Fellowship

The Center for Quantum Devices and Station Q Copenhagen is looking to hire one or more PhD students to work on experimental implementation of majorana fusion rules and braiding of Majorana fermions. Applicants should have a background in Physics with either a Masters degree (for the regular PhD program), one year of Masters-level coursework (for the 4+4 PhD program), or an undergraduate degree in Physics from a US university (for the 3+5 PhD program).

This is a fellowship scheme (second round) funded by Aberystwyth University, the Welsh Government and the European Union. It is aimed at researchers with 3-5 years post-PhD experience and comes with a 3 year appointment. To be eligible, you have to have spent no more than 12 months in the UK over the last three years (0 months is fine!), and applications can be from anywhere in the world. At the moment, I am collecting expressions of interest only; there is a two-stage proposal involved in this but chances are quite good.

POSITION SUMMARY:

KG Zloshchastiev's group at the Institute of Systems Science, Durban University of Technology, located in the city of Durban, South Africa, opens the visiting positions for 2017. Visits are funded by the National Research Foundation of South Africa through the Durban University of Technology. There is no formal deadline, applications will be considered until the positions will be filled.

The group is now working on several multi-disciplinary topics, with a strong emphasis on these:

It from Qubit, the Simons Collaboration on Quantum Fields, Gravity, and Information, anticipates appointing up to 12 postdoctoral fellows across the following locations:

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 new round of Anne McLaren Fellowships (for women in science) and Nottingham Research Fellowships (for all candidates) at the University of Nottingham is now open. The Fellowships are open to outstanding early career researchers with up to 8 years of postdoctoral experience. The Fellowships offer a three year competitive salary, with a link to a permanent academic position at the end of the project (subject to performance).

The Light-Matter Interactions Unit (https://groups.oist.jp/light) at OIST Graduate University on the beautiful island of Okinawa, Japan, is seeking applicants from Europe or the US intersted in applying for a JSPS Postdoctoral Fellowship (http://www.jsps.go.jp/english/e-fellow/postdoctoral_short.html) to work with them.

Applications from Indian nationals are invited for the following position (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.
