Join us to invent the future!
With the Institute for Photonic Quantum Systems (PhoQS), the Paderborn University aims to establish an international research center in the field of photonic quantum technologies. The goal is to develop new technologies for photon-based quantum applications as well as new theoretical and experimental concepts and research approaches. The ultimate focus is on the understanding and control of photonic quantum simulators and quantum computers.
In the Faculty of Computer Science, Electrical Engineering and Mathematics, the Institute of Computer Science – Department "Codes and Cryptography" – within this scope, we invite applications for the following fixed-term position (100% of the regular working time), which will start at the earliest opportunity:
Research Assistant (f/m/d)
(salary is according to 13 TV-L)
The position is embedded in the project "Photonic Quantum Computing (PhoQC)" of the "Ministerium für Kultur und Wissenschaft" of the state of Northrhine-Westfalia (MKW NRW).
It is a full-time qualification position to support a PhD-project. The initial contract is for three years but limited to the duration of the PhD-project. An extension to finish the PhD is possible in accordance with the rules of the WissZeitVG.
Your duties and responsibilites:
• _Complexity theoretic analysis of Boson-Sampling-like experiments
• _Development of quantum algorithms applying Boson Sampling to solve practical tasks
• _Development and analysis of theoretical frameworks for universal quantum computing based on quantum photonics
• _Teaching on the order of 4 teaching hours (SWS) per week
Hiring requirement:
• _scientific Master degree in computer science, mathematics or physics
It is expected for the successful candidate to have an established academic profile and previous experience in at least one of the following areas:
• _Quantum algorithms
• _Quantum complexity theory
• _Theoretical quantum photonics
Since Paderborn University seeks to increase the number of female scientists, applications of women are especially welcome. In case of equal qualification and scientific achievements, they will receive preferential treatment according to the North Rhine-Westphalian Equal Opportuni-ties Policy (LGG), unless there are cogent reasons to give preference to another applicant. Part-time employment is possible. Likewise, applications of disabled people with appropriate qualifi-cation are explicitly requested.
