全职 Research Associate (Quantum Communication Security) 工作, 薪水 up to SGD 4,000, NANYANG TECHNOLOGICAL UNIVERSITY West Region (Singapore) 公司招聘中 - Ricebowl

The Fraunhofer Singapore Research Centre FSR@NTU, belongs to the independent research centre at Nanyang Technological University (NTU). Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft (*************) is one of the world’s leading applied research organizations with around 30,800 employees, predominantly scientists and engineers in Germany. In Singapore, Fraunhofer operates two independent but closely related and cooperative organizations: Fraunhofer-NTU Centre FSR@NTU and Fraunhofer Singapore Research Ltd. Fraunhofer Singapore Research Ltd is the 1st affiliate of the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft in Asia. Both entities are legally independent entities working in close collaboration in joint facilities.

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 cryptographic migration and cryptographic agility in complex systems and infrastructures

• Design, implement, and evaluate tools, frameworks, and migration pipelines enabling the transition to quantum-safe cryptography

• Analyse software and system architectures with respect to cryptographic dependencies, migration readiness, and transition risks

• Develop and demonstrate proof-of-concept prototypes and migration frameworks in collaboration with project partners

• Contribute to the design and implementation of migration analysis platforms and supporting tool-chains

• Prepare technical reports, scientific publications, and project documentation

Job Requirements:

• MSc/MEng in Computer Science, Cybersecurity, Information Security, Software Engineering, or a closely related field

• Strong foundation in applied cryptography, computer security, and secure system design

• Understanding of post-quantum cryptography and cryptographic agility concepts is required

• Experience or strong interest in cryptographic migration, secure software development, or security of complex distributed systems

• Good understanding of classical cryptographic protocols, cryptographic libraries, and secure communication systems

• Experience in programming (e.g., Python, C/C++, Rust, Go, or similar) and developing security-related tools or prototypes

• Experience with software architecture analysis, system security evaluation, or migration of software/infrastructure systems is preferred

• Ability to work independently and to develop solutions under strict timelines is a must.

• Good communication skills and some interdisciplinary interest is desired, to be able to interact with researchers at the Centre.
