Stillingsbeskrivelse
NTNU - Norwegian University of Science and Technology is seeking a PhD Candidate to join the Department of Information Security and Communication Technology in Trondheim. This four-year position focuses on the design, implementation, and analysis of privacy-preserving protocols for digital identity wallets, such as the EU Digital Identity (EUDI) Wallet.
About the role
As a PhD Candidate, you will conduct high-quality research within the project Cryptology and social life: Sovereignty, security and society meet digital wallets. Your work will explore how cryptographic tools like zero-knowledge proofs and anonymous credentials can provide selective disclosure, pseudonymity, and unlinkability. You will balance strong privacy guarantees with security and usability requirements, evaluating solutions through both security analysis and user studies.

- Strong academic background with an average grade of B or better (NTNU scale).
- Excellent oral and written communication skills in English.
- Ability to work independently and contribute to a cross-disciplinary research environment.
- Documented experience with applied cryptography or privacy-enhancing technologies is preferred.
- Programming skills and experience with cryptographic protocols are considered an advantage.
The position offers a competitive salary, career guidance, and an inclusive international research environment. The planned start date is August 2027.

Ferdighetene avgjør hvor mange stillinger du i det hele tatt kan søke på. Søylene viser hvor mange stillinger som er lyst ut de siste 90 dagene for hver enkelt ferdighet i denne annonsen — ikke bare her, men på hele Autosøk. De lengste søylene er ferdighetene arbeidsmarkedet etterspør bredest, og de er verdt å løfte fram øverst i CV-en og søknaden. De korteste er nisjeferdigheter: de gir færre treff, men også færre konkurrenter når de først etterspørres.
Én ferdighet med lav etterspørsel betyr ikke at annonsen er smal — den kan være det som skiller deg fra de andre søkerne.
