<p><span>The Science, Engineering, and Technology Group of KU Leuven
invites applications for a</span><strong><span> </span>full time
research professorship</strong><span> in the research unit
Numerical Analysis and Applied Mathematics (NUMA). The research
in NUMA covers many aspects of computational mathematics,
including approximation theory, numerical integration, numerical
(multi-) linear algebra, numerical partial differential
equations, uncertainty quantification, optimization and control,
discrete optimization and scheduling, and high-performance
computing. The research unit also performs research in
collaboration with industry. The new position aims to strengthen
the experience of NUMA, in the domain of quantum computing.</span><br>
<br>
<span>Quantum computing is a novel computing paradigm relying on
fundamental properties of quantum physics. It features new core
building blocks that can lead to exponential speedups relative
to traditional computing. This requires a fundamental shift in
the design of numerical algorithms and their optimized mapping
to available quantum circuits. Candidates are expected to have
already obtained excellent research results within the research
field of design, analysis, development, and implementation of
new quantum algorithms for numerical computing.</span><br>
<br>
<span>The successful candidate is expected to develop a research
program on numerical methods for quantum computing, ensure
high-quality education within the area of mathematical
engineering, and be prepared to provide scientific and
administrative services.</span><br>
<br>
<span>For further details, contact information and the application
procedure (deadline September 14, 2023), follow the link:</span><br>
