Dear Colleague,

I would be grateful if you could forward the opening attached below to
suitable candidates.

Best regards,

Postdoc and PhD positions in theoretical physics

The group of D. Gross at Freiburg University aims to fill one
postdoctoral and one PhD position.

The successful candidates will jointly work on a project with the goal
of developing new methods for the efficient characterization of large
quantum systems. We will collaborate closely with the groups of Flammia
(Sydney), O'Brien (Bristol), Cramer and Plenio (Ulm), and Schaetz
(Freiburg). The project is part of a wider research program that unites
quantum information theory on the one hand, and the mathematics of
classical data analysis on the other hand (here, we are interested e.g.
in compressed sensing, low-rank methods, and causal inference). Further
information is available from www.qc.uni-freiburg.de.

While the positions will be situated in a theory group, at least one of
the candidates is expected to have experience in working with
experimental physicists. Skills in mathematical statistics would be
helpful, but are not required at the time of hiring.

Candidates should send a full CV including a short statement of research
interests to david.gross at physik.uni-freiburg.de. Please include
electronic contact details of two referees. Deadline is the 25th of May.
Later applications will be considered in case not all positions will
have been filled. Starting date is flexible.
