Dear colleagues and friends,
We currently have several openings for PhD and postdoc positions in quantum information and theoretical computer science. I would be grateful if you could share the below with your group, and with anyone else who might be interested. Many thanks and happy holidays!
Best wishes,
Michael

PhD and Postdoc Positions on Symmetries and Optimization at the Frontiers of Computation (ERC project - deadline Jan 6, 2023)
We are inviting applications for several fully-funded PhD and postdoctoral positions as part of the ERC project "Symmetry and Optimization at the Frontiers of Computation (SYMOPTIC)".
- Are you fascinated by what can be computed efficiently and what not?
- Are you interested in finding hidden symmetries behind computational problems?
- Would you like to design new optimization algorithms that exploit symmetries, to solve problems from machine learning to combinatorial optimization?
- Or understand if quantum computers can solve such problems in genuinely different ways?
- Have you ever wondered about Riemannian convexity – or about algebra and its complexity?
- Would you like to creatively combine ideas from different areas to make progress on central questions in the theory of computing?
If your answer to any of these questions is yes, then we hope that you will apply! Please see

PhD and Postdoc Positions in Quantum Information (deadline Jan 6, 2023)
We are inviting applications for several fully-funded PhD and/or postdoctoral positions in all areas of quantum information, to work on fundamental research projects in quantum information, quantum computing, quantum cryptography, quantum software, or related
topics.
In addition to exciting research projects and a friendly and stimulating work environment, we can offer a generous travel budget that allows for attending relevant conferences and summer schools to present your work to the international community, visiting
collaborators, etc. Please see
https://qi.rub.de/hiring_qi for more information.
PhD Position Quantum-Safe Internet (Marie Curie ITN - still accepting applications)
Together with the group of Cryptology, we are inviting applications for a fully-funded PhD position as part of the Marie Curie Innovative Training Network "Quantum-Safe Internet (QSI)", to work on algorithms for classical and quantum cryptanalysis.
You will be part of a network involving top-ranking universities from Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain, Switzerland, and the UK, as well as industrial partners. At Bochum, you can expect an excellent research environment, including
the Center of Excellence CASA and the Max-Planck Institute for Security and Privacy. Please see
