About this position
This postdoctoral researcher position at the Center for Theoretical Physics of the Polish Academy of Sciences in Warsaw is embedded in a project on quantum computing and quantum algorithms, with a particular emphasis on methods for present and future quantum computing platforms. The successful candidate will join the CTP PAS quantum computing group led by Michał Oszmaniec and collaborate with partners in the QEC4QEA consortium.
The work combines theoretical and computational research. The researcher will develop methods, implement and test algorithms or proof-of-principle software, contribute to open or reusable research code, prepare scientific publications and project documentation, and support knowledge exchange within the project. The advert highlights a broad research scope that includes quantum technologies, algorithms and complexity, hybrid quantum–classical workflows, platform-agnostic high-performance computing applications, and the adaptation of theory to realistic quantum-device constraints.
The role is situated in a research institute with a broad theoretical physics profile, including quantum information, space and gravity, semiconductors, and atomic gases. The institute emphasises strong science, independence, collaboration, and a lively academic environment with seminars, workshops, and conferences.

What's required
Applicants must hold a PhD in physics, mathematics, computer science, quantum information, or a related field, or be able to document that the degree-awarding procedure is underway and complete the PhD before employment starts. A very strong background in theoretical quantum computing and quantum information science is required, together with relevant experience in at least one area such as quantum algorithms, variational and hybrid quantum-classical methods, quantum simulation, quantum machine learning, applications in quantum chemistry, measurement and tomography protocols, error mitigation, benchmarking, or classical simulation of quantum systems. Candidates should be able to combine analytical work with computational implementation, contribute to methods for current and future quantum computing platforms, and have a very good command of English. Experience in probability theory, mathematical physics, many-body systems, quantum optics, or high-dimensional methods is desirable, as are practical programming skills in Python, Julia, C++, Mathematica, or quantum software frameworks.
