Canberra, Australia Australian National University Full time

**Classification**: Level B
**Salary package**: $103,841 - $ 117,736 per annum plus 17% superannuation
**Term**: Full time, Fixed Term (up to 2 years) (Part-time arrangements will be considered)

**Position overview**

The successful applicant will work actively with an international and ANU team on the design, analysis, prototyping and testing of a system to allow citizens to vote on paper in remote (but semi-trusted) settings such as overseas embassies or military bases. We aim to produce a practical, usable system that allows for genuine verification - both by voters that their vote has been properly included, and by election observers that the included votes are properly recorded. Cryptographic methods for end-to-end verifiable elections, and statistical methods for risk-limiting audits, will be highly relevant - applicants with existing knowledge in either area are particularly encouraged to apply. Applicants with a strong research track record in cryptographic protocol design or analysis are also welcome.

The position will require implementing a significant amount of prototype code, to test the usability and feasibility of proposed designs. All of this will be released under open-source licenses.

The ANU provides attractive benefits and excellent support to maintain a healthy work/life balance and offers generous remuneration benefits, including four weeks paid vacation per year, assistance with relocation expenses and 17% employer contribution to superannuation. This also includes generous parental leave, the possibility of flexible and part time working arrangements, a parental and aged care support program, dual career hire programs, ANU school holiday programs, and childcare facilities on campus.

**College overview**

The Australian National University (ANU) College of Engineering and Computer Science (CECS) is a vibrant and diverse community of more than three thousand students, staff, and visitors. Our College is comprised of three schools: the School of Computing, School of Cybernetics, and School of Engineering, supported by the Professional Services Group. We aim to bring together expertise in social, technical, ecological and scientific systems to build a new approach. In the College, we draw on our disciplinary foundations to find and solve problems of global importance. Our people build on our traditional world-class expertise and take it in creative, unconventional directions. Through the Reimagine investment, we have the privilege and the responsibility to build a new legacy for the University, the country, and even the world. We will deliver on our mission by building a strong community, providing transformative educational experiences, conducting high-impact research, seeking meaningful engagement, and becoming a resilient organisation post COVID-19. Join us in shaping a new intellectual agenda to reimagine engineering, computing, and the use of technology in the world.

The School of Computing has a strong foundation in computing and information sciences at ANU. We are a transformative centre for research in artificial intelligence and machine learning, computer systems and software, and theoretical foundations of computing. We span traditional and modern thinking, connecting decades of computer science methodologies with modern data and computational science. Our mission is motivated by the need to design, drive and sustain strategic activities via five broad focus areas: Computing Foundations, Computational Science, Intelligent Systems, Data Science and Analytics, and the Software Innovation Institute. Be part of an innovative and forward-looking intellectual agenda, built on a diverse, inclusive culture.
