Do you have a passion for computational chemistry and are eager to employ quantum computing methods to study complex chemical systems?

The Computational Science Lab within in the Informatics Institute is offering a PhD position focusing on the design, implementation, and validation of electronic structure calculations on current and forthcoming quantum computing hardware. You will not only design quantum software for such applications, but also test these on quantum emulators and actual quantum computers. For the latter you will collaborate with supercomputer centers in Germany that are currently deploying such systems as accelerators for current (petascale) and future (exascale) supercomputing systems.

The research will be carried out in collaboration with the Computational Chemistry group, embedded in the Van ‘t Hoff Institute for Molecular Sciences (HIMS), of the University of Amsterdam and with the Centre for Computational Science at the University College London.

The offered position will also be linked to QuSoft, the Dutch research center for quantum software & technology.

Deadline: 30 April 2024.

The Mathematical Institute of the Faculty of Science, Leiden University, offers a PhD position on the topic of Algebraic Quantum Algorithms. The successful candidate will be working with both Peter Bruin (Leiden) and Maris Ozols (University of Amsterdam/QuSoft). The PhD candidate will be primarily based in Leiden, and will also be able to spend part of their time at QuSoft. The goal of this PhD position is to develop new quantum algorithms using techniques from algebra and number theory.* Deadline: April 2nd, 2024* For more details, see the application page:https://www.universiteitleiden.nl/vacatures/2024/q1/14601-phd-candidate-in-algebraic-quantum-algorithms* Note that the application also includes a set of challenge problems:https://pub.math.leidenuniv.nl/~bruinpj/challenge.pdf

We invite applications for a postdoc on subjects within the scope of quantum computing and theoretical computer science, including theoretical quantum algorithms, theoretical quantum cryptography and quantum complexity theory. Candidates should have a track record of excellent published research in theoretical computer science. The position will be supervised by Stacey Jeffery, and the starting date is flexible. To apply, please email your CV and the names and email addresses of 3 references to jeffery@cwi.nl. The position will remain open until it is filled.

QuSoft Staff is supervising several master projects: we are always looking for new master students!
