Postdoctoral Position: Algorithms for Distributed Quantum Computers with IonQ and UofT.
For a joint Mitacs-sponsored research project between IonQ Canada and the University of Toronto, we are looking for postdoctoral fellows with demonstrated experience in one or more of the following areas: quantum computing, distributed computing, quantum algorithms, and/or quantum simulations. The project will involve the development of quantum algorithms for distributed quantum computers and the development of methods to simulate these algorithms. The work will be conducted on-site at IonQ's Toronto office and the University of Toronto's Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering; candidates will also be affiliated with the NSERC-sponsored Quantum Software Consortium (https://qscc.ca).
Candidates should have a Ph.D. in a relevant field and demonstrated experience, e.g., in the form of publications and/or code released in the public domain.
The research will be supervised by Professor Arno Jacobsen (UofT) and Dr. Aharon Brodutch (IonQ Canada). The positions are expected to have funding for two years. The candidate should be able to start as soon as possible.
Application Details & Contact: Applicants should submit a cover letter highlighting qualifications and an academic curriculum vitae with list of publications as one single PDF file via https://bit.ly/PDF-in-dQC by no later than May 30th, 2025. Also, one letter of recommendation should be emailed directly from the reference to Mr. Cirillo (v.cirillo@utoronto.ca) with subject line: “UTIQ Letter of Recommendation Mitacs-sponsored DQC Project”. For any questions regarding the position, you may contact Professor Arno Jacobsen (jacobsen@eecg.utoronto.ca) and Dr. Aharon Brodutch (brodutch@ionq.co). The position is funded by Mitacs and IonQ Canada.
