Research assistants (all genders)

for a limited period of 3 years. The position is classified according to pay group 13 of the TU Darmstadt collective agreement (TV-TU Darmstadt).

The Implementation Security Group is one of the core groups of the Department of Computer Science at TU Darmstadt. The group was founded in August 2023 under the leadership of Prof. Dr. Amir Moradi. The research focus of the group is on the security of cryptographic implementations. A large part of the research is dedicated to hardware security, protection against physical attacks (side-channel analysis and fault injection attacks), security analysis of real systems, especially the Internet of Things, and efficient hardware and software implementation of cryptographic primitives. This includes various implementation platforms such as ASICs, FPGAs and microprocessors.

The tasks include activities in teaching (supervision of Bachelor's and Master's theses) as well as in research within the framework of a doctorate, in particular:

• in the field of cryptographic implementations in hardware and software,
• physical security and
• side-channel analysis attacks.

In addition, the group's tasks also include coordinating of third-party funded projects from public or private clients, e.g. DFG or BMBF, as well as support with other tasks of the group, such as the organization of scientific conferences or the preparation of research proposals (e.g. to the DFG or the EU).

A very good Univeristy Science degree (M.Sc. or Diploma) in a relevant scientific university program (e.g. IT security, computer engineering, computer science, electrical engineering, or mathematics) and a good command of English are required.

We offer:

• Team-oriented cooperation in a committed, international, and appreciative team
• Options for mobile working
• Extensive training and further education opportunities
• Workplace in the beautiful city of Darmstadt with lots to offer thanks to the short distance to Wiesbaden, Mainz and Frankfurt

Opportunity for further qualification (doctoral dissertation) is given. The fulfillment of the duties likewise enables the scientific qualifications of the candidate.

Technical University of Darmstadt intends to increase the number of female employees and encourages female candidates to apply. In case of equal qualifications applicants with a degree of disability of at least 50 or equal will be given preference. Part-time employment is generally possible.
