Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology (Skoltech) is a unique English-speaking international graduate only research university, located just outside of Moscow. Established in collaboration with M.I.T., Skoltech integrates the best Russian scientific traditions with twenty-first century entrepreneurship and innovation.
The selected candidate will be responsible for designing, building, training, and deploying machine learning models on Xanadu’s cutting-edge specialized quantum computing hardware. As part of our Quantum Machine Learning team, they will participate in multiple aspects of machine learning research and development targeted to near-term quantum devices. Other duties may include the training of traditional (non-quantum) machine learning models for comparison and benchmarking purposes.
Skoltech's Quantum Software Initiative is currently offering Postdoc, PhD and Masters research projects to develop the theory and implementation of software that quantum computers will execute.
A fully funded (tuition and stipend) Ph.D. position is available to work with Matthew Leifer in the Computational and Data Sciences program at Chapman University. Chapman University is home to the Institute for Quantum Studies, which is one of the leading centers for research in the foundations of quantum theory.

Title: Quantum correlations from the perspective of causal discovery algorithms
Three two-year postdoctoral research associate positions are available immediately in the group of Barry Sanders, who is the iCORE Chair of Quantum Information Science and Director of the University of Calgary's Institute for Quantum Information Science (IQIS). Research foci are machine learning for quantum measurement, multi-partite quantum communication protocols, quantum simulation, electron transport in protein complexes, and theoretical support for the the experimental research groups of Drs Barclay, Lvovsky, and Tittel in IQIS.
