Postdoctoral Position in Particle Physics in Cambridge, Massachusetts at Harvard University

We invite applications for a Postdoctoral Fellow position in the intersection between quantum information and particle physics. The successful applicant will work in Professor Carlos Argelles’ group on the development of new algorithms to encode and process particle physics data in near-term era quantum computers. Applicants with backgrounds in quantum information or particle physics are both encouraged to apply.

Candidates with strong expertise in machine learning, quantum information, and/ or data analysis are strongly encouraged to apply, as these skills will be preferred in the selection process. This appointment duration is up to three years, with reappointment contingent upon funding and research collaboration. Please note that applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis and this position will remain open until filled, so a confirmation of decision may be somewhat delayed.
