United Kingdom - University College London PhD Studentship in Cryptography

Topic: Non-interactive Zero-Knowledge Proofs

Non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs can be used to demonstrate that a statement is true, without revealing anything else. Non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs have numerous security applications. Examples are identification protocols, where a user proves that they know a secret password without revealing the password itself, or internet voting protocols, where a voter demonstrates that they have cast a valid vote without revealing what the vote is.

This project aims at developing non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs with high efficiency and with advanced security properties. Another goal is to apply non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs in new security applications.

Supervisors
Dr Jens Groth
BT Prof. Yvo Desmedt

About the Candidate
The ideal candidate should have a strong background in Computer Science, Mathematics or a related field. Funding is available for UK candidates only, or candidates that can demonstrate a relevant connection to the UK (usually established by being resident for a period of three years immediately before the date of application for an award). In addition, the student must have an EU citizenship to qualify for reduced UCL tuition fees.

About the Position
The PhD will be supervised by Dr Jens Groth and BT Professor Yvo Desmedt of University College London, located at Adastral Park. The position will be funded by EPSRC.

France - French National Institute for Agricultural Research (INRA) Postdoc Position in Statistical Genetics

18 months postdoc position at The Biometry and Artificial Intelligence Unit of INRA (French National Institute for Agricultural Research) in Toulouse, France.

The project, funded by the French Research Agency, aims at incorporating linkage disequilibrium into linkage mapping analysis, in order to fine map QTL. It consists in developing statistical methods using linkage disequilibrium for predicting similarity of genitor alleles in a multiple families design, and developing the necessary software tools.

The aim is to attribute, at every locus of the genome, for the alleles of the genitors in the design,

• a measurement that accurately reflects the identity by descent probability with the ancestral alleles, or
• a probable coalescence tree to enable ancestral alleles to be tracked.

The candidates should have a strong background in statistics and/or genetics. The project will also require a programming skill.
