• Experience with research on quantum and hybrid quantum‑classical algorithms for solving partial differential equations
• Implementation, testing and benchmarking of computational methods on high‑performance computing and quantum computing platforms
• Analysis and validation of results using classical reference models and simulation data
• Documentation of research results and contribution to scientific publications and project reports

Your profile:

• Completed university studies (Master Aper Mittag) in Physics, Applied Mathematics, Computer Science, Computational Modeling and Simulation or a related field
• Numerical solution of partial differential equations
• Scientific computing / high‑performance computing
• Algorithmic modeling and simulation
• Fundamentals of machine learning or quantum computing
• Ability to work independently and in a structured manner
• Strong analytical thinking and problem‑solving skills
• Willingness to collaborate in interdisciplinary research teams
• Good written and oral communication skills
• Motivation to engage in scientific research and method development
• Programming skills in Python and/or C/C++
• Experience with scientific software tools and numerical libraries
• Familiarity with Linux‑based computing environments
• English language proficiency (written and spoken)

Our offer:

• A vibrant research community in an open, diverse and international work environment
• Scientific excellence and extensive professional networking opportunities
• A structured PhD program with a comprehensive range of continuing education and networking opportunities – more information about the PhD program at the HZDR can be found here
• Salary and social benefits in accordance with the collective agreement for the public sector (TVöD‑Bund) including 30 days of paid holiday leave, company pension scheme (VBL)
• We support a good work‑life balance with the possibility of part‑time employment, mobile working and flexible working hours
• Numerous company health management offerings
