The theoretical research group of Prof. Lorenza Viola is looking for a highly motivated, well-qualified postdoctoral fellow interested in conducting research in theoretical quantum information science, with emphasis on open quantum systems and quantum control engineering. Focus topics include (but are not limited to): methods for control, characterization, and verification in intermediate-scale open quantum systems; noise-tailored error correction and dynamical control for quantum fault tolerance; quantum sensing and metrology in spatiotemporally correlated noise environments; many-body quantum sensors.
We are a very active and interdisciplinary research group with interests ranging from abstract theory to experimental implementations, and are presently engaged in a number of national and international collaborations. Please visit our webpage at https://sites.dartmouth.edu/lorenzaviola-group/ for additional detail and ongoing projects, or feel free to inquire directly.
The position is fully funded for a two-year period, further renewable subject to continued funding and satisfactory performance. No formal teaching duties are envisioned; however, opportunities to engage in lecturing will be available if desired, and participation in graduate-student mentoring is anticipated. The starting date is negotiable, though earlier starting dates will be highly preferred. Priority will be given to applicants with relevant expertise in one or more of the above focus areas.
Qualified candidates should email a complete application — cover letter, current Vitae, and a research statement (3 pages max) focusing on motivations for joining and future plans — as well as arrange for 3 recommendation letters to be sent electronically to Prof. Lorenza Viola, Lorenza.Viola@Dartmouth.edu. Review of applications will continue until the position is filled.
