The Physics Department at the Université de Sherbrooke invites
applications for up to five postdoctoral positions in the areas of
quantum materials, quantum information, and quantum engineering, and,
especially at their intersections. The Université de Sherbrooke’s
project “From Quantum Sciences to Quantum Technologies” was recently
awarded $33,5M by the Canada First Research Excellence Fund and $8M by
the Canadian Foundation for Innovation. Its mission is to become a
world leader in research and education that takes advantage of the
unique synergies offered by its existing strengths in quantum
materials, quantum information, and quantum engineering.

A PhD and significant evidence of excellence in research, or evidence
of strong potential for technological transfer of research projects
are required. These postdoctoral positions are for a period of two
years with possibility of extension. Outstanding candidates will be
considered for our prized postdoctoral position of up to five years.
We offer competitive salaries and comprehensive support including a
research and travel fund, opportunities to invite visiting
collaborators and to organize workshops and conferences. Postdoctoral
Fellows are expected to work in close collaboration with one or
ideally more than one faculty member, and will have opportunities to
interact with leading theoretical and experimental physicists and
engineers.

The physics department offers a dynamic research environment and
encourages research crossing the boundaries between its existing
research strengths. The 14 faculty of the department conduct research
in the following areas: Superconductivity, strongly correlated
electrons, topologically ordered materials, magnetism, quantum
algorithms, quantum error-correction, superconducting qubits,
quantum-enhanced metrology, solid-state spin qubits, photonics, and
mesoscopic physics. In addition, members of the department maintain
strong ties with engineers, whose expertise including
micro-/nano-fabrication, cold electronics, single-electron
transistors, packaging and integration. Many faculty are members of
the following networks: RQMP (Regroupement Québécois sur les Matériaux
de Pointe), INTRIQ (INstitut TRansdisciplinaire d'Informatique
Quantique), Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (Quantum
Materials and Quantum Information Processing programs). They have
access to world-class computing resources and facilities for
nanotechnologies, materials and device characterization.

Applications

Please send a CV, with a cover letter containing a short description
of the research program. Arrange for three letters of reference to be
sent directly. The material must be sent to

postdoc-application-physique at usherbrooke.ca

Candidates can contact any of the faculty members for enquiries.

Only material received on November 30th, 2015 or before will be considered.

The University follows the principle of equal access for women.
Amongst equally qualified candidates, priority will be given to
Canadian citizens and permanent residents of Canada. The University
supports equal employment opportunity for women, visible minorities,
members of first nations and the disabled.
