Researcher positions (postdoc) within the ERC Consolidator grant “Certified Quantum Security”

(Phd positions here.)

As part of the ERC Consolidator Grant "Certified Quantum Security", we are looking for postdocs to work on quantum cryptography and/or post-quantum cryptography.

All areas of (post-)quantum cryptography are welcome, we particularly welcome candidates that will interact with our efforts in formal verification of quantum crypto.

Please contact Dominique Unruh <unruh@ut.ee> if you have more questions about the project, the required background, Estonia, the position itself, or the application process. I can also provide a detailed description of the overall research project.

The salary range is 30000-36000 Euro per year (depending on experience), which is highly competitive in Estonia due to low costs of living and low income tax rate (20%), pension contributions and health insurance are covered by the employer.

Applications are accepted at any time (until all positions are filled), and positions can start as soon as possible. Positions are for 2-3 years (up to negotiation).

To apply, please send the following documents to unruh@ut.ee:

  • Curriculum vitae (please explain your scientific background)
  • List of publications
  • Research plan (i.e., how do you think you could contribute to the topic)
  • At least two letters of reference (please ask for the letters to be sent directly to us)
  • Phd degree

Please apply as soon as possible.
