Quantum Algorithms Scientist, Phasecraft

• A background in quantum computing is not necessarily required, though in this case a successful candidate will have evidence of the ability to design and implement advanced algorithms for optimization and/or constraint satisfaction
• Expertise in one or more of:
• Quantum information and/or computation theory
• Theory and implementation of classical algorithms for optimization or constraint satisfaction
• Quantum algorithm design and implementation
• Mathematical analysis of algorithms
• Proven track record of working independently on research projects
• Deep expertise and an excellent publication track-record in relevant discipline
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills and the ability to disseminate research results to technical and non-technical audiences
• Flexibility to work across different aspects of quantum algorithms, and to work on other tasks required to support the growth and success of the company
• An interest in near-term quantum computing

Desirable

• We are looking to hire a Quantum Algorithms Scientist to join our team
• The ideal candidate will have experience in the theory and/or implementation of optimization algorithms for gate-model quantum computers, or in classical optimization or constraint satisfaction algorithms; or otherwise strong evidence of potential to contribute to these areas
• Their work will initially focus on these topics, though they will have the opportunity to grow a portfolio of research activity across the breadth of Phasecraft’s interests
• Undertake theoretical and/or applied research and/or software development for near-term quantum computing applications, with an initial focus on quantum algorithms and software for combinatorial optimization and/or constraint satisfaction problems
• Help to author publications, presentations, patent applications and similar resulting from the research
• Work collaboratively in a small team made up of full-time staff and affiliated PhD students
• Work with stakeholders on collaborations applying quantum computing to optimization problems
• Other activities as required to support the growth and success of Phasecraft
