The Department of Physics of the Polytechnic University of Bari (Italy) is offering a fellowship in quantum information theory, for computing, metrology, and communications.

We welcome applications from candidates interested in any theoretical aspect of quantum information science and technology. Some knowledge of Italian is expected.

Deadline is February 27th, 2023.

The selected candidate will be hired as a fixed-term researcher (3-year, a more senior position than postdoc, with about 60 hours per year of teaching -- in Italian). The research activity will develop within the field of quantum information theory and its applications, in computing, machine learning, metrology, and communications. The researcher will make use of mathematical methods and models, and numerical simulations.

We have active collaborations with national and international partners, including (among others) MIT, Denmark Technical University, University of Bristol, University of Sheffield, Centre for Quantum Technology NUS, Macquarie University Sydney.

The Polytechnic University of Bari values equality and diversity in Academia. We encourage applications from under-represented groups, without distinction of gender, sexual orientation, race, nationality, or religion.
