Dear all,
apologies for cross-posting. Gilad Gour and I are looking for
outstanding candidates for graduate positions (MSc and PhD level) in
our quantum information group 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.

interviews):

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

The deadline for applications is 15 January 2023.
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 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
