CENTER FOR THE PHYSICS OF INFORMATION
CALIFORNIA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY
Postdoctoral Research Positions

The Center for the Physics of Information at the California Institute of Technology will have postdoctoral scholar positions available beginning in September 2009. Researchers interested in all aspects of the interface between information science and physical science are invited to apply. The appointment is contingent upon completion of a Ph.D.

ICFO - The Institute of Photonic Sciences is a centre based in Castelldefels (Barcelona), devoted to the research and education of the optical and photonic sciences, at the highest international level. The ‘Quantum information with cold atoms and non-classical light’ research group, led by Prof. Morgan Mitchell, at ICFO is looking for Ph.D. students to work in the areas of experimental quantum optics, atomic physics, and quantum light-matter interfaces.

We are offering a PhD position in Quantum Optics and Quantum Many-Body Dynamics within the newly established Emmy Noether research group led by Dr. Michael Hartmann at the Physics Department of the Technical University Munich.

We are looking for a highly motivated candidate who has ideally already gained some research experience in theoretical quantum optics, quantum information theory and/or condensed matter theory.

3 PhD Scholarships in ultra-cold atomic gases and quantum information (Experimental Physics).

We invite applications to join our research effort in the area of ultra-cold atomic gases.
The project aims towards the development of a chip based system suitable for applications
for quantum information processing including the generation of Bose-Einstein condensates.
The successful applicant will have the opportunity to attend international conferences
in US/Europe/Asia and plays a vital role in the success of the project.

A PhD project to begin in late 2008 to early 2009 is available in the UQ Quantum Optics Lab in the area of advanced single molecule biosensing and biomechanics. This PhD project will focus primarily on developing a new ultrasensitive technique to monitor single small biomolecules in real time. This technique will be applied to study molecular dynamics of biologically relevant kinetic molecules. Ultrahigh quality integrated optical microresonators offer, in principle, a far more sensitive method to monitor such systems than any currently available.
