Job description:

The German Aerospace Center (DLR) and the University of Bremen are seeking a highly motivated and talented individual to join a collaborative research project as a Quantum Computing Researcher. This exciting opportunity is specifically designed for graduates who have completed their Master’s degree and are eager to embark on a research career in the field of ELSA (ethical, legal and social aspects) of quantum computing as part of a PhD project.

As a Quantum Computing Researcher, you will be part of a dynamic research project focused on the ethical analysis and evaluation of quantum computing as a disruptive technology. The project aims to make existing insights from theories of ethics and justice usable in the context of quantum computing and to derive from them recommendations for stakeholders in the fields of research, industry and politics. Your role will involve working closely with a team of experienced researchers from the DLR and the University of Bremen to evaluate and systematically interpret the ethical and social consequences of the development of quantum computing technologies, especially in relation to maritime and security related aspects.

Responsibilities:

• conducting research on the ELSA of quantum computing with a focus on applied ethics
• collaborating closely with a team of experienced researchers from the German Aerospace Center and the University of Bremen
• Transfer of insights from established theories of justice to the topic of quantum computing
• Analysis of the ethically relevant aspects of quantum computing and development of strategies for their management
• assisting in documenting research findings and contributing to research papers for publication in conferences and journals
• actively participate in regular project meetings, workshops, and conferences

This research center is part of the Helmholtz Association of German Research Centers. With more than 42,000 employees and an annual budget of over € 5 billion, the Helmholtz Association is Germany’s largest scientific organisation.
