[Job-offers-cs] Postdoc position in Cryptography - University of Primorska, Slovenia

[Pekka Orponen]

The Departments of Mathematics at the University of Primorska (FAMNIT and
IAM) invite applications for a *postdoctoral researcher position in
Cryptography* under the supervision of Prof. Enes Pasalic.

The project aims to explore and strengthen the theoretical and practical
relationships between special classes of functions — such as bent,
plateaued, and almost perfect nonlinear (APN) functions — and the design of
linear codes with prescribed properties useful for cryptography, including
minimal, self-orthogonal, LCD and optimal codes.

*The research focuses on:*
Studying algebraic and combinatorial links between Boolean/vectorial
functions and linear codes;
Constructing new families of linear codes derived from known or newly
designed functions;
Analysing code parameters, weight distributions, and dual structures;

*Conditions*

*Duration: 1 yearStarting date: by April 2026 at the latest*
Host: UP FAMNIT, University of Primorska, Slovenia
Supervisor: Prof. Enes Pasalic
*Deadline for application: November 10th 2025*

*Requirements*
PhD in Mathematics or a related field (obtained or expected before the
start date);
Research experience or strong interest in coding theory, Boolean and
vectorial functions, finite fields, or computational algebra;
Proficiency in computer algebra systems (Magma, SageMath, GAP) is highly
desirable;
Excellent written and spoken English.

To apply, please email the following documents to razpisi.famnitiam at upr.si
