美国加州大学默赛德分校2023年招聘博士后职位（应用数学）

加利福尼亚大学（University of California），简称加州大学（UC），是美国加利福尼亚州拥有十个校区的大学系统，是世界上最具影响力的公立大学系统之一，被誉为“公立高等教育的典范”。

加州大学起源于1853年建立在奥克兰的加利福尼亚学院（College of California），1868年3月正式更名为“加州大学”。1873年，学校迁入新址，为了纪念18世纪最伟大的哲学家之一乔治·贝克莱，新的大学城被命名为“伯克利市”，此后逐渐在洛杉矶等地开设分校区。1952年起，“加州大学”作为一个行政系统逐渐与伯克利加州大学分离。与此同时，加州各地的分校区也逐渐升格为与伯克利平级的大学。

Position description

Prof. Harish S. Bhat (https:// faculty.ucmerced.edu/hbhat/) in Applied Mathematics at UC Merced is seeking applicants for a postdoctoral position focused on automated learning of reduced-order models for quantum dynamics. The postdoctoral scholar will work on new mathematical and computational methods to learn tractable models that accurately predict the dynamics of time-dependent quantum systems. Systems/problems of interest include electron dynamics, nuclear/spin dynamics, and optimizing coherence times for quantum circuits.

The postdoctoral scholar will contribute to methods that fuse first-principle modeling (including numerical analysis and scientific computing) with machine learning modeling of quantum Hamiltonian terms (e.g., using neural networks). To train these models, the postdoctoral scholar will develop and apply optimization methods that are constrained by time-dependent, physical dynamics with symmetries and invariants. The postdoctoral scholar will be free to develop and incorporate ideas from a diverse array of subfields including physics-constrained learning, equation discovery, dimensionality reduction, interpretable machine learning, geometric mechanics, and/or optimal control. The resulting methods will enable simulation and control of quantum systems that cannot be handled by currently available methods.

The postdoctoral scholar will work closely with Prof. Bhat and will also be co-mentored by Prof. Christine Isborn (Chemistry, UC Merced). The postdoctoral scholar will be expected to publish in peer-reviewed journals and proceedings, to develop and publish open-source software, to present research findings at conferences, and to work with graduate and undergraduate student researchers.
