At Bosch, we shape the future by inventing high-quality technologies and services that spark enthusiasm and enrich people’s lives. Our promise to our associates is rock-solid: We grow together, we enjoy our work, and we inspire each other. Welcome to Bosch.

The Robert Bosch GmbH is looking forward to your application!

Quantum computing potentially offers orders of magnitude faster quantum-mechanical calculations for materials simulation at a much higher accuracy than classical ab-initio methods on conventional high-performance computers. It also allows true computational design of, e.g. new materials to improve catalytic processes or understanding of degradation phenomena on the atomistic level, which enables the knowledge-based optimization of load, process and operation conditions in devices like fuel cells.

• In this PhD thesis you will focus on the development and testing of hybrid quantum-classical workflows, simulation tools as well as quantum-algorithms.
• The research of relevant models for simulating industrially relevant materials on a near-term quantum computer is also part of your area of responsibility.

• Education: excellent degree in Physics, Chemistry, or Computational Science with focus in theoretical solid-state Physics, Quantum Mechanics, Quantum Computing or related fields
• Experience and Knowledge: additional knowledge and experience in density functional theory, Hubbard models or quantum circuits is a benefit, excellent communication skills, programming experience (e.g., python, Fortran, C)
• Personality and Working Practice: you are not only an open and outgoing team player but also a self-motivated, curious and inquisitive person who likes to use their creativity; you also know how to work independently, quickly understand logical processes and always keep an eye on the goals
• Languages: business fluent in English, knowledge in German desired
