Dear Colleague,



Please call the attention of any potential candidate that you know (and
sorry in case of multiple receiving).



If you are a young Mathematician with (or about to receive) a PhD title and
has sound interest and knowledge in (at least) one of the above areas:

- Quantum Information Theory (e.g. Quantum Shannon Theory);

- Graph Theory and Combinatorics applied to Quantum Information;

- Random Structures and the "Quantum Probabilistic Method";

- Foundations of Quantum Mechanics (Contextuality, Nonlocality,
Entanglement, and the quest for good axioms for quantum theory);

- Foundations of Statistical Mechanics, specially the program of deducing
Statistical Mechanics as a consequence of massive system-environment
entanglement;

and want to spend one (or two) years at Belo Horizonte, Brazil, as a
post-doc at Math Department of UFMG (Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais),
under the supervision of Marcelo Terra Cunha and straight collaboration
with Prof. Andreas Winter, please send a short CV and a proposal (not more
than four pages) to marcelo.terra.cunha[at]gmail.com.



Practical Information:

- Scholarship of about R$ 3.700 per month, tax-free;

- Beginning in April 2013, or any other date that seems better;

- Deadline is 28th February, but the sooner the better;

- This is part of the Project Science without Borders, from Brazilian
Government and the Brazilian agency Capes;

- Our group also consist of Dr. Raphael Drumond, Dr. Marcelo França Santos,
Dr. Sebastião de Pádua, and Prof. Carlos Monken (spanning from Mathematics
to Experimental Quantum Optics) and many grad and undergrad students.
Besides Prof. Andreas Winter, we also receive regular visits from Prof.
Adán Cabello (also a Science Without Borders visitor), and sporadic visits
of both, senior and young researchers; You can also take benefit of the
collaborative environment of both departments: Mathematics and Physics;

- Theoretical Physicists with a sound background in Math are also welcome
to apply;

- If you enrol in the activities, you may have access to the grants of the
group, specially the ones offered by the Brazilian National Institute of
Science and Technology on Quantum Information;

- There are other opportunities that may be explained upon demand.



Quantum Regards,

Marcelo Terra Cunha and Andreas Winter
