Postdoc Positions in the Theoretical Quantum Sciences

Postdoc Positions in the Theoretical Quantum Sciences

LMU Munich/University of Geneva

Applications are invited from outstanding and highly motivated postdoctoral candidates with a background in theoretical and computational chemistry, quantum information theory, many‑body physics, quantum computing, or mathematical physics to contribute to frontier research at the interface of these fields.

The positions are embedded in an ERC Consolidator Grant‑funded research programme BeyondDFT. The Schilling group is expected to relocate on 1 September 2026 to the University of Geneva. Depending on fit and available funding, involvement is possible in one or more of the following long‑term research programmes:

• P1: Systematic framework of functional theories for strongly correlated electrons (BeyondDFT)
• P3: Tensor network methods for quantum chemistry
• P4: Foundations of quantum computing: fermionic systems
• P5: Quantum information theory for fermions

Expected start date: Flexible, ideally 1 September 2026
