The GWDG is seeking a

Quantum Computing Trainer and Consultant (m/f/d)

to join an interdisciplinary team of HPC experts in the working group “Computing” (AG C) with a regular working weekof 39 hours (100%). Remuneration is in accordance with the collective agreement for the German public service(federal government); depending on qualifications, the position will be grade E 13. The position is suitable for part-timework and initially limited to four years. The GWDG strives for long-term cooperation. If interested, there is thepossibility of a doctorate.

The Gesellschaft für wissenschaftliche Datenverarbeitung mbH Göttingen (GWDG) is the university computing centerfor the Georg-August-Universität Göttingen and a computing and IT competence center for the Max Planck Society.The provision of high-performance HPC systems has been one of its tasks for over 40 years. In 2020, the Universityof Göttingen / GWDG was accepted as one of eight computing centers in the National High-Performance Computing(NHR) network. The GWDG operates the HLRN-IV system “Emmy”, which is one of the most powerful computers inthe world.

As a national supercomputing center, the GWDG provides technical support to researchers and students from variousscientific domains, including earth system science, life science, and engineering. We also participate in both nationaland international research projects. At the same time, we aim to improve our close collaboration with the GermanAerospace Center (DLR) and specialized computing centers, including the German Climate Computing Center(DKRZ) and the Institute for Advanced Simulation Jülich (IAS-JSC).

To add a new chapter to our commitment to providing innovative technical services, we are looking for a highlymotivated candidate to be part of the QUICS (Quantum Innovation and Computing for SME) project. QUICS aims toprovide low-threshold, secure, and reliable access to quantum resources for SMEs via an online portal. In addition toproviding access, the goal is also to support companies by training them in different quantum technologies. Therefore,the successful candidate should have prior experience with using quantum technologies to solve problems in variousdomains and have experience in training and consulting.

The GWDG, along with the Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science and the Campus Institute Data Science(CIDAS) of the University of Göttingen, provides a stimulating research environment in Scientific Computing, with anopportunity to conduct research at the intersection of applied computer science, High-Performance Computing,Quantum Computing, and AI.
