Phd On Physical Unclonable Functions and Quantum

2 maanden geleden


Eindhoven, Nederland TU Eindhoven Voltijd

**Job description**:
The project focuses on the use of PUFs as a physical authentication credential, and in particular Quantum Readout of PUFs, which enables remote authentication of physical credentials without the need to trust remote devices.

One of the goals is to achieve Quantum Readout through a long optical fiber, with random challenges in the time-frequency domain (instead of the easier to achieve transverse modes domain).
You will be involved in the system modeling, the design of protocols, and the security analysis.
A broader topic of interest is the use of PUFs in (quantum) security schemes in general.

We are looking for a researcher with strong analytical skills, with a master's degree in theoretical physics, cryptography, or a related field.

The research is done at the Eindhoven Institute for the Protection of Systems and Information (EIPSI), in the department of Mathematics and Computer Science. There is a strong collaboration with the TU/e's fiber optics experts at the department of Electrical Engineering, and with physicists at Twente University.

This position is part of the Dutch Zwaartekracht program "Challenges in Cyber Security", which aims to address fundamental open problems in digital security.

**Job requirements**:

- A master’s degree (or an equivalent university degree) in theoretical physics, cryptography, or related field.
- A research-oriented attitude.
- Ability to work in an interdisciplinary team.
- Motivated to develop your teaching skills and coach students.
- Fluent in spoken and written English (C1 level).

**Conditions of employment**:
A meaningful job in a dynamic and ambitious university, in an interdisciplinary setting and within an international network. You will work on a beautiful, green campus within walking distance of the central train station. In addition, we offer you:

- Full-time employment for four years, with an intermediate evaluation (go/no-go) after nine months. You will spend 10% of your employment on teaching tasks.
- Salary and benefits (such as a pension scheme, paid pregnancy and maternity leave, partially paid parental leave) in accordance with the _Collective Labour Agreement_ for Dutch Universities, scale P (min. €2,872 max. €3,670).
- A year-end bonus of 8.3% and annual vacation pay of 8%.
- High-quality training programs and other support to grow into a self-aware, autonomous scientific researcher. At TU/e we challenge you to take charge of your own learning process.
- An excellent technical infrastructure, on-campus children's day care and sports facilities.
- An allowance for commuting, working from home and internet costs.
