PhD Position in Secure Multi-Party Computation

Are you intrigued by the idea of unlocking the full potential of data while ensuring privacy? Do you enjoy working in a team of young and motivated researchers? If so, we have the perfect opportunity for you!

Cryptography today is about much more than just securing communication—it is also a powerful tool for enabling private computations. Secure Multi-Party Computation (MPC) is an exciting field that bridges privacy and data utility, allowing multiple parties with private inputs to perform joint computations without revealing their individual data. This technology has far-reaching implications across industries, from healthcare to finance, empowering secure and privacy-preserving data analysis.

We are looking for a PhD student to join our team and contribute to cutting-edge research in theoretical computer science, with a focus on Secure Multi-Party Computation. You will join the Theory of Computer Science group at the Informatics Institute.

This PhD project aims to push the boundaries of our understanding of the feasibility of MPC protocols, as well as design more efficient protocols for real-world applications. The project is funded by the NWO Gravitation project “Challenges in Cyber Security”, a collaboration with partners from TU Eindhoven, Radboud University, CWI and Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. The PhD candidate will have ample opportunities to collaborate with leading scientists from these institutions, as well as with the broader, vibrant community of theoretical computer science researchers in Amsterdam ( https://theory.amsterdam).
