About this position

This PhD project sits at the intersection of machine learning and quantum many-body physics. The successful candidate will join Interpretable Machines for Physics (IMP), a research group led by Dr. Anna Dawid, and will work on the mechanics of deep learning as well as new machine learning approaches for challenging quantum problems.

The project emphasizes making machine learning methods interpretable, reliable, and scalable for use in quantum sciences. The student will gain experience with state-of-the-art deep learning solutions while also addressing the broader challenge of understanding neural networks. Research is embedded in the interdisciplinary aQa (Applied Quantum Algorithms) environment, bringing together faculty, postdoctoral researchers, and students across the Leiden Institute of Physics (LION), Leiden Institute for Advanced Computer Science (LIACS), the Leiden Institute for Chemistry (LIC), and the Leiden Mathematical Institute (MI).

The position is based within the Faculty of Science at Leiden University and specifically in LIACS, a supportive computer science institute with an international research culture. The environment is described as dynamic, collaborative, and designed to support academic growth, with opportunities to participate in group meetings, one-on-one mentoring, teaching activities, scientific events, and conference presentations. The role also includes co-supervision of Bachelor and Master students and active engagement in research dissemination through publications.

The project offers increasing scientific freedom alongside structured mentoring and career development planning. The start date is flexible, with the latest start in November 2027.
