The University of Luxembourg, a leading international research university, is offering a postdoctoral fellowship in cryptography within its Faculty of Science, Technology and Medicine (FSTM). The successful candidate will join the Applied Crypto Group, led by Professor Jean-Sebastien Coron, and contribute to cutting-edge research projects in cryptography. The group focuses on topics such as fully homomorphic encryption, public-key cryptanalysis, side-channel attacks, and countermeasures, providing a dynamic environment for advanced research and collaboration. As a postdoctoral fellow, you will shape research directions, produce results in one or more of the core cryptographic areas, contribute to teaching activities (up to 90 hours per year), guide PhD and MSc students, and disseminate findings through scientific publications. The position offers a unique opportunity to work in a multilingual and interdisciplinary setting, with access to high-quality equipment and close ties to both academic and industry partners across Europe. Applicants must hold a PhD in cryptography, have a competitive research record in the field, and demonstrate fluent written and verbal communication skills in English. The University of Luxembourg values inclusivity and encourages applications from individuals of all backgrounds. The position is based at the Belval Campus and is offered as a fixed-term contract for 30 months, with a yearly gross salary of EUR 85176. To apply, candidates should submit a curriculum vitae (including contact address, work experience, publications, and contact information for three referees), a cover letter detailing motivation and alignment with the research topic, a PhD diploma or documentation indicating expected defense date, and transcripts of all university-level courses taken. Applications must be submitted online through the University of Luxembourg HR system by March 15th, 2026. Early applications are encouraged, as review begins upon receipt.
