Offer Description

The successful candidate will work on current or future projects as a part of the ICHEC Quantum Computing Activity which is one of the leading Quantum Computing Programmes in Ireland and Europe, working in close collaboration with national and international research groups and enterprise partners in the area of quantum computing technologies and its application.

Duties:

The successful candidate will have the opportunity to

  • work on R&D projects for modelling and simulation of systems (e.g. physics, electronic structure, noise) on quantum computer or simulator platforms (software emulated or hardware);

  • work in close collaboration with external partners from research organisations and industry;

  • interact with other tasks and project partners to gather requirements, discuss design and implementation;

  • contribute to developing learning material and tutorials for training courses;

  • contribute to other quantum computing projects and skills development activities at ICHEC at national and European levels.

  • Any other duties assigned commensurate to this level of post.

This is a role for a highly motivated problem-solver, with a creative and analytical mind to build new solutions that will have a global impact.

Qualifications/Skills required:

Essential Requirements:

  • A Masters with 4 years of relevant experience or a Ph.D. in a domain relevant to quantum information, quantum computing, quantum algorithms, or similar (including tutoring, teaching).

  • Experience in modelling and simulating quantum many-body systems (e.g. Hubbard, Heisenberg, Kitaev, or similar models) and/or principles of electronic structure (quantum chemistry) calculations.

  • Demonstrable experience in one of the following languages: Python, C, C++, Julia, or similar.

  • Exposure to at least one quantum programming or software development toolkit/framework such as IBM Qiskit, Atos QLM, Intel-QS, Google Cirq, Xanadu Pennylane, or others.

    • Desirable Requirements:

  • Exposure to classical machine learning, natural language processing, neural networks, graph algorithmics.

  • Exposure to quantum algorithms (e.g. search, optimisation, QML), quantum computer/simulator modelling and/or noise characterisation.
