We are seeking a postdoctoral researcher to explore tensor networks, quantum algorithms, scientific computing, topological physics, and quantum hardware. The role involves developing scalable quantum simulation algorithms based on multi-linear representation theory, applying them to real-world problems in physical sciences, data science, and qubit engineering. The position involves conducting research, developing algorithms, producing open-source software, and presenting findings at scientific venues. Candidates should hold a Ph.D. in related fields, with strong backgrounds in linear algebra, quantum physics, and programming. Preferred skills include experience with low-rank approximation methods, quantum algorithms, topological theories, and multiple programming languages. The appointment lasts up to 24 months, with competitive benefits and the opportunity to collaborate within a multidisciplinary research environment. Applicants must submit references and demonstrate the ability to work independently and as part of a team.
