PhD and postdoc-level positions in quantum and classical
algorithms for optimization<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
Do you have an excellent background in any one of these fields? <br>
Are you interested in learning even more about the others, while
working on interdisciplinary projects?<br>
<br>
Are you motivated by working closely and interactively with
colleagues and senior experts from different areas?<br>
<br>
Do you want to work on cutting-edge problems that can have a
significant impact?<br>
<br>
Then you should consider getting in touch with us!<br>
<br>
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. <br>
Our goal is to recruit a closely-knit multidisciplinary team of up
to 20 researchers across physics, mathematics, and computer
science for three years from 2022. We value creativity,
mathematical rigor, and openness to interdisciplinary
collaborations. <br>
Positions to be filled include:<br>
<br>
Machine learning (CS) at the Leibniz Universität Hannover, advised
by Avishek Anand<br>
Algorithm Engineering (CS) at TU Braunschweig, advised by Sándor
Fekete<br>
Quantum Algorithms (Physics) at University of Cologne, advised by
David Gross<br>
Quantum Algorithms and Artificial Intelligence (Computer Science)
at JKU Linz, advised by Richard Kueng<br>
Quantum Algorithms (Physics) at the Leibniz Universität Hannover,
advised by Tobias J. Osborne<br>
Quantum Software Engineering (CS), advised by Ina Schaefer<br>
Quantum Algorithms and Optimization Under Uncertainty
(Mathematics) at TU Braunschweig, advised by Sebastian Stiller<br>
Quantum Algorithms and Quantum Software Engineering
(Mathematics/CS) at Ruhr-Universität Boch<br>
um, advised by Michael Walter<br>
<br>
<br>
Candidates should send a CV including certificates and a list of
publications to <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:wiebke.moeller@itp.uni-hannover.de">wiebke.moeller@itp.uni-hannover.de</a>
<a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="mailto:wiebke.moeller@itp.uni-hannover.de"><mailto:wiebke.moeller@itp.uni-hannover.de></a>, 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.<br>
<br>
The salary is based on the German TV-L E13 pay scale. Applications
from candidates with diverse backgrounds are strongly encouraged.<br>
