Subject: 	[DMANET] PhD and postdoc-level positions in quantum and 
classical algorithms for optimization
Date: 	Wed, 15 Sep 2021 18:35:47 +0200
From: 	Sandor Fekete <s.fekete at tu-bs.de>
To: 	dmanet at zpr.uni-koeln.de



Many expect Quantum Computing to provide crucial breakthroughs for a 
wide spectrum of challenges; but making progress will require close 
cooperation of outstanding talent from Quantum Information Theory, 
Computer Science, Theoretical Physics, Mathematics and Artificial 
Intelligence.

* Do you have an excellent background in any one of these fields?
* Are you interested in learning even more about the others, while 
working on interdisciplinary projects?

* Are you motivated by working closely and interactively with colleagues 
and senior experts from different areas?

* Do you want to work on cutting-edge problems that can have a 
significant impact?

Then you should consider getting in touch with us!

We are an interdisciplinary group of academic and industrial experts 
from the mentioned fields, located in Germany (Braunschweig, Hannover, 
Cologne, Bochum) and Austria (Linz). We have successfully formed a 
consortium that aims at putting “Computing” into “Quantum Computing”, in 
the course of two related projects. In the project QuBRA, we will 
evaluate quantum algorithms against best-in-class classical optimization 
methods and identify the quantum advantage regime. In ProvideQ, we will 
develop new methods for embedding novel quantum algorithms into 
frameworks of classical optimization.
Our goal is to recruit a closely-knit multidisciplinary team of up to 20 
researchers across physics, mathematics, and computer science for at 
least three years from 2022. We value creativity, mathematical rigor, 
and openness to interdisciplinary collaborations.
Positions to be filled include:

• Machine learning (CS) at the Leibniz Universität Hannover, advised by 
Avishek Anand
• Algorithm Engineering (CS) at TU Braunschweig, advised by Sándor Fekete
• Quantum Algorithms (Physics) at University of Cologne, advised by 
David Gross
• Quantum Algorithms and Artificial Intelligence (Computer Science) at 
JKU Linz, advised by Richard Kueng
• Quantum Algorithms (Physics) at the Leibniz Universität Hannover, 
advised by Tobias J. Osborne
• Quantum Software Engineering (CS), advised by Ina Schaefer
• Quantum Algorithms and Optimization Under Uncertainty (Mathematics) at 
TU Braunschweig, advised by Sebastian Stiller
• Quantum Algorithms and Quantum Software Engineering (Mathematics/CS) 
at Ruhr-Universität Bochum, advised by Michael Walter

Candidates should send a CV including certificates and a list of 
publications to wiebke.moeller at itp.uni-hannover.de 
<mailto:wiebke.moeller at itp.uni-hannover.de>, putting “quantum positions” 
in the subject line. In your application, indicate your preferences of 
which advisor to work with. Please also include electronic contact 
details of two referees. Deadline is October 15th. Later applications 
will be considered in case the positions will not have been filled.

The salary is based on the German TV-L E13 pay scale. Applications from 
candidates with diverse backgrounds are strongly encouraged.
