Dear Daniel and Rob,



Our Center of Quantum Information and Control (CQuIC) at the University of
New Mexico (UNM) currently searches 4 theory postdocs as seen in the
attached advertisement, and the review starts shortly on November 1, 2016.



It would be greatly appreciated if you could kindly forward the ad to
anyone who you think may be interested, or inform me of his/her name so
that I will contact directly.



Thank you so much for your valuable help. I hope all is well with you!

Best wishes,

Akimasa

The Center for Quantum Information and Control (CQuIC) is a research center
headquartered at the University of New Mexico (UNM), with a node at the
University of Arizona (UA), and an NSF-funded Focused Research Hub in
Theoretical Physics (FRHTP). CQuIC is seeking to hire up to four theory
postdoctoral fellows at UNM, with flexible start dates over the next year.

The core faculty at CQuIC are F. Elohim Becerra, Carlton Caves (Director),
Ivan Deutsch, Poul Jessen (UA), and Akimasa Miyake; these are the Project
Directors (PDs) for the FRHTP. There are ten Senior Collaborating
Participants (SCPs) associated with the FRHTP, all at other institutions:
Howard Barnum, Grant Biedermann, Robin Blume-Kohout, Gavin Brennen, Joshua
Combes, Yuan-Yu Jau, Andrew Landahl, Gerard Milburn, Timothy Ralph, and
Rolando Somma.

Theoretical research at CQuIC is focused on (i) foundational investigations
in quantum information, control, and measurement; (ii) quantum control of
qudit systems; (iii) quantum control and squeezing of collective atomic
spins; (iv) analog quantum computation and simulation. Theoretical research
ranges from abstract topics in quantum information theory to detailed
modeling and protocol design for experiments involving cold atoms and/or
quantum-optical systems.  Successful applicants will have the opportunity
to work with the PDs and SCPs on CQuIC’s core research interests, to
develop new research directions for CQuIC’s research portfolio, to pursue
independent lines of research, and to participate in managing center-wide
activities.

Information about ongoing activities at CQuIC can be found at cquic.unm.edu.
Questions about these positions should be directed to the Search
Coördinator at cquic at unm.edu.

A successful applicant must have completed all requirements for a PhD in
physics or a related discipline by the time of employment. Candidates
should have a demonstrated record of accomplishment as a theorist in some
part of quantum information science; demonstrated potential for research
accomplishment at CQuIC; demonstrated potential to contribute to
center-wide research-training and scientific-outreach activities;
demonstrated potential to work productively with CQuIC personnel at all
levels; demonstrated specific interest in CQuIC research; and a
demonstrated commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion, and student
success, as well as working with broadly diverse communities.

Applicants must apply at UNMJobs (https://unmjobs.unm.edu), Posting No.
0836099 <https://unmjobs.unm.edu/applicants/Central?quickFind=89015>;
applicants should submit a cover letter, a CV (including list of
publications), and a statement of research interests and plans (pdf files,
please) and should specify the names, affiliations, and e-mail addresses of
three references.  Applicants should ask each of their references to submit
a letter of recommendation to cquic at unm.edu.  Formal review of applications
will begin on November 1, 2016, but applications will continue to be
reviewed until all positions are filled and at least until the end of
January 2017.

A successful applicant will become a CQuIC Postdoctoral Fellow, with a
contract for one year and the expectation that the appointment will be
renewed for two additional years upon satisfactory performance.

The University of New Mexico is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action
employer and educator. CQuIC is committed to assembling a diverse work
force of researchers in quantum information science.  Qualified women and
minorities are strongly encouraged to apply.
