Applications are invited for a postdoctoral position at the Quantum
Computing and Optimization Laboratory (QCOL), Industrial and Systems
Engineering (ISE) Department, Lehigh University (
http://coral.ie.lehigh.edu/~QCOL), as part of a recently awarded $2.1
million DARPA grant (
https://engineering.lehigh.edu/news/article/21m-darpa-grant-puts-ise-faculty-vanguard-quantum-computing)
for research in optimization with Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum (NISQ)
devices. We seek outstanding candidates with a Ph.D. in operations
research, physics, computer science, applied mathematics, or related areas
with research experience in the general area of Quantum Computing (QC). In
addition, demonstrated proficiency in verbal and written communication
skills and the ability to work in a collaborative, multidisciplinary team
are required.

Some of the research directions that the QCOL is pursuing are related, but
not limited to: the development of new QC results/techniques to address the
solution of combinatorial optimization problems with NISQ devices, the
development of new QC interior point algorithms, and the study and control
of noise in NISQ devices. Through strong collaborations, QCOL has access to
state-of-the-art QC hardware and software.

Compensation will be commensurate with experience, and the position is for
one (1) year with the possibility of extension to a second year. Interested
applicants should submit a cover letter, curriculum vitae, a brief
statement of research accomplishments, and contact information for at least
three references to Prof. Tamas Terlaky <terlaky at lehigh.edu>.

Review of applications will begin immediately and will continue until the
position is filled.

Questions concerning the position can be directed to Prof. Tamas Terlaky,
ISE Department, at <terlaky at lehigh.edu>.

Among the nation’s premier research universities, Lehigh University is the
