Below, several announcements that you may find of interest. 

 

POSTDOCTORAL POSITION AVAILABLE  AT Columbia University (New York)

A postdoctoral position in the field of Quantum Information and
Computation is available in the group of Prof. Boris Altshuler in the
Department of Physics at Columbia University, New York
(http://www.columbia.edu/cu/physics <https://webmail.unm.edu/Redirect/www.columbia.edu/cu/physics> ). This position is supported by the
Computer & Information Science & Engineering (CISE) Division of the NSF.
It assumes tight and intensive collaboration with the Quantum
Information Group at NEC Laboratories America in Princeton
(http://www.nec-labs.com/research/quantum/quantum-website <https://webmail.unm.edu/Redirect/www.nec-labs.com/research/quantum/quantum-website> ), inag
particular with Dr. Jérémie Roland and Dr. Martin Roetteler. The
research project is at the interface between Computer Science and
Quantum Physics. The target area includes (but is not limited to) the
theory of Adiabatic Quantum Optimization.

Experience with basic principles of Quantum Information Theory as well
as Computational Complexity Theory will be essential. Familiarity with
the foundations of Quantum Mechanics and Quantum Statistical Mechanics
will be useful and well appreciated.

Interested applicants should send an email with their resume to
bla at phys.columbia.edu and jroland at nec-labs.com with reference "Adiabatic
QC" in the subject line. Applicants are also encouraged to have at least
2 letters of recommendation arranged to be sent to one of these email
addresses. Initial appointment is for one year; renewal through a third
year is contingent on successful review and the availability of funding.
PhD must be completed by the time of the appointment.

Consideration of candidates will start on December 13, 2010 and will
continue until the position is filled.

Dear Colleague, 

I am writing to let you know that I have an open postdoctoral position in my group in theoretical quantum condensed matter / quantum optics.  

The position has a start date of Sept. 1, 2011, and has an initial term of two years.  The interests of my group are in the theory of quantum transport, 

quantum noise in electronic systems, and quantum electromechanical / optomechanical systems; more information may be found on my 

website,  http://www.physics.mcgill.ca/~clerk <https://webmail.unm.edu/Redirect/www.physics.mcgill.ca/%7Eclerk> .  

Please let me know if you are aware of any qualified candidates, or feel free to forward this message directly to them.  

Interested candidates should should send a CV as well as two or three letters of recommendation (via email) to aashish.clerk at mcgill.ca. 

Best wishes, 

Aashish Clerk

POSTDOCTORAL POSITION AVAILABLE  AT  University of Siegen (Germany

		
		

Dear colleague, 

 

for my new group at the University of Siegen (Germany) I am looking 

for a motivated PhD student in the field of quantum information theory. 

The research topics include:

 

* theory of multiparticle entanglement,

* entanglement measures,

* foundations of quantum mechanics, e.g. the Kochen-Specker theorem

 

Applicants are expected to have a master / diploma in physics, 

experience in theoretical physics and interest in foundational 

questions of quantum mechanics.

 

Please forward this announcement to anyone who might be interested. 

Applications should arrive before 15th December 2010, but also later 

applications may be considered. For further information, please 

contact me directly via email. 

 

Best regards,
