Research Fellow (Quantum-Enhanced Learning, Agents and Algorithms)

About the role

The Centre for Quantum Technologies (CQT) at Nanyang Technological University (NTU) is recruiting a Research Fellow in Quantum-Enhanced Learning, Agents and Algorithms. The successful candidate will carry out research at the intersection of quantum information science, machine learning, statistical learning theory, complexity science and quantum thermodynamics, contributing to new quantum algorithms, learning frameworks and intelligent quantum systems.

Key responsibilities

• Conduct independent and collaborative research in quantum information science, machine learning and related fields.
• Develop novel theoretical frameworks, algorithms and models for quantum-enhanced learning and intelligent agents.
• Publish in peer-reviewed journals and present findings at scientific conferences.
• Help prepare research proposals, grant applications and technical reports.
• Collaborate with researchers from diverse disciplines and support the supervision and mentoring of postgraduate students where appropriate.
• Take part in the Centre's research activities, seminars and academic initiatives.

Required profile

• PhD in Quantum Information, Theoretical Physics, Computer Science, Mathematics, Machine Learning or a closely related discipline.
• Demonstrated research experience with a strong publication record.
• Strong analytical, mathematical and problem-solving abilities, and excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• Ability to work independently and in multidisciplinary teams.

Advantageous: experience in quantum algorithms and computation, machine learning, statistical learning theory or reinforcement learning, quantum information theory, quantum resource theories and thermodynamics, variational quantum algorithms, quantum machine learning or complexity science. Only shortlisted candidates will be notified.
