美國(guó)加州大學(xué)默賽德分校2023年招聘博士后職位（應(yīng)用數(shù)學(xué)）
加利福尼亞大學(xué)（University of California），簡(jiǎn)稱加州大學(xué)（UC），是美國(guó)加利福尼亞州擁有十個(gè)校區(qū)的大學(xué)系統(tǒng)，是世界上最具影響力的公立大學(xué)系統(tǒng)之一，被譽(yù)為“公立高等教育的典范”。
加州大學(xué)起源于1853年建立在奧克蘭的加利福尼亞學(xué)院（College of California），1868年3月正式更名為“加州大學(xué)”。1873年，學(xué)校遷入新址，為了紀(jì)念18世紀(jì)最偉大的哲學(xué)家之一喬治·貝克萊，新的大學(xué)城被命名為“伯克利市”，此后逐漸在洛杉磯等地開(kāi)設(shè)分校區(qū)。1952年起，“加州大學(xué)”作為一個(gè)行政系統(tǒng)逐漸與伯克利加州大學(xué)分離。與此同時(shí)，加州各地的分校區(qū)也逐漸升格為與伯克利平級(jí)的大學(xué)。

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.
