The University has 40 000 students and more than 8 000 staff based in Lund, Helsingborg and Malmö. We are united in our efforts to understand, explain and improve our world and the human condition.</p>\n\n\n<p>LTH forms the Faculty of Engineering at Lund University, with approximately 9 000 students. The research carried out at LTH is of a high international standard and we are continuously developing our teaching methods and adapting our courses to current needs.</p>\n\n\n<p><strong>Work duties</strong></p>\n\n\n<p>The research project is in the area of post-quantum cryptography and aims to investigate how the difficult problem \"Learning-With-Errors\" (LWE) or related problems can be used to develop new cryptographic primitives. This includes examining existing primitives that base their security on the LWE problem as well as trying to find new, more effective primitives. One such primitive is fully homomorphic encryption. As LWE has direct connections to algorithms for solving difficult problems in a lattice, these type of problems will also be central to the project. </p>\n\n\n<p>Senior researchers will be active in the project and provide supervision. The work will primarily be funded through a research grant from the Swedish Research Council.</p>\n\n\n<p>The main duties of doctoral students are to devote themselves to their research studies which includes participating in research projects and third cycle courses. The work duties can also include teaching and other departmental duties (no more than 20%).</p>\n\n\n<p><strong>Admission requirements</strong></p>\n\n\n<p>A person meets the general admission requirements for third-cycle courses and study programmes if the applicant:</p>\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>has been awarded a second-cycle qualification, or</li>\n<li>has satisfied the requirements for courses comprising at least 240 credits of which at least 60 credits were awarded in the second cycle, or</li>\n<li>has acquired substantially equivalent knowledge in some other way in Sweden or abroad.</li>\n</ul>\n\n\n<p>A person meets the specific admission requirements for third cycle studies in Electrical Engineering if the applicant has: </p>\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>at least 60 second-cycle credits in subjects of relevance to electrical engineering, or</li>\n<li>a MSc in Engineering in biomedical engineering, computer science, electrical engineering, engineering mathematics, nanoengineering, engineering physics or information and communication engineering</li>\n</ul>\n\n\n<p><strong>Additional requirements:</strong></p>\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Very good oral and written proficiency in English.</li>\n<li>Strong knowledge and skills in in one or several of the following areas: cryptology, coding theory, abstract algebra, number theory, discrete mathematics, programming in C, Java, Python, or other languages.</li>\n</ul>\n\n\n<p><strong>Assessment criteria</strong></p>\n\n\n<p>Selection for third-cycle studies is based on the student’s potential to profit from such studies. The assessment of potential is made primarily on the basis of academic results from the first and second cycle. Special attention is paid to the following:</p>\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>Knowledge and skills relevant to the thesis project and the subject of study.</li>\n<li>An assessment of ability to work independently and to formulate and tackle research problems.</li>\n<li>Written and oral communication skills</li>\n<li>Other experience relevant to the third-cycle studies, e.g. professional experience.</li>\n</ol>\n\n\n<p>Consideration will also be given to good collaborative skills, drive and independence, and how the applicant, through his or her experience and skills, is deemed to have the abilities necessary for successfully completing the third cycle programme.</p>\n\n\n<p><strong>Terms of employment</strong></p>\n\n\n<p>Only those admitted to third cycle studies may be appointed to a doctoral studentship. Third cycle studies at LTH consist of full-time studies for 4 years. A doctoral studentship is a fixed-term employment of a maximum of 5 years (including 20% departmental duties). Doctoral studentships are regulated in the Higher Education Ordinance (1993:100), chapter 5, 1-7 §§.</p>\n\n\n<p><strong>Instructions on how to apply</strong></p>\n\n\n<p>Applications shall be written in English and include a cover letter stating the reasons why you are interested in the position and in what way the research project corresponds to your interests and educational background. The application must also contain a CV, degree certificate or equivalent, and other documents you wish to be considered (grade transcripts, contact information for your references, letters of recommendation, etc.). </p>\n\n\n<p>Lund University welcomes applicants with diverse backgrounds and experiences. We regard gender equality and diversity as a strength and an asset. We kindly decline all sales and marketing contacts. </p>\n\n\n","pdfUrl1":null,"location":"Lund (Stad), Skåne (SE)","location1":"유럽","location2":null,"location3":null,"type":"2","applyUrl":"https://lu.varbi.com/en/what:job/jobID:358175/type:job/where:4/apply:1","fileUrl1":null,"fileUrl2":null,"fileUrl3":null,"fileUrl4":null,"fileUrl5":null,"fileUrl6":null,"fileUrl7":null,"workingHour":"Full Time","contractType":"Temporary","salary":null,"original_id":"UNI|230691","original_domain":"https://www.timeshighereducation.com/unijobs","original_url":"https://www.timeshighereducation.com/unijobs/listing/230691/doctoral-student-in-electrical-engineering-with-focus-on-cryptology-/","original_isPremium":"false","closeType":2,"closedAt":null,"requireEducation":0,"managerTel":"","managerFax":null,"managerEmail":null,"managerName":"LUND UNIVERSITY","managerPhone":null,"managerAddress":null,"log_hit":1,"log_like":0,"publishState":1,"organizationName":null,"organizationName_en":null,"organizationName_alt":null,"createdAt":"2020-10-22T00:00:00.000Z","updatedAt":"2020-10-22T20:16:05.000Z"},"organization":{"organizationId":554,"lv1Id":null,"lv2Id":null,"name":"Lund University","name_en":"Lund University","name_alt":",","introduction":"<p>Founded in 1666, Lund University is a public research university in Sweden that consistently ranks among the world’s top universities.</p><p>Located in the city of Lund, in southern Sweden (close to Denmark and Germany), the university also has campuses in Malmö and Helsingborg.</p><p>Home to over 41,000 students, 3,000 of them postgraduate, and more than 7,000 staff, it is considered to be one of the biggest Nordic educational and research institutions.</p><p> </p><p>It also boasts one of Scandinavia’s most extensive educational programmes, with over 300 degree programmes and 2,000 courses.
