[TYPES/announce] QuICS/PLUM Postdoctoral Scholarship On Practical Quantum Computation

[Michael Hicks]

Hi!

We are currently *seeking outstanding postdoctoral researchers* to join an
ongoing project that develops theoretical and computational tools for
performing quantum computation on realistic devices. This project is a
partnership between the *Joint Center for Quantum Information* and Computer
Science (QuICS, http://quics.umd.edu) and the *Programming Languages
Lab *(PLUM,
http://www.cs.umd.edu/projects/PL/) at the University of Maryland. Faculty
involved in the project include Andrew Childs, Alexey Gorshkov, Michael
Hicks, and Xiaodi Wu.

This project has three main thrusts. First, it is developing theoretical
methods and software tools for mapping quantum circuits onto restricted
architectures. Second, it is studying the role of long-range interactions
in quantum processors. Third, it is developing programming languages and
formal logics for writing and reasoning about quantum programs, along with
classical software tools (e.g., compilers and run-time systems) that
support quantum processing. A successful applicant for the position should
have expertise and interest in working on at least one of these topics, and
ideally will be able to work across all three.

The application *deadline for full consideration is December 1, 2019*, but
applications may be considered until the positions are filled. Applicants
should submit a curriculum vitae including a complete publication list and
a two-page research statement, and should arrange for three reference
letters. Applications should be sent through the QuICS Hartree Postdoctoral
Fellowship search (https://academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/14493) and
should include a cover letter indicating interest in the "QuICS/PLUM
Postdoctoral Scholarship On Practical Quantum Computation".

The University of Maryland, College Park, actively subscribes to a policy
of equal employment opportunity, and will not discriminate against any
employee or applicant because of race, color, sex, gender identity or
expression, sexual orientation, marital status, age, national origin,
political affiliation, physical or mental disability, religion, protected
veteran status, genetic information, or personal appearance. Minorities and
women are encouraged to apply.

If you have any questions, let me know. Thanks!
