PostDoc

We are pleased to announce the Quantum Center Research Fellowship program, which funds PhD students and postdocs hosted by research groups of the Quantum Center, ETH Zurich.

The fellowship supports innovative and original scientific research that fits well into the context of the host group while fostering the independence of the fellow. The next application deadline is February 20, 2024.

A two-year position on the development of quantum computing methods for molecular electronic structure is available at the Politecnico di Milano (Milan, Italy). The position is funded by an Innovation Grant of the National Centre for HPC, Big Data and Quantum Computing. The research is in collaboration with ENI SpA and is devoted to calculation of molecular potential energy surfaces using compact wavefunctions, suitable for current NISQ devices.

Applications are invited for the position of a 2-year Research Fellow on the Fault Tolerant Quantum Simulation project at the University of Portsmouth. The main project will involve the development of quantum simulation in the first- and second-quantised systems.

2 years Post-doctoral position in:

Quantum Computing Applications in Chemistry and Materials Science

The postdoctoral researcher, appointed for 2 years, will be responsible for developing new algorithms for the design and optimization of variational wavefunctions that can be implemented on NISQ (Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum) computers, using methods such as the Variational Quantum Eigensolver. The candidate should hold a PhD in Physics, Chemistry, Computer Science or related topics.

I am happy to announce the opening of a 18-month postdoc position (extendable) in Theoretical Physics of Matter at the Physics Department of the University of Florence, in the group of Prof. Leonardo Banchi. The position is funded by the PRIN project “Understanding the learning process of quantum neural networks”, in collaboration with Giacomo De Palma (University of Bologna, Mathematics Department) and Dario Trevisan (University of Pisa, Mathematics Department).

Deadline: 21st January 2024

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. 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.

I am recruiting one PostDoc in my group at Inria Saclay, Ecole Polytechnique near Paris. PhD and master thesis candidates are also welcome to apply. As part of a new dynamic INRIA Team located in Saclay, you will have the possibility to collaborate with other quantum information researchers in Paris area and abroad.

POST-DOCTORAL POSITION
We are looking for two talented and highly skilled postdoctoral researchers to work on signal processing on quantum-enhanced sensors and validate the same with experimental data in the Classical and Quantum Signal Processing (CAQ-SP) Group at Carleton University led by Prof. Sreeraman Rajan.
The research will be focused on:
• Quantum-enhanced radar and lidar performance prediction
• Signal processing for quantum sensors
• Classical and quantum machine learning for detection and identification

A qualified post doctoral researcher to work on quantum distributed computing for information processing and networking with application to the next generations of telecommunication systems and networks..

The Light-Matter Interactions for Quantum Technologies Unit (https://groups.oist.jp/light), headed by Prof. Sile Nic Chormaic and located at OIST Graduate University, invites applications for a postdoc or staff scientist to work on an existing experimental setup on cold Rydberg atoms and optical nanofibres. The position is for a start around mid-2024. For those with significant experience post PhD, the appointment may be at staff scientist level (fixed duration).
