Postdoctoral Fellows in Quantum Mathematics

The Centre for Quantum Mathematics (QM) at the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science, University of Southern Denmark (SDU) invites applications for a number of two-year positions as postdoctoral fellow with emphasis on either pure mathematics with relations to quantum theory or theoretical physics.

The targeted starting date of the positions is 1 August 2023, or as soon as possible thereafter.

The QM centre is located at the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science, Faculty of Science on the international campus in Odense, Denmark. QM is newly established with the ambition to create a highly international and interdisciplinary group within a broad spectrum of pure mathematics and mathematical physics. Odense is a fast-growing international community with an open Scandinavian culture, affordable housing and living costs.

The ideal candidates should have a strong research background in pure mathematics or theoretical physics, e.g. algebra, algebraic geometry, differential geometry, algebraic topology, complex geometry, quantum topology, geometric analysis, operator algebra, number theory, quantum field theory, string theory or mathematical physics, and should also have interests in pursuing the various applications in quantum computing and quantum engineering of this project.

The successful candidates will primarily participate in the aforementioned CLUSTEC and QCI.dk research projects, and work with an international consortium of quantum technologists, photonic integrators, mathematicians, computer scientists and quantum information theorists towards building scalable quantum computing and quantum communication networks.

Job description / requirements
A successful candidate will drive internationally competitive research and collaborate with the world community in the field. The candidate is expected to contribute to QM’s excellent research and teaching environment. The candidate must have a PhD degree in mathematics or theoretical physics.
The candidates must furthermore have an emerging research track in the field. We are seeking highly motivated candidates who work and communicate well in an international team. The candidates must be able to carry out independent and rigorous work at top international level.

Deadline: 15 December 2022.
