The group led by Prof. Miyake at the University of New Mexico (UNM) embarks on a new project, which aims to apply explicitly correlated electronic structure theory in quantum chemistry to quantum algorithms and simulation. We are seeking potential postdoctoral candidates who have interests in both computational chemistry and quantum computation, ideally with some experience in numerical simulations.
Potential candidates should contact Akimasa Miyake (amiyake@unm.edu) for further information and details on this NSF-funded postdoctoral position. The website for the Miyake group is https://cquic.unm.edu/research/research-groups/miyake-research-group. Salaries will be competitive, and the position is available to start immediately in the academic year of 2020-2021.
Postdoctoral candidates will become part of the broader community of fellows at the Center for Quantum Information and Control (CQuIC, https://cquic.unm.edu) at UNM. They will also have collaborative opportunities with a nationwide team of NSF STAQ quantum computing project (https://staq.pratt.duke.edu), which co-designs state-of-the-art ion-trap quantum computers for practical applications.
