ICFO – The Institute of Photonic Sciences, a centre based in Castelldefels (Barcelona, Spain), devoted to research and education of the optical and photonic sciences at the highest international level, is offering a postdoctoral position to a well-qualified, highly motivated and dynamic young scientist who wishes to enhance his/her scientific career in a friendly and stimulating environment. The successful candidate will be part of an emerging project carried out by Prof Hugues de Riedmatten's newly established Quantum Photonics with Solids and Atoms group.

A 2-year postdoctoral position in Quantum Information Science is opening in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of British Columbia in Spring 2011, in the group of Dr. Robert Raussendorf. Possible areas of research include - but are not restricted to - models of quantum computation, quantum error-correction and quantum algorithms.

We anticipate having an opening for a postdoctoral position in the research group of Prof. Mark Byrd within the next two or three months. Applications will be reviewed beginning December 1, 2010 and will continue until the position is filled. The position is for research in quantum error prevention methods. The applicant should have some knowledge of quantum error correcting codes and fault-tolerant quantum computing. Knowledge of other error prevention methods, such as dynamical decoupling controls and decoherence-free subspaces would be beneficial. Applications should be sent to:

The Institute for Quantum Computing is inviting applications for postdoctoral positions in all aspects of quantum information processing, bridging areas from fundamental theory to physical implementations.

ADVERT: Two postdocs in Quantum Nanoscience Theory: Fundamental physics and high-level structures.

WOMEN IN SCIENCE: This is your chance to get a two-years PostDoctoral Fellowship (with flexible conditions, research expenses and support for childcare) to join the dynamic and young Quantum Stochastics & Information group at the University of Nottingham (Dr G. Adesso, Dr I. Fuentes, Dr M. Guta).

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.

Candidates will have a Phd degree (compulsory), and also will count with a mathematics or physics undergraduate degree and good level of English (writen and spoken).

POSITION: POSTOCTORAL RESEARCHER.- A fully funded Postdoc Contract in Quantum Information and Strongly Correlated Systems is available to work under the supervision of Prof. Miguel A. Martin-Delgado at the Departamento de Fisica Teorica I, Facultad de Ciencias Fisicas, Universidad Complutense (Madrid, Spain). It covers a period of 2 years. The Contract is funded by the Research Grant QUITEMAD of Comunidad Autónoma de Madrid (CAM)

The AtomChip Lab (www.bgu.ac.il/atomchip) at Ben-Gurion University (BGU) is searching for high quality candidates in a variety of fields, including, research into chip fabrication for quantum optics chips with atoms, ions and photons, fundamental research into atom optics with cold atoms, and applicative research which we are conducting in collaboration with the high-tech industry into atomic clocks and magnetic sensors with both hot and cold atoms. Our sub-group in theory also has open positions for qualified candidates.
