PhD and Postdoc Opportunities in Cryptography at Nanyang Technological University Nanyang Technological University in Singapore

Xi’an Jiaotong-Liverpool University (XJTLU) in China is advertising multiple postdoctoral positions in the Post-Quantum Cryptography Migration Interdisciplinary Lab (PQC-X) . The openings focus on post-quantum cryptography , multi-party computation , zero-knowledge proofs , and fully homomorphic encryption , with opportunities spanning design, analysis, implementation, and application. The lab is led by Prof. Jintai Ding and is building an internationally collaborative research environment with ...

[£21,805 per annum stipend for 2026/7, plus funding of fees.] PhD studentship at the University of Exeter on End-to-End Verification of Security Protocols in Isabelle . This project investigates how theorem proving can be used to establish end-to-end guarantees for modern security systems. Rather than only verifying a security protocol in isolation, the research asks how to ensure that the checked representation faithfully captures the intended program, so correctness and security can be compose...

Postdoc/Postdoctoral Researcher in Cryptographic Protocols and Secure Computation at Technische Universität Darmstadt (ENCRYPTO Group, Computer Science). The ENCRYPTO Group is recruiting for an immediately available, fully funded 2-year postdoctoral position in the ERC Consolidator Grant project PRIVTOOLS (“Tools for Protecting Data and Function Privacy”). The project focuses on developing composable protocols, optimizations, and tools for protecting data and functions in applications. Research ...

The PhD project focuses on privacy-preserving protocols for digital identity wallets , including the EU Digital Identity (EUDI) Wallet. The student will study how cryptographic tools such as zero-knowledge proofs and anonymous credentials can support selective disclosure, pseudonymity, and unlinkability in real-world wallet deployments, while also examining the privacy and security risks that emerge when wallets are used across public and private services. The work combines protocol design, impl...

One fully funded PhD position is available at Edinburgh Napier University in the Blockpass Identity Lab on the project “Privacy-aware Public Trust Infrastructure (PTI) for Elections with AI Fake Detection” . The project is co-funded by Democracy Counts and focuses on building a privacy-preserving trusted AI infrastructure for elections, including an Electoral Trust Infrastructure (ETI) as an initial implementation. The research sits at the intersection of Artificial Intelligence , Cyber Security...
