Postdoctoral Researcher (Postdoc) in ERC project "Tools for Protecting Data and Function Privacy"
- Organisation
- TU Darmstadt / Cryptography and Privacy Engineering Group
- Ort
- Darmstadt, Germany
- Profil
- The mission of the Cryptography and Privacy Engineering Group (ENCRYPTO) at the Department of Computer Science of TU Darmstadt is to demonstrate that privacy can be efficiently protected in real-world applications. For this, we bring theoretical results into practice by combining methods from cryptography with algorithm engineering. Our focus is on developing optimized cryptographic protocols, tools, and open-source software prototypes that efficiently protect sensitive data and functions in various applications. See https://encrypto.de/topics for further information.
We offer an open, international working atmosphere and a strong team spirit, with the aim of enabling excellent research. TU Darmstadt is a top research university for IT security and cryptography and for computer science in Europe. - Website der Organisation

- Your Tasks:
You will be working primarily in research within the ERC Consolidator Grant "Tools for Protecting Data and Function Privacy (PRIVTOOLS)". In PRIVTOOLS, we develop composable protocols, optimizations, and tools for protecting data and functions in applications. For this, we use and combine Multi-Party Computation (MPC), Private Function Evaluation (PFE), and Private Set Operations (PSO) such as Private Set Intersection (PSI) and Private Set Union (PSU).
As a postdoctoral researcher at ENCRYPTO, your tasks are project management, close collaboration with doctoral researchers and student assistants, research on design, optimization, implementation and evaluation of efficient cryptographic protocols and tools for their automatic generation, and publishing the results at top international venues in applied cryptography/IT security.
You will also actively contribute to the teaching activities of the ENCRYPTO group, in particular the integrated course "Cryptographic Protocols" and supervising thesis students.
Your Profile:
You have:
- Completed a PhD at a research-oriented university in applied cryptography / IT security or the PhD must have been completed by the start date of employment
- Completed a University Science Degree (Master or equivalent, Bachelor for fast-track PhD) in IT security, computer science, or a similar field with excellent grades
- Several publications in top venues for applied cryptography / IT security (e.g., S&P, CCS, NDSS, USENIX Security, EUROCRYPT, CRYPTO) with CORE ranking A*/A, ideally on cryptographic protocols / secure computation are necessary
- Experience in software development, project management, and supervising students is required
Excellent English skills are required, as the working language of the ENCRYPTO research group is English and you will be discussing, writing, and presenting scientific results in English, whereas knowledge of German is not required for the position.
The following are advantageous:
- Already experience in cryptographic protocols such as Multi-Party Computation (MPC), Private Function Evaluation (PFE), and/or Private Set Operations (PSO) like Private Set Intersection (PSI) and Private Set Union (PSU)
- Knowledge in compiler construction and/or hardware synthesis - Fachbereich
- Computer Science
- Lehrgebiet
- Cryptography and Privacy Engineering
- Anstellungsart
- temporary position for 2 years
- Vergütung
- E14-TV TU Darmstadt
