TENURE TRACK POSITION
The Université de Sherbrooke invites applications for tenure-track position with a research profile in Condensed Matter Physics or in the Physics of Quantum Information.
The new professor is expected to teach in French at the undergraduate or graduate level and his/her research program, either in Experimental or Theoretical Physics, will reinforce or broaden the research areas already in place in the department. The 13 faculty of the department conduct research in the following areas: Superconductivity, Strongly correlated electrons, Magnetism, Quantum information, Photonics and Mesoscopic Physics. Many are members of the following networks: RQMP (Regroupement Québécois sur les Matériaux de Pointe), INTRIQ (Institut teansdisciplinaire d'informatique quantique), CIFAR (Quantum Materials, Quantum Information Processing and Nanoelectronics programs). They have access to world-class computing resources via Compute Canada and to exceptional facilities in the fields of Quantum Materials and Nanotechnology.
HOW TO APPLY
Résumés must be received by 5:00 p.m., November 30, 2011. Please use the convenient electronic system to submit your application by clicking "Postuler" to the coordinates listed below. With your résumé, also include and letter of interest containing a short description of the research program and a statement of vision on teaching.
In addition, please have three letters of recommendation supporting your application sent directly by the signatories to the coordinates listed below.

POSTDOCTORAL FELLOW
The physics of quantum information team at the physics department of the Universite de
Sherbrooke invites applications for up to four postdoctoral positions. The group is
composed of four faculty members, Alexandre Blais, Michel Pioro-Ladrière, David Poulin,
and Bertrand Reulet whose research interests cover both theoretical and experimental
aspects of quantum information science and mesoscopic physics. The successful
applicants will be involved in the groupʼs activities, which includes:
- Experimental realization of spin qubits in various materials (GaAs, SiGe, InAs, NV
centers,...)
- Experimental investigation of quantum and non-gaussian noise in various mesoscopic
devices
- Theoretical aspects of superconducting qubits, circuit quantum electrodynamics,
quantum optics in solid-state devices, quantum limited amplifiers,...
- Quantum information theory including quantum error correction, quantum algorithms
design, and numerical methods for many-body problems (PEPS, MPS, DMRG).
but will also be able to pursue their own research agendas. We offer an active and
stimulating research environment, enhanced by strong local and international
collaborations.
Interested candidates should provide a CV including a list of publications, a brief statement
of research interests and should arrange for at least two letters of recommendations to be
sent to: qip[dot]postdocs[at]usherbrooke[dot]ca. Applications and letters should be
received by November 1, 2010, although later applications will be accepted until the
positions are filled. The start dates are flexible.
