Offer Description

Quantum information is a strategic focus of CNRS, highlighted in the 2019-2023 Objectives and Performance Contract and part of the PEPR Quantum Technologies project, which CNRS co-pilots.

This junior professorship aims to develop tools at the interface of computer science and physics to understand realistic quantum systems for future applications of quantum information principles.

The four host laboratories (CPHT, LIG, LIX, LPMMC) emphasize this theme in their scientific policies. The successful candidate will collaborate with active research groups across these labs.

While significant progress has been made on ideal, large-scale, error-free quantum computers, current technology limits us to small, imperfect devices. Understanding these systems can lead to breakthroughs.

The tenure track seeks a researcher in theoretical physics and/or computer science focusing on such systems, including assessing their computational potential, improving their accuracy, adapting algorithms, or understanding their robustness and dynamics through various analytical tools. Candidates should propose a research project aligned with the host laboratories.

The candidate should also propose a teaching project (42 hours) related to the theme, to be discussed with the university of the hosting laboratory.

CNRS promotes open science, aiming for full accessibility of research outputs via repositories like HAL, and encourages data sharing, with restrictions only when necessary. Evaluation metrics are aligned with the DORA declaration, emphasizing qualitative assessment.

Results dissemination will include publications, patents, software, and outreach activities targeting scientific communities, media, policymakers, the public, schools, etc., through various communication tools.

The project emphasizes science-society links, contributing to public decision-making and participatory science initiatives with socio-economic actors.

Applicants should hold a doctorate or equivalent; there are no restrictions on age or nationality. CNRS positions are accessible to people with disabilities, with accommodations as needed.
