We invite applications for postdoctoral associate or research associate positions in theoretical Quantum Information Science in the Virginia Tech Physics Department and the Center for Quantum Information Science and Engineering. The focus of these positions will be on quantum computing and quantum simulation, quantum networks, and quantum control.

The successful candidates will join a vibrant research environment in the quantum information groups of Profs. Sophia Economou and Edwin Barnes at Virginia Tech. There will be plenty of opportunities for collaboration with other members of the group, the Virginia Tech Quantum Center, and with some of the leading experimental and theory groups around the world. Our group is also part of the DOE Quantum Center “Codesign for quantum advantage” (https://www.bnl.gov/quantumcenter/), and there will be opportunities for collaboration with the researchers of the center. The Postdoctoral and Senior Research Associate positions will also involve opportunities for travel to present in conferences and to collaborate with other groups. Postdoctoral and Senior Research Associates will conduct research in the above areas and disseminate results in journal publications and conference presentations.
