Post-doctoral Associate

Description:

The Center for Quantum and Topological Systems (CQTS) at New York University (NYU) Abu Dhabi, UAE invites applications for a Post-Doctoral Associate position, in the area of Quantum Computing. The candidate is expected to do cutting-edge research in multiple of the following areas, therefore prior expertise in these topics are highly encouraged: Quantum Machine Learning, Machine Learning on Quantum Computers, Quantum Circuits for Machine Learning, Quantum Circuits for Topological Data Analysis, Design Automation and Tools for Quantum Circuits, Efficient Mapping of Quantum Algorithms on Quantum Machines, Quantum Hardware-Aware Optimizations for QML, Quantum Computational Algorithms, and Error Correction for Quantum Computing. Strong work experience with some quantum machines and development environments like QiSKit are highly appreciated.

The selected candidate will work on cutting edge technologies in an excellent research environment, with a potential to work with a Quantum Computer through our collaboration partners, as well as in collaboration with other industrial partners. The Center possesses the unique possibility to investigate cutting-edge interdisciplinary questions within the theoretical and fundamental aspects of Computer Science and Engineering, Mathematics, and Physics, from various points of view and different abstraction levels. The selected candidate will also have great opportunities to work on interdisciplinary research problems with other postdocs of the center.

We also expect successful applicants to do cutting-edge interdisciplinary research and work in synergy towards improving the collaborations and connections among the different areas. Ability to work and connect to more than one topic and having interdisciplinary perspective is an advantage, but disciplinary applications will be considered as well having a focus and in-depth expertise in a particular topic mentioned above.
