Open Positions

PhD and PostDoc Positions

We are looking for talented colleagues (PhD, Post Doc) who are interested in post-quantum cryptography, and have a strong background in mathematics, computer science, or physics.

If you are interested, please send an email to juliane.kraemer@ur.de, including a short CV (including publications, if applicable) and a letter of motivation, where you also describe your research interest.

Student Assistant Positions

• We are currently looking for a student assistant to supervise a exercise session for the lecture "Fundamentals of IT Security" ('Grundlagen der IT-Sicherheit', 3rd semester, B.Sc. Computer Science) in German language. The contents of the tutorials will be provided, so the responsibilities include conducting the tutorial and preparing for it. Master’s students, for example, from Business Informatics (Wirtschaftsinformatik), who have successfully completed a lecture in the field of IT security, are particularly encouraged to apply. If you are interested, please contact us at juliane.kraemer@ur.de.

• We are looking for a student assistant to support to prepare teaching materials for the lectures "Fundamentals of IT Security" (Grundlagen der IT-Sicherheit) and/or "Introduction to Cryptography" (Einführung in die Kryptographie). Depending on your experience and availability, tasks may include literature research, preparing graphics using TikZ, and writing a script with LaTeX based on the lecture materials. Students in their third semester or higher in the B.Sc. Computer Science or Data Science programs, as well as students from other advanced study programs who have successfully completed a lecture in the field of IT security, are eligible to apply. If you are interested, please contact us at juliane.kraemer@ur.de.

• We are looking for a student assistant to implement a number of attacks against symmetric cryptographic schemes. Details can be found in this document.
• We are looking for a student assistant to do literature research on the so-called FO-transform used in many key exchange schemes. Applications from students at other universities (and remote work) are possible. Details can be found in this document.
• We are looking for a student assistant to create a literature overview related to physical security of post-quantum schemes. Basic knowledge in Latex is required. If you are interested please contact maximiliane.weishaeupl@ur.de.
