2 Postdoctoral Positions at IFISC (CSIC-UIB)

The Institute for Cross-Disciplinary Physics and Complex Systems (IFISC) invites applications for two postdoctoral research positions in the field of quantum technologies and complex systems. These positions are funded by the EU Quantera project QNET, and the National project QUANTCOM .

Position Details

We are seeking motivated and talented candidates to join our research efforts in the following areas:

• Neuromorphic-inspired quantum networks: Quantum reservoir computing and associative memories

• Dynamics of out-of-equilibrium many-body quantum systems

The selected postdocs will be involved in theoretical and/or numerical modeling of complex quantum systems inspired by neuromorphic computing principles, with applications to quantum information processing, learning, and memory.

Contract Duration

• Position 1: 22 months

• Position 2: 17 months

Candidate Profile

Required Qualifications:

• Ph.D. in Physics, Applied Mathematics, Computer Science, or related disciplines.

• Strong background in quantum physics, quantum information, machine learning, or complex quantum systems.

• Experience in numerical simulations and analytical techniques in quantum many-body systems or computational neuroscience is highly desirable.

• Good communication skills and the ability to work in an interdisciplinary team.

We Offer

• A dynamic and interdisciplinary research environment at IFISC, a joint research center of the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) and the University of the Balearic Islands (UIB).

• Collaboration opportunities with leading international researchers.

• Gross salary, depending on the candidate's experience, is between 43,000 and 50,000 euros per year.

Interested candidates should send by 1/9/2025 the following documents to Roberta Zambrini roberta@ifisc.uib-csic.es and Gian Luca Giorgi gianluca@ifisc.uib-csic.es

• A cover letter stating research interests and motivation

• Curriculum Vitae (including list of publications)

• Contact information for at least two academic references
