PostDoc

The Mathematical Quantum Information RIKEN Hakubi Research Team led by Bartosz Regula at RIKEN is recruiting postdoctoral researchers for a period of 2 years. The positions can begin as soon as possible.

The successful candidates will work on the project "Foundations of quantum resources: mathematical theory for the structure and applications of quantum phenomena", which is a broad and open-ended investigation of the mathematical foundations of quantum information, and will offer a large degree of flexibility.

Our main areas of research are: quantum resource theories, theory of entanglement, quantum information and communication theory, convex optimisation problems in quantum information, quantum foundations.

A topic of particular interest is classical and quantum Shannon theory. Candidates with a background and/or strong interest in this area will be prioritised.

What

We offer two postdoctoral research positions in quantum information theory. Depending on seniority, the hire can be at the level of staff scientist. Potential research topics include the following:

• Quantum communications and quantum networking theory.
• Quantum cryptography.
• Quantum error correction, in particular in connection with modular quantum computation.

The compensation is in accordance with the OIST Employee Compensation Regulations and depends on the time since graduation.

Benefits:

We are offering a postdoctoral position to well-qualified, highly motivated, and dynamic young scientists who wish to enhance their scientific career in a stimulating environment.

Project Research Fellow Position at Korea Institute for Advanced Study
[The School of Computational Sciences]

The School of Computational Sciences accepts applications for Project Research Fellow position for the following research field.

- Area: Developing quantum algorithms for simulating open quantum dynamics

The contract period of this position may be adjusted according to the project conditions. The relevant project will end in June 2027. 

There is an opportunity for a short (approximately 8 month) theory postdoc position at the University of Exeter (Exeter, United Kingdom). The start date should be from November 2024 (with January 2025 being the latest start date) and the end date is August 2025.

Looking for a post-doc project at the intersection of semiconductors and quantum technology, in collaboration with several partners across the UK and the EU? We have a position available at Heriot-Watt University (Edinburgh) as part of the newly-funded "Integrated Quantum Networks" hub.

Balint Koczor’s Quantum Information Theory group in the Mathematical Institute of the University of Oxford is looking for a highly motivated and exceptionally talented quantum theorist to lead new projects in the broad context of achieving practical quantum advantage using early quantum computers (noisy and early fault tolerant). The length of the position is fixed term funded by a research grant from the by EPSRC project SEEQA until 31 March 2025 and UKRI FLF Project Theory to Enable Practical Quantum Advantage from 1 April 2025 – 30 June 2027.

Role Description

We will have openings for a PhD and Postdoc positions at the Quantum Algorithmics group at the University of Augsburg. The anticipated starting date is spring 2025.

We are looking for candidates who:

- Enjoy working creatively with numerical methods and heuristic exploration
- Motivation to work on scientific code and software development
- Strong interest in physical concepts and their utilization
- Master's degree/PhD in: Computer Science Physics, Chemistry, or Math (including interdisciplinary programs)
