Opportunity to Pursue Advanced Research in Quantum Cryptography

We are seeking highly motivated and talented individuals to undertake a four-year research training program focusing on applied research that benefits industry by solving real-world challenges.

The Clinical Supervision and Techniques for Enabling Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) Migration project aims to develop techniques for the migration to post-quantum cryptography (PQC) to secure critical infrastructure from quantum attacks. The expected outcome is the design of methods, techniques and their prototype to implement trusted PQC migration. This has the potential benefit of enhancing the security of Australian critical infrastructures against quantum attacks.

To be successful, candidates must have a strong security background in cryptography, mathematics, information security, or a related field. They will also receive supervision from participating university, CSIRO, and an industry partner. A scholarship package totalling approximately $47,000 per annum tax exempt and a Project Expense and Development package of $13,000 per annum will be provided.

Please note that this opportunity is limited to applicants who are legally entitled to work in Australia on a permanent basis. Candidates should be prepared to commence the program in the year of the offer and enrol as a full-time PhD student. Part-time arrangements may be considered if approved by the supervisory team and in accordance with university policy.

Applicants should submit a cover letter explaining their suitability for and interest in the topic, along with a curriculum vitae, academic transcripts and contact details of two academic referees. Relevant skills include:

  • Cryptography
  • Mathematics
  • Information Security
