To: dmanet at zpr.uni-koeln.de <dmanet at zpr.uni-koeln.de>


Applications from outstanding candidates are invited for a postdoctoral 
fellowship in quantum algorithms and optimization at the University of 
Lethbridge. The research explores applications of quantum algorithms in 
blockchain systems and genomics data analysis. The position is for one 
year, but may be extended for up to three years, subject to the 
availability of funds. The position is available immediately. Salary: 
50,000 CAD per year.

The fellow will join the Optimization Research Group at the University 
of Lethbridge and will work closely with its members, members of the RNA 
Genomics Lab (Southern Alberta Genome Sciences Centre) led by Dr. Athan 
Zovoilis, and colleagues from the universities of Alberta and Calgary 
who are part of the Quantum Alberta research network. The Optimization 
Research Group consists of three faculty (Drs Shahadat Hossain, Daya 
Gaur, and Robert Benkoczi) and several graduate students at the masters 
and PhD level whose research areas include quantum computing, 
telecommunication, transportation and logistics, scientific computation, 
and bioinformatics. The group members work in a relaxed and collegial 
atmosphere and maintain strong research collaborations within the group, 
across Canada and internationally.

Applicants should have a track record of research in Quantum Computing 
and a PhD degree in Computer Science, Physics, or a related field. 
Programming experience is a plus. Proof of degree completion must be 
provided prior to the start date of the fellowship.

To apply, please submit a letter of intention, a CV, a research 
statement, the contact information for three referees, and a sample of 
your publications, to the e-mail address below. Please use the subject 
"PDF application" in your e-mail.  Applications are accepted until the 
position is filled.

Lethbridge is located in Southern Alberta, Canada, close to the border 
with the province of British Columbia and the state of Montana. It is 
only 1.5 hours drive from the Rockies and the Waterton Lakes National 
Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site, and less than 2 hours drive from 
Calgary.
