He holds the Berthold Badler Chair in Computer Science at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and is a member of the scientific council of the European Research Council.<ref>[http://www.cs.huji.ac.il/~dolev/ Faculty web page], Hebrew University, retrieved 2012-02-18.</ref><ref>[http://erc.europa.eu/sites/default/files/content/members_organisation/erc_scientific_council_members.pdf Scientific Council members], European Research Council, retrieved 2012-02-18.</ref><ref name="jp">{{citation|url=https://www.jpost.com/LandedPages/PrintArticle.aspx?id=207573|title=First Israeli appointed to European Scientific Council: Hebrew U. professor Danny Dolev, a leading computer scientist and engineer, has been named one of seven new members|journal=The Jerusalem Post|date=February 10, 2011|first=Judy|last=Siegel-Itzkovich}}.</ref>

==Biography== Dolev did his undergraduate studies at the Hebrew University, earning a bachelor's degree in 1971. He then moved to the Weizmann Institute of Science, earning a master's degree in 1973 and a doctorate in 1979 under the supervision of Eli Shamir.<ref>[http://www.cs.huji.ac.il/~dolev/dd-education.html Education] from Dolev's web site at the Hebrew University, retrieved 2012-02-18.</ref><ref>{{mathgenealogy|id=19326|name=Danny Dolev}}.</ref> After postdoctoral research at Stanford University and IBM Research, he joined the Hebrew University faculty in 1982. He took a second position at the IBM Almaden Research Center from 1987 to 1993, but retained his appointment at the Hebrew University. From 1998 to 2002, he was chair of the Institute of Computer Science and then Director of the School of Engineering and Computer Science at the Hebrew University.<ref>[http://www.cs.huji.ac.il/~dolev/dd-employment.html Employment history] from Dolev's web site at the Hebrew University, retrieved 2012-02-18.</ref> In 2011, he became the first Israeli on the Scientific Council of the European Research Council.<ref name="jp"/>
