Copenhagen, Copenhagen, Denmark Københavns Universitet Full time
Job Description

We are seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher to join our team at the Department of Chemistry, University of Copenhagen. The successful candidate will work on the development of quantum chemical methods and software for the prediction of molecular properties on hybrid classic-quantum architectures involving IBM's NISQ quantum computers.

The postdoctoral researcher will be part of a research consortium consisting of the research groups of professor Stephan P. A. Sauer at the Department of Chemistry at University of Copenhagen, professor Sonia Coriani at the Department of Chemistry at the Technical University of Denmark, and professor Jacob Kongsted at the Department of Physics, Chemistry and Pharmacy at the University of Southern Denmark.

The successful candidate will have a PhD in Quantum Information Science, Physics, Computer Science, Mathematics, or Chemistry, and documented prior experience with either quantum computing or quantum chemistry. Experience with quantum computing software libraries like IBM's Qiskit would be an advantage.

The postdoctoral researcher will be responsible for conducting research within quantum chemistry on quantum computers, as well as teaching and other duties as agreed upon with the supervisor. The position may also involve regular travels to the two other universities participating in the project.

The University of Copenhagen is an equal opportunities employer and welcomes applications from all qualified candidates regardless of personal background.

Terms of Employment

The position is covered by the Memorandum on Job Structure for Academic Staff. Terms of appointment and payment accord to the agreement between the Danish Ministry of Taxation and The Danish Confederation of Professional Associations on Academics in the State. Negotiation for salary supplement is possible.

Please submit your application, in English, electronically by clicking APPLY NOW below. The application should include a motivational letter, curriculum vitae, diplomas, research statement, complete publication list, and separate reprints of up to 3 particularly relevant papers.
