About Butler University
Basic information and contact details for Butler University
This private university in Indianapolis, Indiana, was established in 1855 by attorney and abolitionist Ovid Butler on the principle that everyone, regardless of their race or gender, is entitled to a quality education.
Over the years more departments were added and Butler University became the first institution in the state of Indiana with a Department of English. Today there are over 65 major academic fields of study, as well as 18 master’s degree courses and a Doctor of Pharmacy program too.
The university’s 295-acre campus is located on the northwest side of Indianapolis and several university buildings have been designed by acclaimed architects, such as the Irwin Library, designed by the architect of the World Trade Centre Towers, Minoru Yamasaki. There are a number of halls of residence for the 4,600 students currently enrolled at Butler University.
International ties are a key part of the university and there are study abroad programs available in more than 70 countries, in institutions including Cardiff University, the University of Zurich, the Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro and the Hong Kong Institute of Education, among many others.
The Butler ArtsFest is a key date in the university calendar, presenting a showcase of dance, music, theatre, visual arts, talks and films for students and the public. Founders Week is another big celebration for Butler University, and in early February various events are staged to commemorate the university’s beginnings.
Some key figures in sports, culture, academia and politics have graduated from Butler University over the years, including Emmy award-winning orchestra conductor George Daugherty, author of internationally renowned play Chicago, and Major League Baseball player Dan Johnson.

Aalto University is a community of bold thinkers where science and art meet technology and business. We are committed to identifying and solving grand societal challenges and building an innovative future. Aalto has six schools with 14 000 students and a staff of 5000, of which more than 400 are professors. Our main campus is located in Espoo, Finland. Diversity is part of who we are, and we actively work to ensure our community’s diversity and inclusiveness. This is why we warmly encourage qualified candidates from all backgrounds to join our community. The Department of Computer Science is an internationally-oriented community and home to world-class research in modern computer science, combining research on foundations and innovative applications. With over 40 professors and more than 450 employees from 50 countries, it is the largest department at Aalto University and the leading computer science research unit in northern Europe. Computer science research at Aalto University ranks high in several international surveys (7th in Europe and 1st in the Nordics (NTU 2023); and 88th worldwide in Times Higher Education subject ranking 2025). We are now looking for three Postdoctoral Researchers to work on the theoretical foundations of distributed quantum computing. Our long-term objective is to understand which distributed tasks admit a quantum advantage, especially in the context of the LOCAL model of distributed computing, and what the fundamental limits are. Your network and team You will work in the research group of Jukka Suomela. This is one of the leading research groups in the areas of theory of distributed and parallel computing; our work frequently appears in the top conferences of the field (recently e.g. STOC, SODA, ICALP, PODC, and DISC), and we have received a number of awards, e.g. the best paper award at FOCS 2019. These positions are supported by an ERC Advanced Grant (Distributed Quantum Advantage, 2026–2031) and a QuantERA grant (Quantum Network Algorithms, 2026–2029); in the QuantERA consortium we have partners in Canada, Czechia, France, Germany, and Italy. Your experience and ambitions A successful candidate has a recent doctoral degree in a relevant area of theoretical computer science, mathematics, or physics, and an outstanding research track record as demonstrated by publications in leading conferences and journals. It is sufficient that you will receive your doctoral degree before the contract starts; you can apply for these positions already before you have your degree. We value expertise in domains such as graph algorithms, parallel algorithms, computational complexity theory, models of computing, automata theory, graph theory, discrete mathematics, probability theory and stochastics, and linear algebra. We also value skills in e.g. using computational techniques in TCS, familiarity with modern AI tools, familiarity with proof assistants such as Lean, good communication skills, and ability to work both independently and as a member of a large research team; a good command of English is necessary. You do not need to be yet an expert in distributed graph algorithms and quantum information theory, as long as you are familiar with the relevant areas of mathematics and are willing and able to learn. What we offer Our postdoc positions are fixed-term contracts for 1–3 years, with start dates between October 2026 and October 2027 (negotiable). The current salary for a postdoctoral researcher is 4229.48–4418.69 € per month depending on experience and qualifications.
