Quantum Algorithm Theorist

What you'll do

• Design novel and efficient quantum algorithms for scientifically and practically meaningful problems.
• Develop quantum algorithms specifically tailored for implementation on fault-tolerant quantum computers.
• Characterize quantum speed-ups using computational complexity theory and comparisons against state-of-the-art classical methods.
• Collaborate with compiler, error-correction, and hardware teams to optimize algorithms for early fault-tolerant architectures.
• Publish research findings in leading peer-reviewed journals and present at premier scientific conferences.
• Engage with academic collaborators to help shape the intellectual direction of quantum algorithms research.

What we're looking for

• A Doctorate Degree in Physics, Computer Science, Mathematics, Engineering, or a closely related field is required.
• Demonstrated research experience in the design and analysis of quantum algorithms is required.
• A track record of independent theoretical research with original contributions to the field is required.
• A solid foundation in quantum information theory, computational complexity, and linear algebra is required.
• Proficiency in at least one general-purpose programming language is required.
• A strong publication record in high-impact peer-reviewed journals and top-tier conference proceedings is preferred.
• Experience serving on technical program committees or as a reviewer for reputable conferences or journals is preferred.
• Postdoctoral research experience or a graduate program focused on quantum algorithms or complexity theory is preferred.
