The position is a temporary employment of maximum 3 years.
We are now looking for a postdoc who is motivated to join the HERO group at MDU. The group focuses on exploring the applications of Clifford algebra in quantum algorithms. The field of quantum computing is developing rapidly, but designing efficient and robust quantum algorithms remains a challenge. The project delves into Clifford algebra, a powerful mathematical tool, to design quantum algorithms.
The tasks consist of conducting high quality research both independently and in close collaboration with other researchers at MDU, communicating research results, organising seminars and meetings, and contributing to writing project applications.

The applicant is required to have a PhD degree in physics, Computer Science, Mathematics, or a closely related field.
The applicant must have completed the degree no more than three years before the end of the application period. You have not previously held a position as a postdoctoral researcher in the same or related subject area at MDU that exceeds one year.
The applicant has experience in algorithm design and analysis, preferably with a quantum computing bent. Programming proficiency in Python (Pytorch) or other relevant languages is required. The applicant is fluent in English, both written and spoken.
Assesment criteria
For this position special emphasis will be placed on in-depth understanding of abstract algebra, especially Clifford algebras. You have played a key role in publishing research findings in top-tier conference and journal.
In an overall assessment of suitability, emphasis is also placed on personal abilities. All employees at MDU are expected to cooperate and treat colleagues and students with respect, take responsibility for the organisation and their own work duties and contribute to a positive work environment.
