Research Associate (Quantum Communication Security)

Full time Computer Occupations

We invite applicants to join the centre as a Research Associate (full-time). You will be part of the research team and will work on projects in the area of post-quantum cryptographic migration and cryptographic agility within the QUASAR-CREATE programme, Thrust 3. The work focuses on enabling the secure transition of existing digital infrastructures and systems to quantum-safe cryptographic solutions.

You will conduct research and development in post-quantum security, investigating methods for analyzing cryptographic dependencies, assessing migration readiness, and ensuring secure and reliable transition processes. You will translate research results into practical tools, frameworks, and automated migration pipelines, and implement working prototypes that demonstrate how migration methods and crypto-agile architectures can be applied in real-world systems and infrastructures.

Key Responsibilities:

Conduct research and development on post-quantum cryptog...
