About this opportunity

The Computer Vision Center (CVC) in Barcelona, Spain, is hiring a postdoctoral researcher to work on quantum machine learning, with a call reference of 20260729_QuCV. The position sits at the intersection of two fast-moving fields: computer vision and quantum computing. You would be developing algorithms that use quantum properties to improve how machines process and understand visual data. CVC was founded in 1995 as a non-profit research center by the Generalitat de Catalunya and the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB). It has grown into one of Europe's leading computer vision labs, with around 150 researchers working on projects ranging from medical imaging to autonomous driving. The center publishes regularly in top conferences like CVPR and ICCV, and it maintains strong ties with both industry partners and other academic institutions across Europe. Working here means joining a large, active research community rather than a small isolated team. Barcelona offers a solid environment for a research career. The city has a mild Mediterranean climate with over 300 sunny days a year, and the cost of living runs lower than most other major Western European tech hubs. A typical postdoc salary goes further here than in Paris or London. Spain's visa process for researchers is straightforward, especially for those coming from EU countries, and non-EU applicants can usually secure a work permit within a few months. English is the working language in most research groups at CVC, though learning some Spanish or Catalan helps with daily life outside the lab. This role suits someone with a PhD in physics, computer science, or a related field who already has hands-on experience with quantum computing frameworks. You should be comfortable with both the theoretical side of quantum information and the practical side of implementing algorithms on real quantum hardware. The position is research-focused, so expect to spend most of your time designing experiments, writing code, and publishing papers.

Benefits

Full-time postdoctoral research position at a leading European computer vision center
Access to CVC's computing infrastructure and research facilities
Opportunity to collaborate with UAB faculty and international research partners
Publication support and travel funding for conferences
Located in Barcelona, with a lower cost of living than most other Western European tech hubs

Eligibility

PhD in physics, computer science, mathematics, or a closely related field
Strong background in quantum computing, including familiarity with quantum circuits and algorithms
Experience with machine learning frameworks such as PyTorch or TensorFlow
Programming skills in Python or a similar language
Research track record demonstrated through peer-reviewed publications
Ability to work in an international, English-speaking research environment

Required Documents

Curriculum vitae with a full list of publications
Cover letter explaining your research interests and fit for the position
Contact details for at least two academic references
Copy of your PhD diploma or proof of completed defense
