We are looking for a Postdoctoral Researcher (Adjunct / Assistant Professor) to join the research group at the Center for Theoretical Physics of the Polish Academy of Sciences (CFT PAN), led by Dr. Eng. Patryk Lipka-Bartosik, within the project
“Thermodynamics of Information Processing: From Theory to Applications.”

The project aims to bridge fundamental research with technological applications in information thermodynamics – an interdisciplinary field at the crossroads of information theory, stochastic thermodynamics, and quantum physics.

The project will focus on three main research directions:

• Thermodynamic computing: development of physics-inspired alternative models of computation aimed at reducing energy consumption in information processing and machine learning (e.g., arXiv:2308.15905).

• Quantum phenomena in information processing: investigation of how quantum effects can be exploited to process information with higher energy efficiency (e.g., arXiv:2408.06418).

• Optimization of thermodynamic protocols: design of thermal machines utilizing collective quantum phenomena to achieve enhanced energy efficiency (e.g., arXiv:2411.00944).
