Maths and Cryptography Roles Registration of Interest
 
GCHQ is offering an exciting opportunity to specialise in Maths and Cryptography tackling unique, complex and ever-changing problems and applying mathematical thinking to protect the UK.  

Our mathematicians work collaboratively in multiskilled teams to solve varied and interesting problems, using analytical skills and a broad range of mathematical approaches, including, but not limited to, algebra, probability, number theory, statistics and optimisation. Supported by mentors you’ll soon be specialising in maths and cryptography, producing innovative technical capabilities, often using some of Europe’s most powerful computers to deliver world-class knowledge and expertise, and influence decisions made by government agencies. You’ll work in areas including cryptography and cryptanalysis, network exploitation, cyber security, data science, machine learning, mathematical modelling and many more.

The role will be based in Cheltenham. We welcome applications from candidates who have or expect to obtain shortly, at least a 2:2 degree or higher that has significant mathematical content including (but not limited to) mathematics, computer science, statistics and physics. An interest in technology and / or experience in programming is desirable but not essential. All new recruits will have access to substantial training.  For all positions, we are looking for candidates who demonstrate mathematical curiosity, an enthusiasm for problem solving and a willingness to learn new skills.
