We are happy to announce the opening of a two-year postdoctoral position in quantum information theory. The successful candidate will work at the interface of quantum nonlocality and the axiomatization of quantum mechanics with Profs. Miguel Navascués and Antonio Acín at the Institute for Quantum Optics and Quantum Information (IQOQI) (Vienna, Austria) and the Institute of Photonic Sciences (ICFO) (Barcelona, Spain), respectively. The succesful candidate will be based in Vienna and enjoy frequent collaborative visits to Barcelona.

A postdoctoral position opens in autumn 2015 at the Quantware group of the Laboratory for Theoretical Physics, CNRS and University Paul Sabatier, Toulouse, France (website http://www.quantware.ups-tlse.fr). This position is funded by the LABEX NEXT in the framework of the grant TRAFIC (quantum TRAnsport Fluctuations wIth Cold atoms) attributed to a team composed of the permanent researchers

The Light-Matter Interactions Unit (https://groups.oist.jp/light) in OIST, headed by Prof Síle Nic Chormaic, invites applications for a postdoctoral scholar or staff scientist position in the unit. The focus will be on one of the experimental areas within the group such as (i) WGM resonators for nonlinear optics or optomechanics, (ii) complex beam profiles, optical trapping, and fibre-based imaging, or (iii) cold atoms and nanofibres for quantum networks.

There is a vacancy for a postdoctoral researcher on “Experimental Quantum Information with Trapped Strontium Rydberg Ions” at Stockholm University. We are searching for a talented and motivated postdoctoral researcher interested in experimental quantum optics and quantum information with trapped ions. The research will focus on the investigation of trapped strontium Rydberg ions, which is a novel approach for quantum information processing. It joins the high level of quantum control of trapped ions and the strong dipolar interaction between Rydberg atoms.

[Postdoctoral research fellowship and PhD positions]

Two postdoctoral positions and PhD positions are available from Oct. 1 2015 in the group of Quantum Information Theory led by Joonwoo Bae (Hanyang University-ERICA) and Won-Young Hwang (Chonnam National University), recently established consortium in Korea. The successful candidates will conduct an independent research and interact with the local group, in topics of fundamental aspects of quantum information theory toward cryptographic applications.

Two new Postdoctoral Research Associate (PDRA) posts are available in the area of quantum technologies, based in the newly established EPSRC Quantum Communications Hub which is led by the University of York. The £24m five-year Hub, directed by Professor Tim Spiller, involves eight universities - Bristol, Cambridge, Heriot-Watt, Leeds, Royal Holloway, Sheffield, Strathclyde and York (lead). Private sector partners include BT, the National Physical Laboratory (NPL) and Toshiba Research Europe Ltd (TREL).

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).

Deadline: until positions are filled.

We invite applications for post-doctoral researchers in the field of quantum optics, cold atoms, and atom spectroscopy. We offer a highly stimulating and energetic environment for experimental and theoretical atomic physicists and very competitive offers for both domestic and international applicants, including generous re-location packages. Applicants should have extensive experience in atomic physics and ultra-cold atoms.

The Department of Physics and Astronomy is looking to appoint a Post-doctoral Research Associate to work on the EPSRC funded project "Towards fault-tolerant quantum computing with minimal resources" under direction of Dr Earl Campbell.

The Institute for Logic, Language & Computation at the University of Amsterdam is looking for a postdoctoral researcher in the area of quantum cryptography, as part of Christian Schaffner’s NWO VIDI Project Cryptography in the Quantum Age.
