The Institute for Photonic Quantum Systems (PhoQS) at Paderborn University is an internationally regarded Research Center dedicated to photonic quantum technologies from fundamental research to practical applications. The aim is to and develop both novel technologies for photonic quantum applications and the underlying theories and concepts, with a particular focus on the understanding and control of photonic quantum simulators and quantum computers. PhoQS provides a highly interdisciplinary environment, with scientists from physics, mathematics, electrical engineering, and computer science working together to further the second quantum revolution.
Within the scope of PhoQS, the Institute of Mathematics, part of the Faculty of Computer Science, Electrical Engineering and Mathematics, is seeking to fill the following position at the earliest opportunity:

We seek a junior research group leader with research focus in Mathematical Physics, whose research
expertise further strengthens the theoretical expertise in Quantum Information Theory and Quantum
Technologies at the Institute of Photonic Quantum Systems (PhoQS). At Paderborn University, Junior Research Group Leaders are offered an attractive research environment to support their excellent fledging academic career. Suitable candidates for the position will have already demonstrated excellent scientific
achievements (commensurate with the stage of career). The new Junior Research Group Leader is expected
