genannten Gebiete oder einem verwandten Gebiet sowie entsprechende
Ver?ffentlichungen.
Liegt die Voraussetzung (1) vor, wird die M?glichkeit zur Promotion
gegeben und eine Verl?ngerung der Besch?ftigungsdauer ist m?glich. Liegt
(2) vor, so wird erwartet, dass eine weitere wissenschaftliche
Qualifikation angestrebt wird. In beiden F?llen geh?ren allgemeine
organisatorische Aufgaben der Arbeitsgruppe zur T?tigkeit.
Die Christian-Albrechts-Universit?t zu Kiel ist bestrebt, den Anteil von
Wissenschaftlerinnen in Forschung und Lehre zu erh?hen und fordert
deshalb entsprechend qualifizierte Frauen nachdr?cklich auf, sich zu

SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS
Contributions to the conference have to be submitted via Easychair (www.easychair.org), the name of the event there is IC2S2. Each submission consists of an extended abstract of max 2 pages (A4). Please give a sufficiently detailed description of your work, otherwise it will be difficult for the PC to assess its relevance.
Each extended abstract will be reviewed by two PC members. Abstracts can be submitted from September the 15th till November 15th, 2014. We will do out best to have mostly oral presentations of the selected contributions, both plenary and in parallel sessions. However, since we cannot estimate the number of submissions, in case they turn out to be more than expected, we do not exclude having a poster session.
CONTACT
For any question you might have please contact Prof. Santo Fortunato (santo.fortunato@aalto.fi)

Subject: [DMANET] PhD Position in Theoretical Computer Science in
Amsterdam
Message-ID: <54118C96.8040903@uva.nl>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=windows-1252
The Institute for Logic, Language & Computation (ILLC) at the University
of Amsterdam, and the Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica (CWI) are looking
for a PhD candidate in the area of quantum cryptography under the
supervision of Dr. Christian Schaffner.
The aim of the PhD project is to develop new quantum-cryptographic
protocols (beyond the task of key distribution) and explore their
possibilities and limitations. An example of an active research topic is
position-based quantum cryptography. Another aspect is to investigate
the security of classical cryptographic schemes against quantum
adversaries (post-quantum cryptography).
Full-time appointment is on a temporary basis for a period of four
years. For the first two years the PhD candidate will be appointed at
the ILLC, University of Amsterdam, initially for a period of 18 months
and then, on positive evaluation, for a further six months. During the
final two years, the PhD candidate will be employed by the Centrum
Wiskunde and Informatica (CWI). On the basis of a full-time appointment
(38 hours per week), the gross monthly salary amounts to ?2,083 during
the first year, rising to ?2,664 during the fourth year.
Requirements:
* a Master's degree with excellent grades in computer science,
mathematics or physics with outstanding results or a comparable degree;
* candidates with a strong background in cryptography or quantum
information are preferred;
* demonstrated research abilities by completion of an (undergraduate)
research project;
* good academic writing and presentation skills;
* good social and organisational skills.
Preferred starting date is 1 December 2014.
