2010 Postdoc Recruitment

Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics invites applications for postdoctoral positions in the areas of quantum gravity, string theory, quantum information, cosmology, quantum foundations and particle physics. We will consider applications in all of these areas. Exceptional applicants in related areas, such as condensed matter physics, are encouraged to apply. The postdoctoral positions are normally for a period of three years. Outstanding candidates may also be considered for a senior postdoctoral position with a five-year term.

POST-DOCTORAL RESEARCH ASSOCIATE: QUANTUM INFORMATION THEORY

Department of Pure Mathematics and Mathematical Statistics

Salary: £27,183-£35,469 pa

Limit of Tenure applies*

The Statistical Laboratory of the Department (see http://www.statslab.cam.ac.uk/) invites applications for a post-doctoral research associate to commence on 1st January 2010 or later by negotiation. The successful candidate will be associated also with the Centre for Quantum Computation (CQC) of the University of Cambridge (see http://qubit.damtp.cam.ac.uk/).

Post-Doctoral fellowships at the Institute for Quantum Computing

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.

The Department of Applied Mathematics at H.I.T. – Holon Institute of Technology (Holon, Israel) invites applications for a postdoctoral position in Mathematical Physics. The successful candidate is expected to be involved into a research at the crossroad of the Random Matrix Theory, Quantum Chaotic Systems, and the Theory of Integrable Hierarchies. Previous research record in one of those fields is an advantage, strong analytical skills is a must.

The Quantum Information Theory Group QUIT in Pavia (www.qubit.it) is searching for highly motivated postdoctoral scientists to join the young and dynamic research team led by Giacomo M. D'Ariano at the "A. Volta" Physics Department of the University of Pavia (www.unipv.it)

A Research Fellow is to be appointed at Birmingham, to start by October 2009, on my EPSRC project to apply techniques of geometric logic to the topos approaches to quantum theory (Isham and Doering at Imperial, Landsman's group at Nijmegen).

The job is now posted online at Birmingham, application deadline 10th June 2009; go to http://www.hr.bham.ac.uk/jobs/ and search by post number 43408. There will be an advertisement on http://www.jobs.ac.uk/ shortly.

HP Labs - Post-Doctoral Researcher in Experimental QKD

The Quantum Information Processing (QIP) Group is based in HP Labs Bristol UK, and is part of the Information and Quantum Systems Laboratory (IQSL). The QIP group is seeking applicants for a fixed-term research appointment for two years, to work on the next stages of the implementation of "consumer quantum key distribution", HP's most advanced quantum information technology. The appointee will carry out research and development on short-range, free-space QKD for consumer applications.

We are looking for highly motivated candidates who have a strong research background in theoretical quantum optics, quantum information theory and/or condensed matter theory. The research to be undertaken will be in the interface of quantum optics and QIP with emphasis in the simulation of quantum many body effects. More specifically among others we would like to study how efficiently coupled cavity arrays, where each cavity is strongly interacting with atoms, can simulate quantum many-body effects usually occuring in condensed matter systems.

The silicon qubit group at the University of Wisconsin-Madison seeks applicants for two or more postdoctoral positions, beginning in 2009. The goal of our group is to develop quantum dot spin qubits in silicon heterostructures. The open positions would provide theoretical support for this effort. Candidates should demonstrate expertise in one or more of the following areas: condensed matter theory, quantum information theory and applications (e.g., qubit simulations), and semiconductor device theory and modeling.
