Universiteit van Leiden
The Faculty of Science and the Leiden Institute of Advanced Computer Science (LIACS) are looking for candidates for a:Postdoctoral Researcher in Machine Learning for
Quantum Systems (0.8-1.0 FTE)We are looking for individuals with a curiosity-driven research record working at the intersection of machine learning (ML) and quantum many-body physics. We look for interest in developing interpretable, reliable, and scalable ML methods and applying them to quantum systems, such as ultracold quantum simulators.In this position, you will be encouraged to identify and tackle important challenges in quantum simulators, taking advantage of existing collaborations with leading experimental groups. You may join (and lead) existing collaborations aiming at scalable and practical Hamiltonian learning and detecting quantum phases of matter and their order parameters in exotic systems. You will be given scientific freedom to shape your own research agenda at the intersection of ML and quantum systems and will be supported by structured mentoring that includes career development plans guided by your plans after the postdoc. The starting date is flexible, the latest in October 2025.The successful candidate will work with Dr. Anna Dawid. The position is set in the exciting, friendly, and interdisciplinary environment of the aQa (applied quantum algorithms) group, which is a team of faculty, postdoctoral researchers, and students across the Leiden Institute for Advanced Computer Science (LIACS), the Leiden Institute of Physics (LION), the Leiden Institute for Chemistry (LIC), and the Leiden Mathematical Institute (MI) at the Leiden University.Key responsibilities
