I would like to advertise postdoctoral research positions in the Department of Mathematics at Bilkent University in Ankara in the research group of myself, Cihan Okay. The candidate is required to have a PhD in mathematics or a related area such as physics or computer science. The theme of the project is applications of topological methods to various questions arising in quantum information and computation. For the quantum foundations/information position the candidate will work on resource theories including quantum contextuality, stabilizer quantum computation, quantum correlations and their role in developing quantum algorithms, understanding the computational power of quantum computers, and applications to quantum cryptography. The algebraic topology connection is based on the topological framework on quantum contextuality and applications of classifying spaces for commutativity in Lie groups. For the algebraic topology position familiarity with  simplicial homotopy theory, category theory and computations of homotopical invariants would be a great asset. Applicants outside of algebraic topology but with good knowledge of graph theory, convex optimization theory or computational coding skills will be considered. Applications are through mathjobs (https://www.mathjobs.org/jobs/list/17454) and more details on the project can be found at http://bilkent.herokuapp.com/bilqit/published/HomePage.
