Hi!  There are several proposals for this:

https://gitweb.torproject.org/torspec.git/tree/proposals/263-ntru-for-pq-handshake.txt
https://gitweb.torproject.org/torspec.git/tree/proposals/269-hybrid-handshake.txt
https://gitweb.torproject.org/torspec.git/tree/proposals/270-newhope-hybrid-handshake.txt

We don't have a current implementation timeline for these.  Step one
in any one of them would be implementing:

https://gitweb.torproject.org/torspec.git/tree/proposals/249-large-create-cells.txt

or something similar such as:
