About this position

The Quantum Information Center and Texas Quantum Institute at The University of Texas at Austin invite applications for postdoctoral positions in Quantum Information Science, Quantum Computing, and Quantum Many-Body Physics. The appointment is affiliated with the Department of Physics and the Department of Computer Science, placing the fellow in a highly interdisciplinary environment that bridges theoretical physics and theoretical computer science.

The postdoctoral researcher will join a community working across quantum information and computation, quantum complexity theory, quantum dynamics, and quantum simulation. The posting highlights strong interest in candidates who connect multiple subfields, especially at the interface of theory and quantum technologies. Current members of the QIC named in the advert include Scott Aaronson, Nick Hunter-Jones, Matteo Ippoliti, and William Kretschmer, and the position is further connected to a wider UT Austin ecosystem of faculty with overlapping interests in quantum materials, condensed matter theory, high-energy theory, quantum architecture, quantum error correction, and quantum experiment.

The role is designed for a research-focused postdoctoral appointment beginning in Summer or Fall 2027, with a two-year term that may be renewed for a third year. The advert emphasizes collaboration with the broader quantum community at UT Austin and a research environment spanning multiple departments and subfields.
