Thanks again, Daniel!



Two quantum information postdoctoral fellowships available at Stanford
University:



*Position 1:*



The Stanford Institute for Theoretical Physics (SITP) invites applications
for a postdoctoral scholar position in quantum information science. Areas
of interest include core quantum information subjects such as algorithms,
communication and fault-tolerance, in addition to connections with other
branches of physics. The research group is led by Patrick Hayden, with
active participation by other SITP researchers Xiao-Liang Qi (condensed
matter), Steve Shenker (high energy theory) and Lenny Susskind (high energy
theory).

The successful candidate will also have the opportunity to interact with
the many other Stanford researchers whose work intersects with quantum
information, including: Dan Boneh (post-quantum cryptography), Sean
Hartnoll (high energy theory), Mark Kasevich (quantum metrology), Benjamin
Lev (quantum matter), Hideo Mabuchi (quantum control), Monika
Schleier-Smith (atomic physics) and Jelena Vuckovic (electrical
engineering).

A curriculum vitae, publication list, statement of research interests and
three letters of recommendation are required. Applications should be
submitted through Academic Jobs Online at
http://academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/6559.

Review of applications will begin on December 1, 2015.

Applicants are also encouraged to apply for the It from Qubit Fellowship
<http://academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/6496> if their interests intersect
with quantum field theory and quantum gravity.



*Position 2:*



Stanford University invites applications for the 2016 Nano- and Quantum
Science and Engineering Postdoctoral Fellowships. We seek candidates with
research interests at the interface between engineering and physical
sciences, in particular in the area of nano- and quantum science and
engineering. We are especially looking for candidates who will build a
clear bridge between physical sciences and engineering applications.

Candidates are encouraged to contact faculty members from the participating
departments (Electrical Engineering, Applied Physics, Materials Science,
and Physics) to discuss possible research areas prior to submitting an
application. The initial appointment includes 2 years of support with an
annual salary of approximately $60,000 and benefits.

Applications and supporting credentials must be submitted through: Academic
Jobs Online (https://academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/6478)

Candidates should upload their curriculum vitae, publication list, two page
research statement, and arrange to have three letters of reference
submitted online. For queries, please contact Teresa Nguyen (teresan at
ee.stanford.edu). Review of applications will begin immediately and
continue until the position is filled, but candidates whose applications
and supporting materials including letters are all uploaded by December 18,
2015 will be fully considered.

Appointments are expected to begin on or around Autumn/Winter, 2016. It is
expected that at least two fellowships will be awarded.

Eligibility: For consideration, candidates must have completed a PhD degree
by September 1, 2016. The fellowship is open to US Citizens or
international candidates. Candidates from groups that are under-represented
in their disciplines, including women, ethnic minorities and individuals
with disabilities are encouraged to apply.

Application Material Required:

Cover Letter
Curriculum Vitae
Research Statement
Publication List
Three Reference Letters (to be submitted by the reference writers at this
site)
