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 their interface.

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 programs:

• P1: Systematic framework of functional theories for strongly correlated electrons (BeyondDFT)
• P2: OpenMolcas: Code development for quantum chemistry
• 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

Application deadline: 15 March 2026
