About this position
This postdoctoral fellowship at Monash University is part of the ARC Centre of Excellence in Mathematics for Quantum Era Security & Trust (MathQuEST), a collaborative research centre focused on mathematics for quantum-era security. The role is based at Monash’s Clayton campus in Melbourne and sits within a research-intensive environment that brings together investigators across multiple Australian universities and international partners.
The project centers on post-quantum cryptography, with a particular emphasis on designing privacy-preserving cryptographic protocols using lattice-based cryptography. The fellow will work on frontier problems in applied cryptography, contributing to the development of advanced protocols and privacy tools intended for high-value real-world applications such as blockchain and secure messaging systems.
The position is supervised by Professor Ron Steinfeld and connected to the broader MathQuEST Centre led by Professor Nalini Joshi. The advert highlights a collegiate, inclusive, and collaborative research culture, with opportunities to engage with chief investigators across the Centre, develop communication skills, participate in outreach, and receive mentoring and training. The wider centre environment is interdisciplinary, international, and strongly oriented toward research impact, publication, and translation of mathematical ideas into secure technologies.
The role includes independent and collaborative research, implementation and analysis of lattice-based cryptographic methods, publication in leading cryptography and security venues, and presentation of findings at academic and industry forums. It also offers occasional interaction with postgraduate students in the field.
