Dear colleagues,



            Please forward the following information regarding postdoctoral
openings to potential candidates.



Thank you,

David



A postdoctoral position in quantum information theory is available in the
group of Professor David Poulin in the Department of Physics at the
University of Sherbrooke. The research focus is on fault-tolerant quantum
computation, with a special emphasis on critical noise parameters that
affect the failure probability of fault-tolerant protocols.



The project is funded by the US Army Research Office. The contract is for
one year, with annual renewals possible for up to 3 years.



The candidate must have a Ph.D. in Physics or a related field and will
preferably have experience with the above research subjects.



The successful candidate will collaborate with scientists at Raytheon BBN
Technologies (Boston, MA), at Sandia National Lab (Albuquerque, NM) and at
the University of Oregon (Eugene, OR), and is expected to travel to those
institutions occasionally.



The physics of quantum information team at the Université de Sherbrooke is
composed of four faculty members, Alexandre Blais, Michel Pioro-Ladrière,
David Poulin, and Bertrand Reulet whose research interests cover both
theoretical and experimental aspects of quantum information science and
mesoscopic physics. We offer an active and stimulating research
environment, enhanced by strong local and international collaborations.
More information can be found at http://epiq.physique.usherbrooke.ca.
Interested candidates should provide a CV including a list of publications,
a brief statement of research interests and should arrange for at least two
letters of recommendations to be sent to:
qip[dot]postdocs[at]usherbrooke[dot]ca. Applications and letters should be
received by August 30th 2014, although later applications will be accepted
until the positions are filled. The start dates are flexible. The
successful candidates will be contacted for an interview.
