PhD

A fully-funded PhD student position is available at the Department of Mathematics at Nottingham Trent. The studentship will pay UK fees (currently set at £4121 for 2016/17 and are revised annually) and provide a maintenance stipend linked to the RCUK rate (this is revised annually and is currently £14,296 for academic year 2016/17) for up to three years. The project can be started in the Summer 2017.

We invite applications for experimental and theoretical post-doctoral researchers in the field of quantum optics, cold atoms, atom spectroscopy, and atom vapor cells. We offer a highly stimulating and energetic environment for experimental and theoretical atomic physicists and very competitive offers for both domestic and international applicants, including generous re-location packages. Applicants should have extensive experience in atomic physics and ultra-cold atoms.

At the Hector Fellow Academy you get the opportunity to realize a self-developed research project under supervision of Hector Fellow Prof. Immanuel Bloch. The Hector Fellows are a community of outstanding professors from different research institutions across Germany. They have been honored by the Hector Foundation for their merit in research and teaching within natural sciences, informatics, mathematics, medicine / psychology and engineering. At the Academy they pass on their expertise to prospective young scientists.

We are currently offering a PhD position in the context of the ITN Marie Curie International Training Network OMT (http://www.omt-etn.net/) on optomechanics.

The European Training Network ColOpt - Collective effects and optomechanics in ultra-cold matter

Applications are invited (from students with a Masters Degree, or very good marks in a Bachelors Degree) for a Hardiman Scholarship at the National University of Ireland Galway. Please see http://www.nuigalway.ie/hardiman-scholarships/ for application details and get in touch with Dr. M. Mc Gettrick (michael.mcgettrick@nuigalway.ie) to discuss research projects. The deadline is imminent - February 17, 2017.

A postdoc/PhD student position in Germany

A fully-funded postdoc/PhD student position is available to work at Peter Gruenberg Institute (PGI-2) in Forschungszentrum Juelich, near Aachen in Germany. For students the degree will be granted by RWTH university in Aachen. The researcher will work with Dr. Mohammad H. Ansari. The project can be started in the Summer or Fall 2017.

A fully-funded PhD student scholarship is available to work at the Centre for Quantum Software and Information with the University of Technology Sydney in downtown Sydney. The student, who has a strong background and interest in applied mathematics, will do research under my supervision to further develop the mathematical foundations of quantum information theory and to explore applications to quantum cryptography and quantum Shannon theory. More information about my research can be found on my website: www.marcotom.info.

A broad range of PhD projects with a focus on experimental as well as theoretical quantum science are available through the Scottish Condensed Matter Doctoral Training Centre. Full details about the project and application procedure can be found on the CM-DTC website: http://cm-dtc.supa.ac.uk/research/phd_projects.php# .

A PhD scholarship is available for research in topologically ordered phases and their use in quantum devices and topological quantum computation.
