To state the obvious: Such an $n$ must naturally have $p\equiv 1 \pmod{12}$ and $q\equiv 1\pmod{4}$.

Also, it seems The first condition is implied by the fact that, for each $q$ a prime such that$1 + q^2 + q^4 = 0\pmod{p}$, and so, since $q^2\vert (1 + p^2), 1 + q^2 + q^4\equiv \epsilon\pmod{p}$$p\neq 3$, where $p\equiv \epsilon\pmod{4}$$q^6\equiv 1\pmod{p}$ giving that (this holds with$3\vert p-1$, or without$p\equiv 1\pmod{3}$. The second is given by the fact that $p\equiv 1\pmod{4}$ condition$1+p^2\equiv 0\pmod{q}$ gives that $p^2\equiv -1\pmod{q}$, of course). In this caseand so $q\equiv 1\pmod{4}$, we have thatsince $\lceil \sqrt{p}\rceil\leq q< p$$\left(\frac{-1}{q}\right) = 1$.

In thatthis case, though, we see that $q\equiv -1\pmod{p}$, since $p\neq 3$. Thus, we see that $p\leq q+1$. $p^2 + 1\equiv 0\pmod{q^2}$ gives $q^2\leq 1+p^2$. Since $p\neq q$ and both $q+1$ and $q-1$ are even, we see that, first, $p\leq q-2$, so $p^2\leq q^2 - 4q + 4$. Hence, $1+p^2\leq 5-4q + q^2$. Coupled with the second inequality, we seehave that $q\leq \frac{5}{4}$, which is impossible.

Of course, proving that the first claim is the case is the hard part...--if it's even true$\lceil \sqrt{p}\rceil\leq q\leq p$. (Note: I would have commented this all, but I can't for some reason--sorry!)
