Job Description
Join Nexus Labs at the forefront of computational revolution. We're pioneering quantum algorithms that will redefine industries by 2026. As a Quantum Computing Research Scientist, you'll collaborate with Nobel laureates to develop error-corrected qubits and hybrid quantum-classical frameworks. Our Austin campus features state-of-the-art cryogenic systems and a 128-qubit processor. We offer competitive equity, flexible R&D budgets, and sabbatical programs for breakthrough discoveries.
Responsibilities
- Design and implement quantum algorithms for optimization and machine learning applications
- Develop error correction protocols to achieve fault-tolerant quantum computation
- Lead cross-functional teams in translating theoretical models into experimental implementations
- Author peer-reviewed publications and patent novel quantum methodologies
- Collaborate with hardware engineers to optimize quantum processor performance
- Present research findings at international conferences including IEEE Quantum Week
Qualifications
- PhD in Quantum Computing, Physics, or Computer Science (or equivalent research experience)
- Proficiency in quantum programming languages (Q#, Qiskit, or Cirq)
- Published research in quantum error correction or topological quantum computing
- Experience with superconducting or ion-trap quantum systems
- Strong background in linear algebra, group theory, and statistical mechanics
- Ability to secure federal research grants (NSF/DOE preferred)
