Coding & Cryptography Research Group
Research Fellowships and PhD Scholarships in Coding and Cryptography
The Coding & Cryptography Research Group (CCRG) at Nanyang Technological University (NTU) in Singapore seeks candidates for research fellows and PhD students in coding and cryptography.

  • Several 2-4 years research fellowships (from fresh post-docs to senior research fellows) are available. Applicants with a strong background in one or several areas of coding and cryptography - block codes;  quantum error-correcting codes;  space-time codes; public key cryptography; private key cryptography; hash functions; and secure multiparty computations, are encouraged to send their application letters,  detailed CVs and the names/contact emails of 3 references to ccrg_postdoc@ntu.edu.sg.  A solid background on one of the areas of algebra, combinatorics, number theory, applications of coding and cryptography, efficient implementations, design and analysis of algorithms will be a plus. Salaries are competitive and are determined according to the successful applicants’ accomplishments, experience and qualifications. The positions need to be filled by January, 2010.

NTU is a research-intensive university with globally acknowledged strengths in science and engineering. It provides a high-quality global education to more than 20,000 undergraduates and 8,700 graduate students. As the main science and technology university in Singapore, NTU makes significant contributions to the nation's renewed drive for research and innovation spearheaded by the Singapore National Research Foundation. NTU's main 200-ha residential, garden campus - housing Singapore's largest on-campus residence infrastructure including 16 halls of residence for undergraduates and a graduate hall - is located in the southwestern part of Singapore and will be the Youth Olympic Village of the inaugural Youth Olympic Games in 2010. CCRG at NTU was established in 2007 to advance the theoretical and applied frontiers of coding and cryptography, through an interdisciplinary approach. The group has won significant research funding from the Singapore government.


The Algorithmic Game Theory group at Nanyang Technological University (Singapore) has openings for several research fellows (post-docs) and PhD students.


The successful applicants will work with Dr. Ning Chen and Dr. Edith Elkind.

For a research fellow, a strong background in theoretical computer science, game theory, optimization, or multiagent systems is expected; an existing track record in algorithmic game theory/computational social choice will be a plus. The positions are for 1-3 years.
Salaries are competitive and are determined according to the successful applicants' accomplishments, experience and qualifications. Travel funding is available. The positions are open till they are filled. Interested applicants should send their detailed CVs, research statements, and contact details of at least three referees to Dr. Elkind (eelkind@ntu.edu.sg).

For a PhD student, a good first and/or second degree (B.Sc./M.Sc.) in computer science, mathematics, economics or related subject, as well as some evidence of ability to do research is expected. The successful applicants will receive a stipend, as well as a tuition fee waiver. For more information about our PhD program, please visit http://www.spms.ntu.edu.sg/mas/Graduates/GradProgramOverview.html. The website also contains instructions on how to apply. In addition to submitting a formal application, please send an e-mail to Prof. Elkind, indicating your intention to apply.
Please attach a brief CV.

Nanyang Technological University is a major research university in Singapore, with a strong emphasis on science and technology. The positions are based in the Division of Mathematical Sciences. For more information about the department, please visit http://www.spms.ntu.edu.sg/mas/.
