Research on quantum technologies is set to revolutionize several aspects of our life, including how we process information. In the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science at Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e), the Netherlands, there is a vacancy for a 2 year postdoctoral position on the topics of quantum error correction, quantum graph theory, and quantum information theory. The vacancy will remain open until the position is filled.

This postdoc position is jointly supervised by Alberto Ravagnani (https://a.ravagnani.win.tue.nl) and Aida Abiad (https://aidaabiad.win.tue.nl) and it is funded by the Eindhoven Hendrik Casimir Institute for quantum technologies. The position is hosted by the Mathematical Communication Theory group (https://mct.win.tue.nl).

You will have the opportunity to contribute to and shape research directions at the crossroad of quantum information theory, quantum graph theory, and quantum error correction. You will bridge the Algebraic Combinatorics and the Mathematical Communication Theory groups, establishing and leading new interdisciplinary collaborations. You will bridge the Mathematical Communication Theory group and the Eindhoven Hendrik Casimir Institute.

• You have a PhD in Mathematics or related disciplines.
• Familiarity with coding theory and graph theory. Ideally, familiarity with quantum information theory and/or quantum graph theory.
• Ability to conduct high quality academic research, reflected in demonstratable outputs.
• A team player who enjoys coaching Master's students and working in a dynamic, interdisciplinary team.
• Ability to take the lead and take initiative in research collaborations.
• A proven ability to manage complex projects to completion on schedule.
