Job summary

The Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences at UiO invites applications for a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Quantum Machine Learning for Multimode Mechanics (QM3L / QuantERA 2025). The three‑year position is hosted by the Department of Physics in Oslo and collaborates with ETH Zürich, Aalto University, TU Darmstadt, and Palacký University.

The postdoc will develop ML‑assisted methods for Hamiltonian discovery and control in multimode quantum systems, and contribute to open‑source software,

Qualifications

• A Norwegian doctoral degree in physics or a closely related area, or a degree submitted for evaluation by the application date.
• Strong background in at least two of: quantum optics/quantum information/open quantum systems; quantum control/optimal control; machine learning (including deep learning and/or reinforcement learning); numerical simulation of quantum dynamics.

Responsibilities

• Develop ML‑assisted Hamiltonian discovery/engineering methods for multimode bosonic and hybrid quantum systems (including open‑system and non‑Hermitian effects).
• Design noise‑resilient control and optimization strategies, including reinforcement learning and optimal control for state preparation and measurement protocol design under hardware constraints.
• Develop open‑source software and documented benchmarks.
• Co‑author high‑quality publications and contribute to consortium deliverables and reporting; participate in partner visits, workshops, and training activities.
