[quantum-info] Graduate openings University of Calgary

[Carlo Maria Scandolo]

Dear all,
apologies for cross-posting.
Gilad Gour and I are looking for outstanding candidates for graduate 
positions (MSc and PhD level) in our newly formed quantum information 
group (after my recent faculty appointment) at the Department of 
Mathematics & Statistics at the University of Calgary, Canada. Our group 
works within the Institute for Quantum Science and Technologies 
(directed by Barry Sanders), which is one of the top institutes for 
quantum information in Canada.
Our research interests are in theoretical aspects of quantum 
information, the quantification of quantum resources (such as 
entanglement), quantum thermodynamics, quantum foundations and general 
probabilistic theories.
Graduate positions are normally funded through teaching assistantship; 
however, more competitive scholarships are also available. Applications 
for math programs are preferred, however we can also offer supervision 
for other programs. More information here: math MSc 
<https://grad.ucalgary.ca/.../math-and-statistics-msc-thesis> and math 
PhD <https://grad.ucalgary.ca/.../expl.../math-and-statistics-phd>. The 
deadline for applications is on *15 January 2021*.

The University of Calgary is Canada's leading next-generation 
university: a living, growing and youthful institution that embraces 
change and opportunity with a can-do attitude. Located in the nation's 
most enterprising city, the university is making tremendous progress on 
its Eyes High journey to be recognized as one of Canada's top five 
research universities, grounded in innovative learning and teaching and 
fully integrated with the community it both serves and leads. The 
University of Calgary inspires and supports discovery, creativity and 
innovation across all disciplines.
Finally, a few words on the city: Calgary has been on the top list of 
the most livable cities in the world for years, and it is the most 
livable city in North America. It boasts more days of sunshine per year 
than any other major Canadian city. Calgary is also less than an hour's 
drive from the majestic Rocky Mountains!

Best regards,

Carlo Maria Scandolo
