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 23 January 2015, but earlier
applications are welcome.

The selected candidate is expected to start in June 2015, but earlier
starting dates are also possible. The position will remain open if

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 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, 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
