[Job-offers-cs] 2-year Postdoc Quantum Error Correction and Quantum Graph Theory at TU Eindhoven

[Pekka Orponen]

SHORT DESCRIPTION
Research on quantum technologies is set to revolutionize several aspects of
our life, including how we process information. In the Department of
Mathematics and Computer Science at Eindhoven University of Technology
(TU/e), the Netherlands, there is a vacancy for a 2 year postdoctoral
position on the topics of quantum error correction, quantum graph theory,
and quantum information theory. The vacancy will remain open until the
position is filled.

JOB DESCRIPTION
This postdoc position is jointly supervised by Alberto Ravagnani 
(https://a.ravagnani.win.tue.nl/) and Aida Abiad 
(https://aidaabiad.win.tue.nl/) and it is funded by the Eindhoven 
Hendrik Casimir Institute for quantum technologies. The position is 
hosted by the Mathematical Communication Theory group 
(https://mct.win.tue.nl/). You will have the opportunity to contribute 
to and shape research directions at the crossroad of quantum information 
theory, quantum graph theory, and quantum error correction. You will 
bridge the Algebraic Combinatorics 
(https://www.tue.nl/en/research/research-groups/algebraic-combinatorics) 
and the Mathematical Communication Theory groups 
(https://www.tue.nl/en/research/research-groups/mathematics/discrete-mathematics/mathematical-communication-theory) 
establishing and leading new interdisciplinary collaborations. You will 
bridge the Mathematical Communication Theory group and the Eindhoven 
Hendrik Casimir Institute.

JOB REQUIREMENTS
• You have a PhD in Mathematics or related disciplines.
• Familiarity with coding theory and graph theory. Ideally, familiarity 
with quantum information theory and/or quantum graph theory.
• Ability to conduct high quality academic research, reflected in 
demonstratable outputs.
• A team player who enjoys coaching Master's students and working in a 
dynamic, interdisciplinary team.
• Ability to take the lead and take initiative in research collaborations.
• A proven ability to manage complex projects to completion on schedule.

• Full-time employment for 2 years.
• Salary in accordance with the Collective Labour Agreement for Dutch 
Universities.
• A year-end bonus of 8.3% and annual vacation pay of 8%.
• High-quality training programs on general skills, didactics and topics 
related to research and valorization.
• An excellent technical infrastructure, on-campus children's day care 
and sports facilities.
• Partially paid parental leave and an allowance for commuting, working 
from home and internet costs.
• A TU/e Postdoc Association that helps you to build a stronger and 
broader academic and personal network, and offers tailored support, 
training and workshops.
• A Staff Immigration Team is available for international candidates, as 
are a tax compensation scheme (the 30% facility) and a compensation for 
moving expenses.
