quantum chemistry

We will have openings for a PhD and Postdoc positions at the Quantum Algorithmics group at the University of Augsburg. The anticipated starting date is spring 2025.

We are looking for candidates who:

- Enjoy working creatively with numerical methods and heuristic exploration
- Motivation to work on scientific code and software development
- Strong interest in physical concepts and their utilization
- Master's degree/PhD in: Computer Science Physics, Chemistry, or Math (including interdisciplinary programs)

We have openings to contribute to a variety of activities centred on trapped-ion systems with focus on developing new programmable quantum algorithms for the simulations of chemical dynamics, exploring advanced quantum control techniques for qudit- and bosonic-based quantum computations, and the development of novel quantum metrology protocols for sensing and the tests of fundamental physics.

part-time employment is may be possible

Faculty II – Mathematics and Natural Sciences - Institute of Theoretical Physics
Reference number: II-282/23 (starting at the earliest possible / limited until 30.11.2026 / closing date for applications 26/05/23)

Tasks

Research on quantum algorithms for applications in quantum chemistry within the project "ATIQ: Trapped-Ion Quantum Computer for Applications – Quantum Gate Co-design for Quantum Chemistry Applications" funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF).

Requirements

The theoretical division of Quantum Algorithms, directed by Prof. Leandro Aolita, at the Quantum Research Centre (QRC) of the Technology Innovation Institute (TII) in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, is seeking highly talented and motivated experienced researchers to fill a vacancy of lead scientist. This is an intermediate position between postdoctoral researcher and director.

The Technology Innovation Institute (TII) in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, is a newly-established, top-funding state initiative that aims at becoming a major international hub for Science & Technology (https://www.tii.ae/). The Quantum Research Centre (QRC) at TII has recently launched world-class theoretical and experimental research groups on different quantum technologies (https://quantum.tii.ae/about-us-quantum).
