PhD Positions on Trustworthy Electronic Elections

(for more information see  http://www.demtech.dk/)

The IT University of Copenhagen invites applications for several PhD positions 
on developing and evaluating trustworthy electronic election technology.   With 
this project, we try to prove that it is possible to modernize the democratic 
process using information technology without losing the trust of the voters.   
The PhD positions are concerned with different aspects of this research 
question, for example, how to design formal techniques to hold machines 
accountable for their actions, to run trusted code in untrusted environments, 
to develop software in a trust-preserving way, and to evaluate technology form 
a societal point of view.   

Applicants should have a strong background in some combination of the following 
areas in computer science: cryptography, concurrency, epistemic logics, formal 
methods, modal logics, proof assistants, logical frameworks, requirement 
engineering, security protocol design, software engineering, theorem proving, 
type theory.  Successful PhD applicants will want work with epistemic logics 
and logical frameworks, epistemic logics and cryptography, or with formal trust 
preserving software engineering techniques.

To apply, please visit the project homepage  http://www.demtech.dk/. Early 
expressions of interest are encouraged: Carsten Schuermann ([email protected]), 
Joseph Kiniry ([email protected]), Randi Markussen ([email protected]), Christopher Gad 
([email protected]), or nina Boulus ([email protected]).  

Best regards,
-- Carsten Schuermann and Joseph Kiniry
