PostDoc

Research Associate/Fellow

Reference: SCI1070
Closing Date: Thursday, 15th December 2011
Job Type: Research & Teaching
Department: School of Mathematical Sciences
Salary: £24370 to £32751 per annum, depending on skills and experience (£27,428 per annum minimum with relevant PhD).

Applications are invited for the above post based in the School of Mathematical Sciences at the University of Nottingham.

The University of Nottingam is pleased to announce 10 Visiting Fellowships for early career university lecturers and post-doctoral researchers currently working at recognised universities in Brazil.

A web site with all of the potential research projects is now up and running at
http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/internationaloffice/brazil
Specifically, a call for up to two fellows in Quantum Information Theory is available under "Mathematical Sciences".

Come and join us in our explorations at the intersection of nanophysics and quantum optics. Our main focus is currently in optomechanics. This new field studies the interaction of light and nanomechanical motion.

Recent breakthrough experiments (2011) have laser-cooled a nanomechanical resonator into its ground state of mechanical motion for the first time. This opens the door towards quantum optomechanical circuits, many-body physics, potential applications in ultrasensitive measurements, quantum information, and fundamental tests of quantum mechanics.

CIFAR’s Nanoelectronics Program is seeking an outstanding postdoctoral researcher to fill a Junior Fellowship position beginning in or after September 2012 to work on the theory of quantum optomechanical systems based on superconducting microwave circuits and superconducting qubits. The successful candidate will work with the groups of Prof. Alexandre Blais at Universite de Sherbrooke (Sherbrooke, Quebec), and Prof. Aashish Clerk at McGill University (Montreal, Quebec) under joint supervision.

Here comes another round of attractive opportunities from the University of Nottingham: This is your chance to get a two-year PostDoctoral Fellowship (with flexible conditions, research expenses and support for childcare) to join the dynamic and young Quantum Information group in the School of Mathematical Sciences at the University of Nottingham (Dr G. Adesso, Dr I. Fuentes, Dr M. Guta).

There are posdocs opportunities at the Quantum Information group of the Federal Fluminense University (http://infoptics.if.uff.br/doku.php?id=startpage), in Niterói, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The positions are to work at the interface between condensed matter and quantum information theory, under joint supervision of Prof. Thiago de Oliveira (tro@if.uff.br) and Prof. Marcelo Sarandy (msarandy@if.uff.br).

Two Postdoctoral Positions in Quantum Computation

University of Southern California

Applications are now open for postdoctoral fellowships at Perimeter Institute (PI) to begin in Fall 2012. PI hosts the world’s largest group of independent postdoctoral fellows in foundational theoretical physics. At PI, Postdoctoral Fellows are encouraged to formulate and pursue their own chosen lines of research, across all fields of theoretical physics, within an exceptionally supportive environment. They enjoy ample opportunities to interact with senior scientists, host collaborators, organize workshops and conferences, and participate in the training of graduate students.

Two Postdoctoral Positions in Experimental Quantum Optics and Information
Laboratoire Kastler Brossel, Paris

Applications are invited for postdoctoral positions in experimental quantum optics and quantum information at Laboratoire Kastler Brossel (LKB), in Paris (France). LKB is jointly run by Université P. et M. Curie, Ecole Normale Supérieure and CNRS.

The position, for 2 years, is within the project QUITEMAD (Quantum Information Technologies Madrid) web site: http://www.quitemad.org/, funded through the Programas de Actividades de I+D de la Comunidad de Madrid, which involves 5 Quantum Information groups.
