holding (or nearing the completion of)
a PhD in Cryptography, Algorithms and Complexity, or Mathematics who have
strong interests in the foundational aspects of crypto, proof techniques,
and definitional work. For those with backgrounds Complexity/Math, the
position would be a good opportunity for transitioning into Cryptography.

Durham is one of the top (and oldest) universities in the UK, and the CS
department hosts one of the strongest Theory groups across the ACiD and
NESTiD groups:
