We are offering<br>
<br>
multiple fully funded PhD/PostDoc positions<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
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):<br>
<br>
- Cryptography for Blockchains and Cryptocurrencies<br>
- Decentralized Finance<br>
- Economics and Computation for Blockchains<br>
- Design and Analysis of Distributed Algorithms<br>
<br>
Your profile:<br>
- 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.<br>
- 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.).<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
