variational algorithms

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.

NOTE: the first PhD round requires applications to be submitted by 18 April 2021.

Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology (Skoltech) is an English-speaking international graduate only research university, located just outside of Moscow. Established in collaboration with M.I.T., Skoltech integrates the best Russian scientific traditions with Western research practices.

PhD Fellowships are now being offered to work in Skoltech’s Quantum Lab – lead by Prof Jacob Biamonte at the Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology.
