We are accepting applications for a postdoctoral position to be part of a collaborative research project between the Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) at the University of Waterloo and the Quantum and Nanotechnologies Research Centre at the National Research Council Canada (NRC).
Are you a highly-motivated early-career researcher with a passion for discovering novel disruptive applications for quantum computers? Are you interested in interdisciplinary research where the rigour of mathematics and computer science meets the wonders of quantum computation? If so, we invite you to join our team as a Postdoctoral researcher to explore the potential of quantum computational advantage using fault-tolerant quantum algorithms.
Waterloo Funding for Postdoctoral Fellows
We are pleased to present Waterloo-specific funding opportunities below.
Applicants are encouraged to review the eligibility criteria for the three programs (below) before submitting their application; applicants may only apply to one of the three funding opportunities.
The 2024 competition is now open.
- Provost’s Program for Interdisciplinary Postdoctoral Scholars
- Provost’s Program for Black and Indigenous Postdoctoral Scholars
Note: Candidates applying for a postdoctoral fellowship are encouraged to learn more about the prestigious Banting Postdoctoral Fellowship offered by the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC). Follow the University of Waterloo timeline for the application.
Research associate positions
The successful candidate will develop a new program in the growth of layered magnetic topological compounds and study their transport properties in the atomically thin limit. Job responsibilities involve setting up new infrastructure for the synthesis of high-quality single crystals, assembly and fabrication of 2D heterostructures in inert atmosphere, and carrying out novel electronic and spintronic experiments on devices at low temperature.
