Dear all,

We are seeking to hire two PhD students with interest in quantum information and
mathematical optimization. The successful candidates will work closely with
Felix Huber (https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://huberfe.github.io/__;!!D9dNQwwGXtA!WgvK-Bz5nwLCYu78L7b6LFDaq1coC1w3asS0msiJsNUZqMgjesl_9jSKlPNQ5LSeHdyZk8TCv4R4thaY_ydAtSceteWVgDWCbB8C$ ) at the Division of Quantum Computing of
the University of Gdańsk.

Possible research topics are:

- approximation algorithms in QIT
- symmetry- and size reduction of polynomial optimization problems
- characterization of quantum codes and quantum capacities
- characterization of quantum correlations, entanglement, nonlocality
- machine learning for optimization problems

Candidates should have training or experience in the following areas: physics,
mathematics, informatics. The ideal candidate took courses on quantum
information and computation, mathematical programming, combinatorial
optimization, or coding theory. Programming experience (Python/Julia, Sage, GAP,
semidefinite programming) is a plus.

The positions are offered for 4 years, with a stipend of approx. 5000 PLN net +
3466 PLN gross (5000 PLN net + 5340 PLN gross after successful midterm
evaluation) and travel funding. The positions includes Polish social security
coverage, including health insurance.

Applicants can send their applications (CV, names + email of two references,
copy or link to MSc thesis, a motivation/cover letter is strongly encouraged,
signed data processing statement) with subject “NCN PhD” to:
felix.huber@ug.edu.pl
