PostDoc

We are pleased to announce that Korea Research Institute of Standards and Science (KRISS) located in Daejeon, South Korea is seeking to fill a theory postdoc position and master/PhD student positions. Our institution keeps searching for a highly motivated, well-qualified, and independent scientist who has a keen interest in theoretical quantum information science, including but not limited to quantum sensing, metrology, computation, algorithm, and simulation.

Photonic computers for quantum and classical information processing

Are you excited about experimentally exploring the crossover from photonic computing to photonic quantum computing in the context of space technology?

We plan to open a position (up to 100 % TV-L E13) at the Chair of
Space Technology at TU Berlin in collaboration with the Physical Foundations of IT Security
Fundamentals of IT Security from January 2025 to December 2026.

The Department of Mathematics at the University of York seeks a postdoctoral researcher to work with Roger Colbeck on the theory of quantum technologies. This is a fixed term position for three years funded by EPSRC’s Integrated Quantum Networks Hub and the appointee will contribute to a work package on quantum protocols. One of the main aims of the post is to investigate the best ways to put device-independent protocols into practice, including quantum random number generation and quantum key distribution, which will involve finding and tuning protocols to real-world conditions.

A postdoctoral position is available in the Quantum Information and Computation group (https://quantique.labri.fr) at the CS department of the University of Bordeaux (France). Applications should be submitted by *January 15* for full consideration.

Postdoctoral Fellowship Recruitment 2025/2026

National Research University Higher School of Economics (HSE University, Russia) is ready to announce the open call for postdoctoral positions for the 2025/2026 academic year!

The Higher School of Economics is a young, dynamic and fast-growing Russian research university. Over the past thirty years, HSE University has become a leader in Russian education and has been recognized internationally.

Several postdoctoral fellowships are available in the direction of machine learning and AI applied to discover novel designs and strategies for quantum computing. In addition, the group investigates more broadly artificial scientific discovery and neuromorphic computing (physics for machine learning). Even though prior experience in machine learning and/or quantum information processing would be considered a plus, above all we value proven creativity and scientific competence demonstrated through prior research work, also in unrelated areas.

Applications are invited for a two-year postdoctoral research position in Curt von Keyserlingk’s group at King’s College London.

About the role
The research will involve the topic of quantum information in many-body systems.

Preference will be given to candidates with experience in analytical approaches to many-body systems and quantum information, and/or with strong track-record in numerical physics (particularly tensor network methods).

This is a full time post (35 hours per week) and will be offered on a fixed term contract for two years.

The Mathematical Quantum Information RIKEN Hakubi Research Team led by Bartosz Regula at RIKEN is recruiting postdoctoral researchers for a period of 2 years. The positions can begin as soon as possible.

The successful candidates will work on the project "Foundations of quantum resources: mathematical theory for the structure and applications of quantum phenomena", which is a broad and open-ended investigation of the mathematical foundations of quantum information, and will offer a large degree of flexibility.

Our main areas of research are: quantum resource theories, theory of entanglement, quantum information and communication theory, convex optimisation problems in quantum information, quantum foundations.

A topic of particular interest is classical and quantum Shannon theory. Candidates with a background and/or strong interest in this area will be prioritised.

What

We offer two postdoctoral research positions in quantum information theory. Depending on seniority, the hire can be at the level of staff scientist. Potential research topics include the following:

• Quantum communications and quantum networking theory.
• Quantum cryptography.
• Quantum error correction, in particular in connection with modular quantum computation.

The compensation is in accordance with the OIST Employee Compensation Regulations and depends on the time since graduation.

Benefits:

We are offering a postdoctoral position to well-qualified, highly motivated, and dynamic young scientists who wish to enhance their scientific career in a stimulating environment.
