About the role

Los Alamos National Laboratory is seeking outstanding candidates to join the CAI Division for research in quantum computing, quantum algorithm engineering, AI for quantum algorithm design, and quantum machine learning. The role focuses on advancing quantum simulation using theoretical and computational methods and on developing AI-driven workflows to optimize quantum algorithms for fault-tolerant quantum computers.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
