ICFO – The Institute of Photonic Sciences (http://www.icfo.eu), in collaboration with the Universitat Politecnica de Catalunya – BarcelonaTech (UPC), is offering a predoctoral fellowship to well-qualified graduate students who wish to enhance his/her scientific career in a friendly and stimulating environment, as well as to obtain a doctoral degree in any of the photonics-related research fields.

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.

We are looking for a post-graduate student to join the newly formed quantum information theory group of Animesh Datta at the University of Warwick. The goals of this theoretical project are first, to better understand the fundamental limits to precisions attainable in measurements, and second, to propose new techniques that use quantum physics to provide enhanced precisions. The student should be interested in a close interplay between concepts from theoretical quantum physics and techniques from mathematics.
