Dear colleagues, I invite applications for one postdoctoral position, starting September 1 or as soon as possible, at Dalhousie University under my supervision. The successful applicant will be part of a government-funded research team spanning Dalhousie and several U.S. institutions. The overall goal of the project is "to design a quantum programming environment, and to accurately estimate and significantly reduce the computational resources required to implement quantum algorithms on a realistic quantum computer". Here at Dalhousie University, we will be primarily responsible for the design of a quantum programming language. The project is structured as a research contract with specific milestones and deadlines. The nominal start date for this project is August 1, 2011 (yes, this is in the past). Familiarity with the design of programming languages, type systems, and/or semantics will be a prerequisite for this postdoc. Familiarity with quantum computing will be helpful, but is neither necessary nor sufficient for this position - the main emphasis is on programming languages. Interested applicants should contact Peter Selinger at selinger@mathstat.dal.ca as soon as possible, and in any case before August 11. I can provide more details about the research project to interested applicants on request. Thanks, -- Peter
