PhD in Quantum Computing at Covestro Leverkusen/Cologne Germany
Application deadline:
Wednesday, March 31, 2021
We offer a fully funded three year PhD position in quantum
computing for computational chemistry in an extraordinary
environment.
During your doctorate, you will work in our quantum computing team
(lead by Dr. Christian Gogolin) and computational quantum chemistry in
the Digital Research & Development department of
Covestro, while benefiting from the scientific
environment at the University of Cologne, which will
also grant the degree. The PhD will contribute to a BMBF
(Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung – German ministry for
education and research) funded research project in partnership with
experimental quantum computing groups at the Universities of
Mainz and Heidelberg. In addition there will be the opportunity
to contribute to a multi-year collaboration between Covestro and
Google AI Quantum. With this setup, you will get the
opportunity to work on a cutting edge technology and do basic science
and research, but will also acquire industry experience.
In your three years here you will be a part of the diverse,
international, and interdisciplinary Digital R&D team at Covestro
and will perform the following tasks:
- You will learn about quantum computing and work on quantum
algorithm development and quantum programming through hands on
experience - You will learn and apply classical computational chemistry
methods - You will collaborate with people towards the goal of pushing
boundaries in quantum computing research - Moreover, you will contribute
to estimating and realizing the potential of quantum computing for
research and development in the chemical industry - As an additional
benefit you will acquire scientific programming, software development,
and high performance computing skills - Finally, you will communicate
the results of your work to the team and publish them in scientific
journals for the wider research community
This position is designed for three years, with a flexible starting
date. Review of applications will start immediately.
WHAT YOU OFFER
- You are a curious person and strongly interested in doing research
- You hold a Master’s degree in Computer Science, Physics, Chemistry,
Mathematics, Data Science or similar, or have comparable relevant prior
experience in these areas - You have experience with software
development in Python, and have already experimented with one of the
quantum computing libraries - You have experience with and interest in
learning software development workflows and tools - To complete your
profile, your command of English is excellent
