We are happy to announce the opening of the call for applications to the 2015 edition of the Doctoral Programme in the Physics and Mathematics of Information: Foundations of Future Information Technologies (DP-PMI).
The DP-PMI aims at providing advanced curricular and research training in the recent developments and fundamental challenges in information sciences and technologies, namely in:
1. Classical and Quantum Information Theory;
2. Classical and Quantum Logic, Computation and Machine Learning;
3. Classical and Quantum Information Security and Communications;
PhD positions available in the Quantum Technology Theory group at Heriot-Watt, Edinburgh. Opportunities for fully funded positions exist for EU students. The PhD projects are theoretical in nature and fall and into the broad area of quantum technologies, condensed matter nanostructures, and quantum biology.
ICFO – The Institute of Photonic Sciences (http://www.icfo.eu), in collaboration with the Universitat Politecnica de Catalunya – BarcelonaTech (UPC), is offering a predoctoral fellowship to well-qualified graduate students who wish to enhance his/her scientific career in a friendly and stimulating environment, as well as to obtain a doctoral degree in any of the photonics-related research fields.
PhD projects to work within the Quantum Technology group at Queen's University Belfast in the broad area of
Quantum Information Processing and Quantum Technology are available for the 2015-2018 entry. A number of
fully funded (fees only) bursaries are available to UK-resident (EU-resident) students. Further funding might be available
later on.

Applications from Indian nationals are invited for the following position (initially for 1 year) under the project “Topology, quantum computation and spintronics with Dirac materials” in the School of Physical Sciences, NISER, Bhubaneswar, India funded by Dept. of Science and Technology, DST-Nanomisssion, Govt. of India.
York Project: Device independent QKD and quantum random generators. Part of the UK Quantum Technology Hub for Quantum Communications Technologies.
Supervisors: Stefano Pirandola and Roger Colbeck (York). Co-supervisor: Mohsen Razavi (Leeds).
We are looking for a post-graduate student to join the newly formed quantum information theory group of Animesh Datta at the University of Warwick. The goals of this theoretical project are first, to better understand the fundamental limits to precisions attainable in measurements, and second, to propose new techniques that use quantum physics to provide enhanced precisions. The student should be interested in a close interplay between concepts from theoretical quantum physics and techniques from mathematics.
