While primarily focused on academic publishing, we are interested in collaborating with ZK companies.<p> The postdoctoral researcher should have a strong track record in areas related to the design and analysis of efficient zero-knowledge proofs. We expect the candidate to have published a few papers at IACR conferences or venues of equivalent renown. The Ph.D student must have an MSc or equivalent by this spring, a strong mathematics and/or theoretical computer science background, and an existing cryptography background. We welcome all exceptional candidates. We especially welcome candidates with a background in PQ zk-SNARKs (hash-based or lattice-based) or applications like zkML; in the case of the Ph.D student, we interpret it as a background either in coding theory, lattice-based cryptography, or machine learning.<p> T apply for the positions, submit a letter of motivation (clearly stating why this project and the applicant are a good match), a full research CV, names of two references, and a research statement (obligatory for the postdoctoral researcher), clearly indicating the sought position (postdoc or Ph.D student).<p> The postdoc position starts on August 1, 2025, or later and lasts 2-4 years, depending on the candidate and negotiations. The Ph.D. position starts on September 1, 2025, and lasts four years. The candidates may later seek further employment, but this is not guaranteed in advance.
