About this position
The research group of Cunlu Zhou at the Université de Sherbrooke is recruiting for multiple postdoctoral positions at the intersection of quantum computing and artificial intelligence. The work spans theoretical foundations, algorithms, and practical tools aimed at understanding and harnessing quantum computing, with connections to quantum hardware and a flexible research agenda that allows successful candidates to develop original ideas within the broader program.
The positions are based in the Department of Computer Science and Institut quantique (IQ), and the group is associated with Mila – Quebec AI Institute. The research environment brings together quantum information, quantum engineering, quantum materials, and leading AI expertise, creating a highly interdisciplinary setting for research.
Several research directions are available, including quantum algorithms and quantum error correction, quantum algorithms for quantum chemistry and scattering, quantum algorithms for finance, quantum machine learning, AI for quantum computing, hybrid continuous-variable and discrete-variable quantum computing, and quantum learning. The advertised topics include collaboration with external partners such as IBM Quantum, Quandela, Nord Quantique, and major research communities including Mila, IVADO, the Institute of Cosmos Sciences, and Perimeter Institute. Some directions also involve co-supervision or collaboration with researchers at other universities and institutions.
The group emphasizes an inclusive and collaborative research culture, with opportunities to contribute across quantum computing, machine learning, and algorithmic design. The post is intended for researchers who want to pursue ambitious problems in a fast-moving area and work within a broad network of quantum and AI collaborators.

What's required
Applicants must have a PhD in computer science, mathematics, quantum physics, quantum chemistry, or a closely related field. Strong mathematical or computational skills, a solid publication record, the ability to learn new concepts and techniques, independence in identifying scientific questions, and the ability to develop original approaches are expected. Candidates should also be able to work across disciplinary boundaries and collaborate effectively. Strong, creative, and responsible use of modern AI tools is an important selection criterion. English and French speakers are both welcomed.
How to apply
Submit the application through AcademicJobsOnline. Include an up-to-date CV, a 2–3 page research statement, and arrange for three reference letters to be submitted directly by referees through AcademicJobsOnline. Apply by 2026-12-13 for full consideration; review continues until the positions are filled.
