About this position
The University of Maryland, College Park is recruiting a postdoctoral fellow for the MathQuantum RTG, a joint appointment offered through the Institute for Physical Science & Technology and the Department of Mathematics. The fellowship is built around research at the intersection of mathematics and quantum information science, with fellows expected to develop independent projects that align with the broader MathQuantum vision.
The postdoctoral fellow will work with UMD faculty and a general faculty mentor, identifying open problems where mathematical ideas can be applied to QIS and developing creative approaches to address them. The role is not limited to research: it also includes a substantial teaching component in the Department of Mathematics, along with participation in a broader training environment that emphasizes professional development, community-building, and outreach.
MathQuantum is framed as a unique NSF RTG environment at UMD, bringing together research training, interdisciplinary collaboration, and mentoring. Fellows are expected to engage with the RTG community, take part in events and workshops, and interact with senior scientists and other faculty connected to the program. The position also offers opportunities to build experience in mentoring, outreach, and the wider research culture around QIS.
The program is especially oriented toward applicants who want to connect mathematical research with quantum information science while developing broader academic and leadership skills in a supportive postdoctoral setting.
