About the role
- Argonne National Laboratory is seeking a scientist to help advance the emerging field of networked and distributed quantum computing.
- This position offers the opportunity to shape new architectures, software systems, simulation capabilities, and experimental workflows for connecting quantum devices with classical computing and networking infrastructure.
- The successful candidate will work in a collaborative, multidisciplinary environment that brings together expertise in quantum information science, computer systems, networking, high-performance computing, and scientific applications.
Responsibilities
- Develop models, algorithms, simulation capabilities, and research software for the design and evaluation of networked quantum systems.
- Build collaborations across disciplines and institutions and provide technical leadership within multidisciplinary research teams.
Requirements
- D emonstrated ability to define and pursue significant research directions and conduct research with substantial independence.
- Ability to work effectively in multidisciplinary research teams and communicate technical results clearly through publications, presentations, and interactions with research, sponsor, and broader stakeholder audiences.
- Ability to model Argonne's core values of impact, safety, respect, integrity and teamwork.
- Desired but Not Required Qualifications
- Knowledge of quantum communication protocols, entanglement generation and distribution, quantum repeaters, quantum memories, or quantum error management.
- Experience with system architecture, resource allocation, scheduling, control-plane design, or orchestration for distributed or quantum computing systems.
- Experience integrating quantum-system models with classical networking, high-performance computing, or scientific workflow environments.
- Experience collaborating with experimental quantum researchers or evaluating software and architectural concepts using experimental systems.
- Experience leading technical tasks or coordinating research activities across multiple institutions or disciplinary teams.
- Experience preparing research proposals or contributing to sponsored research programs.
- Quantum networking, d istributed quantum computing, q uantum computer systems or architectures, q uantum-network simulation, c omputer networks or distributed systems, p erformance modeling of computing or communication systems.
- Record of scientific or technical accomplishment demonstrated through peer-reviewed publications, significant research software, technical systems, datasets, patents, or comparable research artifacts.
- Evidence of professional visibility or external recognition appropriate to career stage, such as invited presentations, widely used software, leadership in collaborative research, professional service, awards, or citations of published work.
- Experience developing research software using Python, C, C++, or comparable programming languages.
- Experience developing or using quantum-network or distributed-quantum-computing simulators.
Nice to have
- RD3: Ph.D. in computer science, electrical or computer engineering, physics, applied mathematics, or a closely related field, plus at least 4 years of relevant research experience.
Compensation
- Please note that the pay range information is a general guideline only.
Visa & Work Authorization
- Formulate new research directions and contribute to research proposals, sponsor interactions, project planning, and execution of externally funded programs
