POSTDOCTORAL RESEARCH ASSOCIATE / RESEARCH FELLOW IN OPTICAL SIGNAL PROCESSING
CUDOS – THE CENTRE FOR ULTRAHIGH BANDWIDTH DEVICES FOR OPTICAL SYSTEMS
SCHOOL OF PHYSICS
REFERENCE NO. 1402/0614

A fully funded PhD studentship is available in the area of Quantum Systems Engineering for Enabling Emerging Technologies. The rapidly developing field of quantum technologies looks set to have a transformative impact on core enabling technologies from sensors to communications. There is a need for fundamental research that will enable the shift from laboratory devices and prototypes into manufacture and deployment. The aim of this project is to investigate the suitability of systems engineering methodologies to the development of reliable quantum devices.

ICFO – The Institute of Photonic Sciences (http://www.icfo.eu), a centre based in Barcelona/ Spain, devoted to research and education of the optical and photonic sciences at the highest international level, is looking for a well-qualified and highly motivated young scientist who wishes to enhance his/her scientific career in the field of atomic quantum optics.

Marie Curie Research Fellow (PhD position)
University of Nottingham, School of Physics and Astronomy
Salary: From £36,929 per annum

Applications are invited for the above post to work with Prof Peter Krüger in the framework of a European funded project at the University of Nottingham. The successful candidates will register for a 3 year PhD at the School of Physics and Astronomy within the Marie Curie Initial Training Network (ITN): Future Atomic Clock Technology (FACT).

The University of Surrey is looking to employ a full time Post Doctoral Researcher funded through the Hub, this post is available from 1 October 2014 and is funded for 3 years in the first instance. Quantum technologies harness the features of quantum mechanics to perform tasks that are hard or impossible with conventional technologies.

Applications from Indian nationals are invited for the following positions (initially for 1 year) under the project “Topology, quantum computation and spintronics with Dirac materials” in the School of Physical Sciences, NISER, Bhubaneswar, India funded by Dept. of Science and Technology, DST-Nanomisssion, Govt. of India.

The Quantum Nanophotonics Lab of Dr. Paul Barclay at the Institute for Quantum Science and Technology, the National Institute for Nanotechnology, and the University of Calgary is inviting applications for postdoctoral scholar positions in quantum nanophotonics and optomechanics. Successful applicants will lead experiments utilizing nanophotonic and nanomechanical devices to manipulate quantum systems, develop quantum light sources, and demonstrate nanoscale sensors.

Applications are invited for a 2-3 years long postdoctoral position to work with Dr. Andrzej Dragan on the interdisciplinary field of relativistic quantum information. The research is aiming at exploiting relativity to improve quantum information tasks and studying quantum information protocols in the presence of gravity. Candidates must be motivated, confident and creative. They must have a PhD in physics and experience with quantum theory and relativity. Knowledge of quantum information and quantum optics is also desirable.

Submission deadline:
