SandboxAQ Residency Programs

If you’re a graduate student or postdoc in STEM and want to bring the new era of AI + Quantum to the world, join our residency program at SandboxAQ.

‍AQ is a place where the brightest, free-thinking minds from across disciplines come together to build technologies at the intersection of artificial intelligence and quantum technologies.

We have hosted residents from more than 15 countries, including Australia, Canada, France, Spain, the UK, and the USA, and are looking for opportunities to expand the program further.

It is essential we have a diverse range of voices involved in building responsible technologies that impact a lot of people. We depend on each other to cultivate an environment that values innovative and open collaboration.

‍

Projects for SandboxAQ Residents are defined collaboratively with our scientists and engineers and span the following areas:

Quantum Security

Improve the security of global data infrastructure against Store Now Decrypt Later attacks. Migrate from RSA and ECC to quantum-resistant cryptosystems.

Quantum Sensing

Build and scale the next generation of quantum sensors to better understand the world around us. Combine AI tools with data from new quantum sensing devices to impact sectors such as the life sciences, navigation, and geophysics.

Quantum Simulation & Optimization

Combine advanced physics-based and AI algorithms with the accelerated hardware of today to solve challenging problems. Develop hybrid quantum/classical applications to more accurately model our world (e.g. drug discovery, materials science).

Artificial Intelligence

Train and deploy models based on techniques from the many branches of AI such as deep learning, SciML, signal processing, image classification, natural language processing and reinforcement learning.

Learning Science + Education

Support our network of educators to create content on quantum mechanics, linear algebra, cryptography, machine learning and other disciplines.

Location

Remote

Residents and their SandboxAQ team can mutually arrange for either remote or on-site residencies at several locations globally. Residents focused on photonics hardware may be based at our lab near Stanford University in the Bay Area.

Start Date

Year-round
on a rolling basis

Duration

3-12 months

This role may be fulfilled full time, part time, or a combination depending on the needs of the resident and the team.

Eligibility:

Within 12 months of being enrolled in a PhD or postdoc program in any STEM field including: physics, chemistry, cybersecurity, computer science, machine learning, mathematics, pharmacology, engineering, material science and other STEM areas.
Graduate students pursuing masters degrees and MDs are also welcome to apply.
Proficiency with at least one programming language (Python, C/C++, Matlab, etc.)
