We do research on several topics in the area of cryptography and privacy engineering, such as cryptographic protocols, secure multi-party computation, private function evaluation, tools for cryptographic protocols, and privacy-preserving applications like privacy-preserving machine learning and graph analysis.

Our requirements usually are (depending on the level):

• Basic knowledge (for HiWis) up to several publications at top venues (for Postdocs) in applied cryptography, ideally on some of our research topics mentioned above
• Ideally programming experience, as we often build software prototypes
• Very good command of English, no requirement for German
• High degree of self-motivation, reliability, diligence, creativity, and the ability to work independently
• HiWis/SHKs must be enrolled at a German university

We offer:

• An open-minded, international, and diverse working atmosphere with a strong team spirit, enabling excellent research
• Publishing and presenting research results at international conferences and workshops
• Collaborations within a broad research environment in cryptography/IT-security locally within CYSEC and internationally
• Attending training and workshops for professional and personal development offered by HR and Ingenium
• Possibility to work on site in new offices or from home; working entirely remotely is not possible

If you fulfil these requirements and are interested to work at ENCRYPTO, please send your complete application to application@encrypto.cs.tu-darmstadt.de with all of the following documents in a single PDF:

• Letter of motivation how your expertise fits into our research and what you are most interested in
• CV
• Transcript(s) of records with grades of your current (and previous) studies
• High school diploma (Abiturzeugnis) with individual grades
• Links to your Bachelor/Master/PhD theses (for PhDs students & PostDocs)

If some of these documents are in a different language, please attach them anyways for completeness.
