2 faculty positions Quantum Computing including Quantum Simulation of Molecules and Materials, University of Amsterdam, the Netherlands

Both positions will be part of QuSoft, the Dutch research centre for quantum software, launched in 2015 to combine the quantum computing research of CWI and of the University of Amsterdam. QuSoft’s mission is to use the extraordinary properties of quantum mechanics, such as superposition, interference and entanglement, to develop new algorithms, communication protocols, and applications for small and medium-sized prototypes as well as larger quantum computers. QuSoft values diversity and inclusion, and improving the gender representation within QuSoft is an urgent concern. To this end, we will, among equally qualified candidates, prioritise applications from women researchers (including identifying as).

The positions are in the area of quantum computing, particularly in one or more of the following subareas:

  • quantum algorithms,
  • quantum complexity theory,
  • quantum error-correction and fault-tolerance,
  • quantum cryptography,
  • quantum simulation of molecules and materials,
  • quantum information theory.
