We are offering

multiple fully funded PhD/PostDoc positions

in the project CRYPTOECONOMICS which explores the intersection of 
cryptography and algorithmic game theory in the context of decentralized 
finance. The project will be carried out jointly by researchers at TU 
Darmstadt and Goethe University Frankfurt.

As a member of the project, you will conduct research on blockchain 
technologies and publish/present your results at top venues for research 
in blockchains, cryptography, and/or algorithmic game theory. Topics of 
particular interest include (but are not limited to):

- Cryptography for Blockchains and Cryptocurrencies
- Decentralized Finance
- Economics and Computation for Blockchains
- Design and Analysis of Distributed Algorithms

Your profile:
- For a PhD position, you hold a Master degree from a top university 
with excellent grades in computer science, mathematics, or a similar 
area. You have a strong mathematical and/or algorithmic/theoretical CS 
background and are fluent in English. Knowledge in one of the topics 
mentioned above is a plus.
- For a PostDoc position you additionally hold a PhD and have 
publications at top venues in blockchains, cryptography or algorithmic 
game theory (e.g., Crypto, Eurocrypt, CCS, FC, AFT, STOC, FOCS, SODA, 
EC, WINE, AAAI, IJCAI, etc.).

Your application should contain (in a single PDF) a CV, record of 
grades, a short motivation letter and at least one contact for a 
reference letter. Since there are multiple positions available, please 
indicate in your application if your main interest lies in cryptography 
or game theory.

The project is part of the ATHENE national center for IT security and 
privacy, which is one of Europe’s largest centers for research in IT 
security. We offer an excellent working environment in the heart of the 
Frankfurt Metropolitan Area, which is internationally well-known for its 
high quality of life. The review of applications starts immediately 
until the positions are filled.
