to be appointed as soon as possible.

These positions are parts of different fundings and therefore differently limited. They are open for Postdocs, as well as graduate students.

Grade 07S; Salary: £29,541 - £36,298 p.a.

Applications for invited for a Research Fellowship within the Oxford Martin Programme on Bio-Inspired Quantum Technologies. This Programme, directed by Professors Vlatko Vedral and Dieter Jaksch, aims to develop a new methodology for overcoming the extreme fragility of quantum memory by learning how biological molecules shield fragile quantum states from the environment.

Applications are invited for an EPSRC-funded postdoctoral position in quantum information theory at Heriot-Watt University, to work with Dr Erika Andersson on quantum digital signatures. The work concerns investigating the security of novel schemes for quantum digital signatures. The position is fixed-term and for 16 months, possibly 18 months, and the starting date is between 1 April 2013 and 31 September 2013 by mutual agreement.

The KZN node of the South African National Institute for Theoretical Physics (NITheP) has one postdoctoral vacancy in the field of Open Quantum Systems and Quantum Information Processing and Communication.

The appointment will be made within the structure of the University of KwaZulu- Natal on a one–year contract basis, with the possibility of renewal for two additional years. Preferences will be given to candidates working on the application of the Theory of Open Quantum System to the design and implementation of quantum computers.

A post-doc position is available at University of Grenoble.
The position is funded by the ANR research grant Causality in Quantum Information, see http://membres-lig.imag.fr/arrighi/CausaQ/.

Topics that are of particular interest to us include (but do not limit yourself to these):
- Non-locality
- Quantum Cellular Automata
- Quantum Walks for quantum simulation
- Measurement-based quantum computation
- Secret-sharing protocols
- Regge calculus and connections with quantum gravity

Applications are invited for several experimental and theoretical postdoctoral positions in the silicon quantum dot qubit group at the University of Wisconsin-Madison (http://qc.physics.wisc.edu/silicon.html). Our integrated program involves all aspects of qubit development, including growth, fabrication, electrical measurements, theoretical analysis and simulations. Current job postings can be found at http://qc.physics.wisc.edu/sijobs.html.

The Faculty of Physics of the University of Warsaw invites applications for research fellowships and research professorships in photonics and quantum science. The eight positions to be filled are funded from the European Union’s 7th Framework Programme project PhoQuS@UW: Fostering Excellence in Photonics and Quantum Science which aims at expanding experimental and theoretical research in widely defined optics and quantum physics including quantum optics and quantum information, ultrafast optics, atto-science, photonics, biophotonics, plasmonics, and related areas of research.

JQI Experimental Postdoctoral Fellows are expected to work in close collaboration with one or more JQI Fellows. The successful applicant has the freedom to choose from a variety of research areas. Quantum information science utilizes many different experimental platforms. At JQI, researchers can specialize in areas such as degenerate gases, quantum information with trapped ions, quantum optics, and superconducting qubits. Applicants are encouraged to explore the JQI website and to contact JQI Fellows to inquire about current research interests.
