Dear Colleagues,



Oxford and Edinburgh are currently advertising three postdoc positions in
quantum information theory, each for two years, with extension to four
years depending on funding. The closing date is 19th January, with
interviews in early February. Please do pass this on to any relevant lists,
or people who may be interested.



Many thanks, Jon







———————



We are pleased to announce the opening of three full-time postdoctoral

positions at the University of Oxford and University of Edinburgh as

part of the Networked Quantum Information Technologies (NQIT) EPSRC

Quantum Technology Hub. The Hub will take some of the UK’s

world-leading experimental work in ion traps and photonic networks and

translate it into quantum computing technology through a highly

ambitious and multidisciplinary programme.



The positions are within the theory groups of Prof Abramsky (Oxford),

Dr Barrett (Oxford) and Dr Kashefi (Edinburgh), focusing on the areas

of small-scale quantum computing, secure communications, and the

verification of quantum technology. The work will support the overall

theory, design, and applications development for quantum computing

systems developed within the NQIT hub. The successful candidates will

be contributing to the research project plan as well as collaborating

with other groups, including leading experimental groups within the

NQIT.



To apply you must have or shortly be expecting to obtain, a doctoral

degree in computer science, physics, mathematics, or a related

discipline. You should also have a proven record of research,

including strong publications, in at least one of the areas of quantum

algorithms, quantum cryptography, quantum verification or high-level

notations for quantum computation; a willingness to collaborate with

experimental groups; excellent scientific writing ability and good

communication skills; willingness to travel internationally.



The posts are initially offered for a fixed term of 2 years, with the

possibility of extension for a further 2 years depending on funding.

The closing date for applications is 12.00 noon on 19 January 2015.

Interviews for all three positions will be held in Oxford in early

February 2015.



*Candidates who wish to be considered both for a post at Edinburgh and

for a post at Oxford will be interviewed only once, but need to submit

separate applications using the links below.*
