PhD in Fully Homomorphic Encryption (Fhe)

The Department of Information Security and Communication Technology invites applications for a PhD Research Fellow position in Post-Quantum Cryptography for Privacy Preserving Protocols. The successful candidate will be offered a 4‑year appointment that includes teaching responsibilities./nThe selected candidate will conduct research in Post-Quantum Cryptography with a particular focus on privacy-preserving protocols. The research will cover major Privacy-Enhancing Techniques (PETs), including Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE), Secure Multi-party Computation (MPC), and Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs). The candidate will design, analyze, and implement advanced privacy-preserving cryptographic protocols, with applications to real-world domains such as machine learning, distributed systems, and blockchain technologies./nYour immediate leader will be the Head of the Cryptology Unit at the Department of Information Security and Communication Technology. The workplace will be located in Trondheim.
