Security Engineering

We offer two PhD scholarships in the area of Privacy by Design.

The Center for Advanced Security Research Darmstadt (CASED) at the Technische Universität Darmstadt has openings for its PhD scholarship program in the areas of IT Security starting immediately. CASED is an IT Security research center at Technische Universität Darmstadt in cooperation with the Fraunhofer Institute for Secure Information Technology (SIT) and the University of Applied Sciences Darmstadt (h_da). 

CASED offers an attractive, international, English speaking environment in one of the most interesting metropolitan areas in Germany surrounded by beautiful countryside. The Frank-furt Airport is just 30 km away. CASED students and scientists come from all over the world. PhD students will become members of the CASED graduate school, which supports them during their entire PhD research, for instance through professional courses for transferable skills such as trainings in delivering scientific presentations or writing scientific papers.

CASED hosts a 3 year doctoral program for outstanding students holding a Master's degree (or German Diploma or equivalent) in Computer Science, Mathematics, Physics, Electrical Engineering, Economics, Industrial Engineering, Information Systems, and Law or related dis-ciplines. After successful completion of their degree, doctoral candidates will be awarded their degree from the Technische Universität Darmstadt.

This prestigious program offers scholarships to exceptional students who have the potential to make outstanding contributions to science, in the following areas of IT Security: Cryptog-raphy, privacy and trust, security for cyberphysical systems and networks, security of critical infrastructures, usability and security, security and privacy by design, economic and legal as-pects of IT-security.

In particular, the Security Engineering group headed by Prof. Katzenbeisser is looking for outstanding master students in their final year who are interested in pursuing a PhD in the areas of data protection, cloud security or privacy.
