Limited: 2 years | Starting date: earliest possible | ID: FHPO002/2025 | Deadline: 04.03.2025 | Full-time/Part-time
DESY, with more than 2900 employees at its two locations in Hamburg and Zeuthen, is one of the world's leading research centres. Its research focuses on decoding the structure and function of matter, from the smallest particles of the universe to the building blocks of life. In this way, DESY contributes to solving the major questions and urgent challenges facing science, society and industry. With its ultramodern research infrastructure, its interdisciplinary research platforms and its international networks, DESY offers a highly attractive working environment in the fields of science, technology and administration as well as for the education of highly qualified young scientists.
The CMS Quantum Computing group develops generative machine learning models for detector simulations, specifically the simulation of showers in calorimeters. Proof-of-principle models were successfully developed with methods of Quantum Machine Learning.
In a consortium with industrial partners, these existing algorithms will be implemented, further evolved and new algorithms developed in a full-stack mode, from the hardware through the middle-software to the higher algorithms.
- About your role:
- Implement and test the existing algorithms on the new quantum computing platform
- lmprove these algorithms in close communication with consortium partners
- Development of new algorlthms in co-design wlth the consortium partners
- Benchmarking the existing, improved and new algorithms
- Studies for scalability and development of up-scaled models
- Good reasons to join:
Look forward to a unique working environment on our international research campus. Respectful cooperation and the well-being of our DESY employees are particularly important to us. Gender equality is an important aspect for us. To support work life balance we offer flexible working hours, variable part-time, job-sharing models and participation in mobile work (up to 50%). You will benefit from our family-friendly and collegial atmosphere, our established health management and occupational pension provision. As a public funded employer, we offer you a secure workplace and facilitate your individual career with our comprehensive training and development opportunities. Remuneration is according to the regulations of the TV-AVH. DESY offers its employees a financial supplement for a German job ticket (Deutschland-Ticket) at both locations.
