• Interface of PhoQS to the Paderborn Center for Parallel Computing (PC2) of the Paderborn University
• Supporting users, especially in the natural sciences, in the development and implementation of quantum algorithms
• Optimisation of quantum software platforms for photonic and gate-based quantum computing such as Strawberry Fields, Parceval or Qiskit in collaboration with HPC experts of the PC2
• Organisation and delivery of tutorials and workshops on the use of quantum software plat-forms (basic to advanced)
• Leading a team for the technical integration of quantum computing and high-performance computing
Hiring requirements:
• Completed PhD in computer science, mathematics or physics or comparable qualification
• Solid understanding of many-body quantum mechanics
• Practical experience in high-performance computing and/or in the use of quantum software platforms
• High motivation and willingness for interdisciplinary cooperation between computer science and physics
