Postdoctoral position in quantum algorithms / complexity, Riga (Latvia), Deadline: 1 Feb 2015

Postdoctoral positions in quantum algorithms/complexity

Applications are invited for postdoctoral positions in the group of Andris
Ambainis at the Faculty of Computing, University of Latvia. Our research
group is interested in the following research topics:
- quantum algorithms and complexity theory;
- quantum communication, quantum information theory and cryptography;
- connections between quantum computing and classical computer science
(using ideas from quantum information to solve classical problems);
- using ideas from quantum information to study physical systems.

We are looking for candidates with an interest in one or more of these
topics. Candidates can be:
- quantum information/quantum computing theorists interested in the topics
above or
- classical computer scientists interested in exploring the connections
between classical and quantum computer science;

Applicants should send their CV (including contact data of possible
references) to Andris Ambainis (ambainis@lu.lv). Applications received by
February 1, 2015 will receive full consideration; late applications will be
considered until the positions are filled. The appointment will be for a
period of 2 or 3 years.

The positions will be funded by an Advanced Grant from European Research
Council (ERC, Europe's organization for funding top-level scientists) and
grants from EU's Future and Emerging Technologies program.
