[Postdoctoral positions] We are seeking highly motivated postdoctoral researchers to join our team in the areas of quantum error-correcting codes, fault-tolerant quantum computation, and algorithm–hardware co-design (including FPGA acceleration).
Candidates should hold a Ph.D. in Physics, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or Mathematics. A strong background in coding theory, decoding algorithms, and numerical simulations is essential.
In addition, candidates with experience in automated code generation, high-level synthesis, or machine learning / neural network methods for algorithm design or acceleration are strongly encouraged to apply.
Please submit your CV and arrange for two reference letters to be sent directly to cylai@nycu.edu.tw.
[誠徵博士後研究] 以量子計算與量子編碼理論為核心，進行演算法與理論分析研究，並以 FPGA、GPU 或軟體平台上進行效能驗證與加速實作。具備程式設計能力與編碼理論背景者尤佳。
