Postdoc of Quantum Computing Algorithms for Quantum Chemistry

Department of Chemistry
Faculty of Science
University of Copenhagen
The postdoctoral fellow will work in the field of quantum chemistry on quantum computers focusing on the development of quantum algorithms for noisy intermediate scale quantum (NISQ) computers and the identification of use cases from chemistry. The position is within a university-industry collaboration project on optimizing chemistry applications on error-mitigated trapped ion-based quantum computers. The goal is to test the developed quantum algorithms for the chosen use cases together with the error mitigation software of our industrial collaborators on trapped ion-based quantum computers. A thorough understanding of correlated wave function quantum chemistry and quantum computing is essential, so the candidate should have a deep knowledge of the implementation of coupled cluster or multi-configurational self-consistent field (MCSCF) theory, knowledge of gate-based quantum computing on NISQ computers, and be an experienced programmer. Significant research experience in quantum chemistry and quantum computing is required. Parts of the project will involve the development of Python-based software, and a strong background in Python will therefore be advantageous. Proficiency in communication and teamwork skills, as well as excellent English skills, both written and spoken, are essential.
The postdoc’s duties will include research within quantum chemistry and quantum computing as well as teaching. The post may also include performance of other duties.
The position is open from 1. April 2025 or as soon as possible thereafter. The position is for 2 years.
The University wishes our staff to reflect the diversity of society and thus welcomes applications from all qualified candidates regardless of personal background.
Terms of EmploymentThe position is covered by the Memorandum on Job Structure for Academic Staff. Terms of appointment and payment accord to the agreement between the Ministry of Finance and The Danish Confederation of Professional Associations on Academics in the State. Negotiation for salary supplement is possible.
Application InstructionsThe application, in English, must be submitted electronically by clicking APPLY NOW below.
Please include:
- Diplomas (Master and PhD degree or equivalent)
- Research plan – description of research ideas related to the announced project
- Separate reprints of 3 particularly relevant papers
The deadline for applications is 2. March 2025, 23:59 GMT+1.
After the expiry of the deadline for applications, the authorized recruitment manager selects applicants for assessment on the advice of the Interview Committee. Interviews will be held in mid March 2025.
Additional InformationPart of the International Alliance of Research Universities (IARU), and among Europe’s top-ranking universities, the University of Copenhagen promotes research and teaching of the highest international standard.
