Dear QPoland team,

I am currently working at University of Malta, but spend 8 years in Poland as a postdoc.

Now, our group in Malta opened the following postdoc position: 

Postdoctoral Researcher in Quantum Randomness Certification  

The position is for a research project to develop a certifiable security hierarchy for Quantum Random Number Generators (QRNGs), enabling quantum randomness technologies to be classified and assessed against clearly defined, verifiable security levels.

The Postdoctoral Researcher will contribute to the scientific and technical execution of the project, including the development of certification frameworks and validation protocols for quantum randomness.

In addition, the successful candidate may become involved in other ongoing research activities within the Quantum Communications group at the University of Malta, including projects on quantum security proofs for Quantum Key Distribution (QKD), quantum channels, and quantum networks, depending on expertise and research interests.

Applicants must be in possession of a PhD in physics, mathematics, or computer science.

Applicants must demonstrate strong expertise in semidefinite programming (SDP), including practical experience with its implementation in Python or Julia. Prior knowledge of quantum information science will be considered an advantage, but it is not a strict requirement. Further information may be obtained from Dr. Roberto Salazar at roberto...@um.edu.mt and Prof. Johann Briffa at johann...@um.edu.mt

The initial remuneration per annum (inclusive of any cost-of-living adjustments) is €36,692 or €47,092 when the applicant has 3 years or more of experience after obtaining the PhD. We also provide generous travel funding.

With official call: FTRSOIIIorIV-208-GRYFFIN-Q-10.12.25.pdf
