Conducting research for a changing society: This is what drives us at Forschungszentrum Jülich. As a member of the Helmholtz Association, we aim to tackle the grand societal challenges of our time and conduct research into the possibilities of a digitized society, a climate-friendly energy system, and a resource-efficient economy. Work together with around 7,250 employees in one of Europe’s biggest research centres and help us to shape change!
The mission of the Institute for Quantum Computing Analytics (PGI-12) is to model and improve quantum computing systems on multiple levels from optimal control of the hardware over error mitigation and compilation to application specific quantum algorithms. We focus working on interfaces between disciplines in large innovative projects that strive for the development of scalable and useful quantum computers. In a tight integration with quantum computer hardware developers, we investigate the applicability of quantum computers towards real-world applications in a hardware-software co-design paradigm.
We are looking to recruit a Postdoctoral Researcher for Quantum Algorithms
Your Job: You will work in an interdisciplinary project team on application focused quantum algorithms. This includes:
Extension, development, and analysis of new quantum algorithms for near-term and fault-tolerant quantum computers
Investigating potential quantum advantage of such algorithms in real-world scenarios
Developing optimal compilation methods and tailored quantum algorithms for noisy quantum computer
Leading contributions to technical reports and scientific articles
Supervision of PhD and master students
Your Profile:
Master’s degree with PhD in physics, computer science, mathematics, or a comparable field
Proven research experience in the area of quantum algorithms or quantum information theory
Good organizational and communication skills
Ability to work independently in interdisciplinary teams
Good written and spoken English language skills
Ideally good German language skills, both written and spoken
Ideally experience in software development
Our Offer:
We work on highly topical socially relevant issues and offer you the opportunity to actively shape change! We support you in your work with:
A large research campus with green spaces, offering the best possible means for networking with colleagues and pursuing sports alongside work
Comprehensive training offers and individual opportunities for personal and professional development
Comprehensive company health management
Optimal conditions for work-life balance and a family-conscious corporate policy
Flexible working time models, the option of full-time / part-time work and 30 vacation days per year
The possibility of (location-)flexible working, e.g. two to three days per week in a home office
Targeted services for international employees, e.g. through our International Advisory Service
In addition to exciting tasks and a collaborative working atmosphere at Jülich, we have a lot more to offer: https://go.fzj.de/benefits.
We offer you an exciting and varied position in an international and interdisciplinary working environment. The position is initially limited to two years with the possibility of a longer-term perspective. Remuneration and social benefits are in accordance with the collective agreement for the public sector (TVöD-Bund); depending on the existing qualifications and depending on the assignment of tasks, a grouping in the range of the remuneration group 13–14 TVöD-Bund.
We particularly welcome applications from people from a diverse range of backgrounds (e.g. regardless of age, gender, disabilities, sexual orientation / identity, as well as social, ethnic, and religious background). We strive to offer a diverse and inclusive working environment in which people enjoy equal opportunities and are able to fulfill their potential.
