Funding is available for a postdoctoral fellowship in Relativistic Quantum Information.
Responsibilities
Successful candidates are expected to conduct full-time research with Principal Investigator Robert Mann.
Key activities include:
- Developing programs for detector response and entanglement harvesting in curved spacetime
- Generalizing quantum information theoretical concepts to black hole spacetimes
- Developing and proposing laboratory tests and/or simulations of relativistic quantum information phenomena, includingoptomechanical experiments, analog gravity simulations, and quantum optics simulation
Requirements
Candidates must possess a PhD and an excellent research track record. Expertise in Mathematica and MAPLE is very important, as well as in other languages such as C++ and Python. The ideal candidate will have expertise in both quantum information and in gravitation/general relativity. Candidates with excellent written and spoken communication skills will be prioritized.
Timing
Candidates will be considered immediately. Appointment is expected to begin Sept 1 2019 until November 30 2020, with possibility of renewal until August 31 2021.
