We are looking for excellent candidates for Ph.D. positions in the
School of Computing at Clemson University. The candidate will work under
the supervision of Dr. Ilya Safro on algorithms for quantum computing.
Some projects will include collaboration with national labs and industry.

The ideal candidate should have a basic background in
- quantum computing
- theoretical computer science, graphs, algorithms
- basic principles of machine learning
- basic numerical methods (in particular, in linear algebra)
- C/C++, Python

Basic knowledge in mathematical optimization is a big plus. Candidates
with B.Sc. or M.Sc. in computer science, mathematics, physics or similar
disciplines will be considered.

Please send your application as soon as possible to Dr. Safro at
isafro@clemson.edu. The application should include one pdf with
- cover letter or/and essay
- resume
- grades
- contact details of 2-3 references
The subject line must contain "PhD Application (ACS)".

The School of Computing has 42 faculty members, more than 400
undergraduate majors, and over 200 graduate students collectively across
its three divisions: Computer Science, Visual Computing, and
Human-Centered Computing. Clemson University is located in Clemson,
South Carolina, a college town on beautiful Lake Hartwell at the
foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, conveniently situated within a
2hr drive from both Atlanta and Charlotte. Clemson has an enrollment of
approximately 20,000. U.S. News & World Report has ranked Clemson in the
