«If you are passionate about information security and cryptography - we would love to receive your application!»
We are looking for an excellent, motivated, post-doctoral researcher to work in the area of information security and cryptography. The post-doctoral researcher will join Katerina Mitrokotsa's research group (Chair of Cyber Security), working in the area of information and communication security with a focus on authentication protocols, verifiable delegation of computation, and secure multi-party computation. The position is available for one plus one year after a successful review evaluation.
Key Responsibilities:
- The post-doctoral fellow is expected to perform exciting and challenging research in the area of information security and cryptography including the design of provably secure cryptographic protocols.
- The post-doctoral fellow shall be involved in the supervision of PhD and master students.
The Chair of Cyber Security, is a part of the Institute of Computer Science (ICS) at the University of St. Gallen. The chair was established in autumn semester 2020 and is led by Prof. Dr. Katerina Mitrokotsa. Our research interests are centered around information security and applied cryptography, with the larger goal of safeguarding communications and providing strong privacy guarantees. We are currently active in multiple areas including the design of provably secure cryptographic protocols and cryptographic primitives that can be employed for reliable authentication, outsourcing computations in cloud-assisted settings, network security problems as well as secure and privacy-preserving machine learning.
