Postdoctoral researcher

We are hiring two postdoctoral researchers at Boston University to work at the intersection of systems and applied cryptography.
About the role.We are building secure and scalable computing infrastructure using secure multiparty computation (MPC), fully homomorphic encryption (FHE), and trusted execution environments (TEEs).

This NSF-funded project (https://www.nsf.gov/awardsearch/show-award/?AWD_ID=2613424) builds upon years of research by the PIs, and we already have an exciting set of real use cases from stakeholders eager to adopt the system.
The positions are initially offered for 1 year, with possibility of renewal for 1 additional year. The start date can be September 2026, January 2027, or September 2027.
