PhD student position on blockchain technologies, Stirling (Scotland)

A fully funded PhD studentship on Blockchain Technologies and Applications is available at the Computing Science and Mathematics division of the University of Stirling, UK.

The project aims to develop a suitable framework to support the development of reliable and trustable blockchain-based decentralised applications - which currently present interesting and challenging research questions, including aspects of distributed consensus, proof-of-Xs and the "crypto-economics" of incentives, security and privacy. The project can be adapted to the latest developments in the technology, as well as specific interests or expertise of the student. The project will be carried out under the supervision of Dr. Andrea Bracciali, within an international network with expertise including verification, game theory, and cryptography.
