Currently, PhD as well as Postdoc positions are available in our Quantum Information and Quantum Many-Body Physics group, led by Norbert Schuch.

Topics of interest cover the whole range from quantum information and computation to quantum many-body physics, with a focus on tensor networks and related methods.

Research topics covered in the group include:

• Theory of tensor networks, classification of phases
• Development of tensor network algorithms and simulation methods for quantum many-body systems
• Topological order and spin liquids
• Quantum Algorithms (in particular for the simulation of many-body problems and for NISQ devices)
• Entanglement Theory
• Mathematical theory of quantum many-body systems
• Quantum Complexity Theory

More information on our group's topics can be found on our research pages.

Successful candidates will be associated either with the Department of Physics or the Department of Mathematics, depending on their background and interests.

Applications should be emailed to schuch-office.quantum@univie.ac.at and contain the following:

• For PhD applicants: A comprehensive CV (including certificates & grades from bachelor and master studies), a brief cover letter (max. 1 page), explaining the motivation for joining the group, and the contact data of at least one referee who can provide a letter of recommendation upon request; preferably all in one PDF file.
  Subject: PhD Application 
• For Postdoc applicants: A comprehensive CV (including a list of publications & talks), relevant certificates and grades, a brief description of future research plans (about 2-3 pages), and the contact data of at least two referees who can provide a letter of recommendation upon request; preferably all in one PDF file.
  Subject: Postdoc Application

Deadline for initial consideration is January 23rd, 2023, but later applications will be considered until the positions are filled. Starting dates are flexible.
