Research on quantum technologies is set to revolutionize several aspects of
our life, including how we process information. In the Department of
Mathematics and Computer Science at Eindhoven University of Technology
(TU/e), the Netherlands, there is a vacancy for a 2 year postdoctoral
position on the topics of quantum error correction, quantum graph theory,
and quantum information theory. The vacancy will remain open until the
position is filled.
JOB DESCRIPTION
This postdoc position is jointly supervised by Alberto Ravagnani (
https://a.ravagnani.win.tue.nl) and Aida Abiad (https://aidaabiad.win.tue.nl)
and it is funded by the Eindhoven Hendrik Casimir Institute for quantum
technologies. The position is hosted by the Mathematical Communication
Theory group (https://mct.win.tue.nl). You will have the opportunity to
contribute to and shape research directions at the crossroad of quantum
information theory, quantum graph theory, and quantum error correction. You
will bridge the Algebraic Combinatorics (
https://www.tue.nl/en/research/research-groups/algebraic-combinatorics) and
the Mathematical Communication Theory groups (
https://www.tue.nl/en/research/research-groups/mathematics/discrete-mathematics/mathematical-communication-theory),
establishing and leading new interdisciplinary collaborations. You will
bridge the Mathematical Communication Theory group and the Eindhoven
Hendrik Casimir Institute.
JOB REQUIREMENTS
• You have a PhD in Mathematics or related disciplines.
• Familiarity with coding theory and graph theory. Ideally, familiarity
with quantum information theory and/or quantum graph theory.
• Ability to conduct high quality academic research, reflected in
demonstratable outputs.
• A team player who enjoys coaching Master's students and working in a
dynamic, interdisciplinary team.
• Ability to take the lead and take initiative in research
collaborations.
• A proven ability to manage complex projects to completion on schedule.
• Excellent (written and verbal) proficiency in English, good
communication skills.
CONDITIONS OF EMPLOYMENT
A meaningful job in a dynamic and ambitious university, in an
interdisciplinary setting and within an international network. You will
work on a green campus within walking distance from the central train
station. In addition, we offer you:
• Full-time employment for 2 years.
• Salary in accordance with the Collective Labour Agreement for Dutch
Universities.
• A year-end bonus of 8.3% and annual vacation pay of 8%.
• High-quality training programs on general skills, didactics and
topics related to research and valorization.
• An excellent technical infrastructure, on-campus children's day care
and sports facilities.
• Partially paid parental leave and an allowance for commuting, working
from home and internet costs.
• A TU/e Postdoc Association that helps you to build a stronger and
broader academic and personal network, and offers tailored support,
training and workshops.
• A Staff Immigration Team is available for international candidates,
as are a tax compensation scheme (the 30% facility) and a compensation for
moving expenses.
