Post-doctoral Fellowships

The Physics of Information Group <http://www.phys-info.org/>, at Instituto
de Telecomunicacoes (in Lisbon, Portugal), is seeking to hire two
Post-doctoral Fellows to develop research in one of the following areas:
quantum simulation, quantum information theory, quantum thermodynamics or
quantum effects in biology.

The candidates are expected to have a doctoral degree and research
experience in one of the above areas (or in general in: open quantum
systems, quantum optics, condensed matter physics, solid state/graphene
physics, biophysics, or information processing in biological systems).



*Application timing*Applications should be submitted by 6 January 2014, but
earlier applications are welcome. The position is available for immediate
start, and will remain open if adequate candidates are not identified.



*Application procedure*The application is constituted by the following
documents:

1. curriculum vitae of the applicant;
2. statement of research interests, including a short description of the
candidate's scientific background, motivation and skills;
3. two letters of recommendation (in alternative, the contact information
of two persons able to provide references is also accepted).

The application should be sent by e-mail, following the instructions below
(where "Surname" refers to the surname of the candidate):
- the documents above should be sent in a single PDF file, named "BPD
Surname" (recommendation letters may be sent separately, but should still
follow the two steps below);
- the e-mail subject should be "BPD Surname";
- the e-mail should be sent to:  phys-info-jobs  (at)  lx.it.pt

Applications that are incomplete or do not comply with the above
instructions may not be evaluated.

Short-listed applicants may be invited for one or several interviews
following the submission of their application.



*Further information*The Physics of Information
Group<http://www.phys-info.org/>promotes research and advanced
training in the physics of information in
physical, chemical and biological systems. It develops theory work and is
involved in a number of experimental collaborations and international
projects. It also coordinates the new Doctoral Programme in the Physics and
Mathematics of Information <http://www.dp-pmi.org/>, at the University of
Lisbon.

The group is part of Instituto de Telecomunicações (IT), a national
research lab in Lisbon, Portugal, rated *Excellent *in its last
international assessment.

The group is located in the campus of Instituto Superior Técnico (IST, the
School of Science and Engineering of the University of Lisbon), in Lisbon,
Portugal.
