About this position
The Centre for Quantum Mathematics (QM) at the University of Southern Denmark’s Department of Mathematics and Computer Science is recruiting postdoctoral researchers for a 2- to 3-year appointment focused on quantum algorithms and quantum software. The position is embedded in a highly international and interdisciplinary centre that connects pure mathematics, mathematical physics, and quantum computer science, with research activity spanning both fundamental and applied directions.
QM has grown over the past seven years into a distinctive research environment in Odense, attracting international researchers and building a broad platform for collaboration. The centre is expanding further with major university investment and a new dedicated building on the SDU campus, supporting its growing community and research ambitions.
The postdoc will contribute to internationally competitive research and have the opportunity to help shape ideas and projects with national and international impact. The advertised topics include mathematics, mathematical physics, quantum algorithms, quantum software architecture, and quantum computing, placing the appointment at the interface of theory, computation, and quantum information science.
The centre is active in several large European, Danish, and American grants, including projects in low-dimensional topology, topological photonic quantum computing, quantum geometry, categorical symmetries, and quantum field theory. This creates a rich research setting with links across topology, geometry, physics, and quantum technologies.
The position is based at the Faculty of Science on the international campus in Odense, Denmark. The advertised contact for further information is the Head of the Centre, Jørgen Ellegaard Andersen.
