美国乔治梅森大学Cryptographic Engineering Research Group招收全奖博士生

Cryptographic Engineering Research Group (CERG) at George Mason University, U.S.A., is seeking qualified candidates for multiple Ph.D. students / Graduate Research Assistants in the area:

1.        Efficient implementations of Post-Quantum Cryptosystems, side-channel attacks targeting these cryptosystems, and countermeasures against such attacks.

The desired qualifications include
* strong mathematical background in algebra and number theory,
* experience in hardware design using hardware description languages, and
* knowledge of C and scripting languages, such as Python.

Additional experience in
* Magma or SageMath,
* FPGA or ASIC design,
* software/hardware codesign,
* High-Level Synthesis,
* embedded software development, and/or
* Linux operating system
is a plus.

===========================================================================

2.        Efficient and secure implementations of Lightweight Cryptography.

The desired qualifications include experience in
* embedded systems,
* knowledge of C, assembly, and scripting languages,
* hardware design using hardware description languages,
* Linux operating system, and
* strong experimental skills.

Additional experience in
* side-channel and/or fault attacks,
* countermeasures against these attacks,
* FPGA or ASIC design,
* software/hardware codesign,
* embedded software development, and/or
* circuit/PCB design
is a plus.

===========================================================================

All positions are open starting in January 2019. Qualified candidates should apply to the ECE Ph.D. program at George Mason University by October 15, 2018. In parallel, an earlier e-mail contact with Dr. Gaj <kgaj@gmu.edu> and Dr. Kaps <jkaps@gmu.edu> is highly recommended.

Please note that a subset of the aforementioned requirements may be sufficient, and if the positions are not filled by the Spring 2019 deadline, starting Ph.D. studies in Fall 2019 may be possible. In any case, please contact the aforementioned professors as early as possible.

Dr. Gaj and Dr. Kaps will do their best to interview a substantial number of candidates that best meet the requirements of all advertised positions, using Skype, before October 15, 2018.
