Job Description

Introduction

The is seeking candidates for a Limited Duration (up to 5 years) research staff.

Position, dedicated to the development and deployment of novel quantum-simulation algorithms. The position is in the context of the Next Generation Triggers Project (NGT). We are looking for outstanding theoretical physicists who can also connect these activities to the group’s existing research activities in particle physics and related areas. 

Core objectives:

quantum simulations on classical hardware; develop tensor network algorithms for quantum many-body problems; develop and deploy quantum circuit simulations for large systems O(100) qubits; develop quantum machine learning models for trigger applications; prototype tensor network simulations on FPGA using hls4ml.

Functions

Your main functions will include:

Engagement in co-development partnerships with experts in the EP and IT Departments of CERN, as well as with academia and industry to accelerate the achievement of the objectives; Reporting on the progress towards fulfilling specific work packages on a regular basis, and be active and communicate within the wider range of NGT activities; Making significant contributions to theoretical research related to elementary particle physics; Participating in and initiating a large variety of activities within the Theoretical Physics Department and possibly in collaboration with the experimental physicists working at CERN.

Qualifications

PhD or equivalent relevant experience in the field of theoretical physics or a related field.

Experience:

Demonstrated post-doctoral research activities which have led to scientific publications in peer-reviewed journals; Evidence of ability to make significant contributions to the work of the Organization.

Technical competencies:

Knowledge and application of computational and mathematical physics; Knowledge and application of particle physics, phenomenology; Thorough knowledge of theoretical physics; Proven track record in algorithm development for quantum computing.

Behavioural competencies:

Achieving Results; Solving Problems; Building Relationships; Creating Vision and Strategic Partnerships.

Language skills:
