Jobbannons

Örebro University and the School of Science and Technology are offering a doctoral student position in Computer Science. The position is expected to conclude with a doctoral degree (PhD. in Computer Science).

Start date: Spring 2026.

Project Description

This PhD project explores the foundations of tractable probabilistic models, i.e. machine learning models that support efficient and exact reasoning, and investigates their emerging connection to quantum machine learning. The overarching goal is to understand how principles that make classical models tractable, such as structured computation and controlled expressivity, can be extended or reinterpreted in a quantum information theoretic setting. By studying this intersection, the project aims to uncover unifying concepts that link classical and quantum approaches to efficient inference, paving the way for new models that remain both expressive and computationally well-behaved.

Application to the Programme and for the Doctoral Studentships

The application is made online. Click the button “Apply” to begin the application procedure.

For the application to be complete, the following electronic documents must be included:

• Description of research interests - explaining your research interest in the project and how your background fits the position (1 page)
• Curriculum vitae
• Independent project (degree project/thesis)
• Proof that you meet the general and specific entry requirements (e.g. copies of the original certificate and official transcript for bachelor's and master's degrees)
• Other relevant documents, course and degree certificates verifying eligibility

As a main rule, application documents and attachments are to be written in Swedish, Danish, Norwegian, or English. Certificates and documents in other languages verifying your qualifications and experience must be translated by an authorised translator to Swedish or English. A list of authorised translators can be obtained from Kammarkollegiet (the Legal, Financial and Administrative Services Agency), www.kammarkollegiet.se/engelska/start.

When you apply for admission, you automatically also apply for a doctoral studentship.
