The Postdoctoral Research Scientist, powered by the Mastercard Center for Inclusive Growth, will work on new methods for scalable and privacy-respecting digital identity systems. These systems will provide digital identities suitable for low-infrastructure environments, used to facilitate access to resources such as medical care, education and food assistance. These highly secure systems will provide unprecedented new levels of resistance to identity theft.

The researcher selected for this position will be co-mentored by Professor Henning Schulzrinne and will also have opportunities to work with other faculty mentors affiliated with DSI.
