Opportunities in Quantum Computing - Postdocs and Summer Students

The quantum computing group at Argonne National Laboratory is looking for postdoctoral scholars and summer students to perform research in quantum computing. Research topics of interest include quantum networking, quantum algorithms, quantum distributed systems, quantum error correction, and simulations of quantum networks.

Interested candidates should send their CV to the project lead Martin Suchara at msuchara@anl.gov. Candidates for postdoctoral positions can also apply directly at https://www.anl.gov/hr/postdoctoral-applicants for a position with requisition number 405345. The postdoctoral position advertisement is attached.

The quantum computing group at Argonne National Laboratory is part of the Chicago Quantum Exchange, a research hub that is building a 30-mile quantum teleportation network. Our group members have the opportunity to collaborate with leading experts across the laboratory divisions and at partner institutions. We offer a competitive compensation and benefits package, relocation, and assistance with visa processing for international candidates.

Desired Skills: We are seeking candidates with knowledge of quantum computing who also have expertise in one or more of the following areas:

o Experience with large-scale code development in C, C++, Python or Java

o Compilation and circuit optimization techniques

o Communication networks, including design and simulations of network protocols

o Scientific simulations, including simulations of errors in quantum systems

o Optical networking and quantum optics at telecommunication wavelengths

What we Offer

o Ability to participate in high-profile research to build the first large-scale teleportation network in the US

o Collaborations with a diverse group of scientists covering aspects of quantum computing ranging from theory of quantum computing to applied physics

o Competitive salary, relocation assistance, and comprehensive benefits package

o A vibrant community of 3,300 employees including scientists, postdoctoral scholars and students located in close proximity to Chicago
