Academic staff
Job advertisements should be posted by the respective institutions themselves. This requires employee rights in the portal. This is automatically the case for all employees listed in TUMonline.
Please provide a meaningful job title, a description, and comma-separated keywords for all advertisements. The title “research assistant” is not useful , as it does not indicate the specific field or task involved.
Instructions can be found in the quick guide for job advertisements (german) and (in more detail) in the Best Practice Manual for Job Advertisements (german) (pdf).

Research Associate / PhD Student (m/f/d) in Information Theory of Secure Sensing and Coordination
For applications in networks of robots and unmanned aerial vehicles, reliable coordination is essential. Such systems are particularly vulnerable to jamming and eavesdropping, thus endangering security and stability of communication. At the same time, the strict latency and security requirements can no longer be satisfied with classical cryptographic protocols, especially with regard to future threats due to quantum computers.
