The main difference between a Remote Hpc Engineer and a Remote Cloud Engineer lies in their focus areas. Hpc Engineers specialize in high-performance computing systems used for scientific and research purposes, while Cloud Engineers focus on designing and managing cloud-based infrastructure. Both roles require technical expertise and certifications, but their work environments and industry applications differ significantly.

We seek a postdoctoral associate to develop and prototype frameworks that integrate quantum computing resources with high performance computing (HPC) systems. The project will focus on extending the C++ based HPX runtime (hpx.stellar-group.org) to orchestrate hybrid quantum classical and quantum-simulation workloads, enabling scalable quantum accelerated algorithms for scientific and engineering applications. The position offers a strong interdisciplinary environment, opportunities for collaborative publications, and the chance to build an independent research profile at the computational-physics interface.
Job Responsibilities:
Research and Development: Design and implement HPX extensions that schedule quantum kernels on remote quantum processors alongside classical tasks. Develop C++ libraries and APIs that expose quantum circuit execution, error mitigation, and data movement. Benchmark hybrid workloads. (65%)
Collaboration: Work with faculty, students, and external partners on interdisciplinary initiatives aimed at applications in quantum computing; contribute to joint problem-solving and co-mentorship of graduate students. (20%)
Dissemination: Prepare manuscripts for peer-reviewed publications, technical reports, and presentations at national/international conferences. (10%)
Other duties as assigned. (5%)
Minimum Qualifications:
Ph.D in Computer Science, Physics, Electrical Engineering, or related field. Expert level C++ (C++17/20) and experience with parallel runtime systems, preferably HPX. Also, Hands on experience with quantum programming frameworks (Qiskit, Cirq, or similar) and understanding of quantum algorithms.
Additional Job Description:Special Instructions:Please provide a cover letter, resume, and three (3) professional references including name, title, phone number, and e-mail address.Background Check - An offer of employment is contingent on a satisfactory pre-employment background check.
Benefits - LSU offers outstanding benefits to eligible employees and their dependents including health, life, dental, and vision insurance; flexible spending accounts; retirement options; various leave options; paid holidays; wellness benefits; tuition exemption for qualified positions; training and development opportunities; employee discounts; and more!
