The appointed candidate will develop, within the domain of numerical methods for quantum computing, an international, competitive research program to pursue excellent scientific results globally and support and promote national and international research partnerships. The candidate must meet a strong research profile or have the potential to do so. Candidates are expected to have already obtained excellent research results within the research field of design, analysis, development, and implementation of new quantum algorithms for numerical computing, such as quantum annealing algorithms for science and engineering problems, quantum machine learning algorithms, new computing methodologies for quantum computers, algorithms and software in computational science and engineering, and/or the development of numerical methods (using, e.g., multi-linear algebra, optimization, uncertainty quantification) for quantum computing, such as, e.g., the quantum compiling problem. The candidate will be appointed in the Department of Computer Science of KU Leuven. In addition, the candidate is expected to have a multidisciplinary attitude and a willingness to cooperate intensively with other researchers and research units at KU Leuven, and in particular with the researchers involved in the KU Leuven Quantum Initiative at imec and the departments of Materials Engineering, Electrical Engineering (ESAT), Physics and Astronomy, and Chemical Engineering.
