Fellowship

Quantum Software Lab at the University of Edinburgh is hiring for five Tenure-Track Positions!

Build the next generation of quantum many-body simulation methods!

We are seeking a postdoctoral researcher to work on strongly correlated fermionic systems with long-range interactions, within the group of Dr. Paolo Molignini at Stockholm University.

The project centers on developing AETHER, a novel computational framework for simulating long-range interacting quantum systems in experimentally relevant regimes (dipolar gases, cavity QED), combining adaptive many-body methods, machine learning, and high-performance computing.

We are seeking Senior Researchers in Fault-Tolerant Quantum Computing to contribute to the development of key components of the fault-tolerant stack. These roles focus on decoders and quantum algorithms at the logical level, addressing how quantum information can be processed reliably in large-scale, error-corrected systems.

The School of Applied Mathematics (MIEM, HSE University), Moscow, Russia, invites applications for the postdoctoral position in mathematical methods for quantum Information and quantum Control. The position involves working under the direct supervision of Professor Elena R. Loubenets

In robotics, many perception and control challenges are formulated as the optimization of complex, non-linear cost functions. A fundamental example is the estimation of a camera’s position and orientation from known correspondences between 3D points in the environment and their 2D projections on the image plane. This problem, known as the Perspective-n-Point (PnP) problem, is central to several key robotic applications, including localization, 3D reconstruction, and autonomous navigation.

We are offering 10 PhD (for 3 years) or PostDoc positions (for 2 years) and 2 independent Center Postdoctoral Fellow positions (for 3 years) at the newly established Center for Quantum Technologies (QuTe) at Saarland University with a focus on Physics, Computer Science or Mathematics.

Within the next few months, a new Center for Quantum Technologies (QuTe) will be founded at Saarland University. This Center pursues research on quantum technologies in a broad sense, on the „hardware“ side (in quantum physics, quantum optics and quantum engineering) as well as on the „software“ side (in quantum information, theoretical physics / computer science / mathematics and quantum computing).

The PhD candidates will have a Master’s degree in Physics, Computer Science or Mathematics and they are interested in doing a PhD project with one of the following group leaders at QuTe: Prof. Christoph Becher (Experimental Physics, Quantum Optics),Prof. Markus Bläser (Theoretical Computer Science, Complexity Theory), Prof. Jonas Haferkamp (Mathematics, Quantum Information Theory), Prof. Giovanna Morigi (Theoretical Quantum Physics), Prof. Peter P. Orth (Theoretical Condensed Matter Physics, Quantum Computing), Prof. Moritz Weber (Mathematics, Quantum Symmetries), Prof. Frank Wilhelm-Mauch (Theoretical Physics, Quantum Computing).

The PostDoc candidates will have a PhD in Physics, Computer Science or Mathematics, with a PhD project relevant to the QuTe research areas, such as quantum computing, quantum information, quantum algorithms, quantum optics, quantum physics, complexity theory or quantum mathematics, amongst others.

The candidates for the Center Postdoctoral Fellow positions hold a PhD and they have an excellent and publication research record in Quantum Technologies in a broad sense, for instance in Physics, Computer Science, Mathematics or Systems Engineering or in related fields. They are willing to work interdisciplinary. The Center Fellows are employed directly at QuTe and they will receive support in building their own research group, including the acquisition of third-party funding. Collaborations with the above mentioned group leaders and with the Forschungszentrum Jülich is encouraged.

We look forward to receiving your meaningful online application by 16.12.2025 to bewerbung@uni-saarland.de. Please include the reference number W2741 in the subject line of the e-mail.

• A letter of application, which should be addressed to the group leaders of the Center for Quantum Technologies and which should include your private address, phone number and email,
• For PhD candidates, your CV/résumé including details of study program and electronic copies of your certificates,
• Additionally for PostDoc and Center Fellow candidates, details of your PhD project and your subsequent research, your teaching experience (if applicable), a complete list of publications highlighting your three most relevant publications regarding your planned research at QuTe, a statement of your scientific experience/interests and of your previous and planned research, and your record in acquiring third-party funding,
• A statement of motivation for doing a PhD/PostDoc at QuTe, for the Center Fellows a statement sketching your
  vision of interdisciplinarity at QuTe and for pushing forward quantum technologies in general.

If you have any questions, please contact the group leaders of QuTe directly or Prof. Moritz Weber (email: weber@math.uni-sb.de) for general questions on the planned Center for Quantum Technologies (QuTe).
