About this position
The Centre for Quantum Mathematics (QM) at the University of Southern Denmark is recruiting postdoctoral fellows for research in quantum mathematics with an emphasis on pure mathematics and its connections to quantum theory.
The position sits within IMADA, the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science, and is embedded in QM’s broad research environment spanning pure mathematics, mathematical physics, and quantum computer science. The centre has built an international and interdisciplinary community in Odense and is expanding further into a new dedicated building on the SDU campus, creating a focused setting for collaborative research.
Successful candidates will join a centre that is home to multiple major grants and research projects across low-dimensional topology, topological quantum computing, open topological strings, quantum geometry, categorical symmetries, quantum field theory, and algebraic geometry. The postdoctoral researchers are expected to contribute to internationally competitive research, work with the wider research community, and help shape the centre’s continued development.
The advertised research interests include algebra, algebraic geometry, differential geometry, algebraic topology, complex geometry, quantum topology, geometric analysis, operator algebra, number theory, statistics, probability theory, and mathematical physics. The role is therefore suitable for researchers whose work connects rigorous pure mathematics with quantum-inspired problems and adjacent areas in mathematical physics and quantum computation.
The centre is led by Jørgen Ellegaard Andersen, and the research environment includes leading researchers such as Vivek Shende, Fabian Haiden, Du Pei, Apoorv Tiwari, Konstantin Wernli, and Matthias Wilhelm. Together, these projects and personnel provide a strong international network and a wide range of active research directions in the mathematics of quantum phenomena.
The position is for 2–3 years and is based in Odense, Denmark, within SDU’s Faculty of Science. The advertised research environment emphasizes independence, collaboration, and high-level scholarship within an expanding centre that is investing heavily in its future.

What's required
Applicants must have a PhD degree or equivalent in algebra, algebraic geometry, differential geometry, algebraic topology, complex geometry, quantum topology, geometric analysis, operator algebra, number theory, statistics, probability theory, mathematical physics, quantum algorithms, or quantum software architecture. An emerging research track in the field is required, along with the ability to work independently and rigorously at a top international level. Applicants should be highly motivated, able to collaborate and communicate well in an international team, and fluent in English; Danish is not required.
How to apply
Submit the application electronically via the “Apply now” link. Upload a CV, full list of publications, and a PhD diploma or supervisor statement if the diploma has not yet been received. Arrange for at least two recommendation letters to be sent directly to [email protected] before the deadline.
