Two postdoc positions available:
Postdoc/PhD candidates should have a PhD/MSc in Physics, Mathematics, or Computer Science with a thesis in one the following areas: quantum information and computation, mathematical programming, combinatorial optimization, or coding theory. Postdoc candidates should have a significant research record in the field. We appreciate proactive researchers with a good ability for cooperation, a methodological way of working, and proficiency in English. Programming experience (Python/Julia, Sage, GAP, semidefinite programming) is a plus.
The positions profit from a vibrant quantum community at the Institutes of Theoretical Physics and Informatics of U. Gdańsk and the ICTQT Gdańsk. We welcome applicants from all backgrounds, and promote a friendly, safe, and supporting team work environment.
All positions includes Polish social security coverage, including health insurance. See Calculla for approximate net earnings, and Numbeo for cost of living estimates.
