Subject: DP-PMI - Call open for the Doctoral Programme in the Physics
and Mathematics of Information
To:


Dear Colleagues,

We are happy to announce the opening of the call for applications to
the new edition of the Doctoral Programme in the Physics and
Mathematics of Information: Foundations of Future Information
Technologies (DP-PMI), starting in February 2017.

The DP-PMI aims at providing advanced curricular and research training
in the recent developments and fundamental challenges in information
sciences and technologies, namely in:

1. Classical and Quantum Information Theory;
2. Classical and Quantum Logic, Computation and Machine Learning;
3. Classical and Quantum Information Security and Communications;
4. Nanoenergetics and Quantum Thermodynamics;
5. Ultimate limits to precision measurements and navigation.

The DP-PMI is hosted by Instituto Superior Tecnico (IST), the School
of Science and Engineering of the University of Lisbon, in Portugal,
and seven associated research centres.

The programme is funded mainly by a 2.2 MEuro grant from the
Portuguese Science Foundation (FCT). The DP-PMI started in January
2014 and currently has 20 students (14 male + 6 female) from 9
different nationalities. The programme will recruit up to 10 students
in this call, and overall will train 40 doctoral students by 2021.

The Doctoral Programme in the Physics and Mathematics of Information
aims at recruiting top-level students at the global scale, and train
them in a multidisciplinary and international setting. The
applications for the DP-PMI are very competitive, with a typical
success rate of around 12%.

The applications for the new edition of the DP-PMI are open until 30
October 2016.

Please advertise this information in your institution and directly to
potential candidates.

Thank you very much and best wishes,
