Applicants are expected to hold a PhD in Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics or Computer Science and be active in the field of quantum computation, ideally applied to chemistry or life science.
The assistant professor’s duties will primarily include research, including obligations with regard to publication/scientific communication and research-based teaching with associated examination obligations within quantum computing.

The environment
The appointment will be in the Department of Chemistry or the Niels Bohr Institute and the appointee will be affiliated with NQCP, nqcp.ku.dk As one of the initial leader team appointments in the Algorithms and Applications area of NQCP, the assistant professor is expected to take a leading role in developing the quantum algorithms area within this programme, with a vision to solving problems of chemical and biological significance on fault-tolerant quantum computing hardware.
Life in Denmark is supported with strong social services (free universal healthcare, free/subsidised language courses, paid parental leave, subsidised day care institutions and excellent public schools). Our work culture is very egalitarian and prioritises work life balance. Dual career families are the norm, and workplaces offer flexibility to support everyone in having both an exciting career and good family time. Danish cities are known for having excellent infrastructure, for example through widespread bike path networks. We can also offer a thriving food-scene, excellent museums, and beautiful natural scenery.
Assessment of applicants will primarily consider their level of documented, internationally competitive research. The ability to attract external funding will be considered together with outreach qualifications. Teaching qualifications are not mandatory but documented teaching qualifications and teaching experience will be considered.
Six overall criteria apply for assistant professor appointments at the University of Copenhagen. The six criteria (research, teaching, societal impact, organisational contribution, external funding and leadership) are considered a framework for the overall assessment of candidates. Furthermore, each candidate must be assessed according to the specific requirements stated in the job advertisement.
