Job description

The College of Science seeks a diverse and inclusive workforce and is committed to equality of opportunity. We welcome applications from all and recruit on the basis of merit, regardless of age, race, gender, religion, marital status and family responsibilities, or disability.

This is a call for hiring researchers to conduct high quality research in the area of quantum thermodynamics.

Key Responsibilities: 

The candidate is expected to, but not limited to, engage in the following research directions:

  • Utilize techniques and tools in quantum information theory in the study of quantum thermodynamics

  • Conduct research in understanding the fundamental limits of controlling out-of-equilibrium quantum systems

Job Requirements:

An ideal candidate should possess a minimum Master's Degree in the area of quantum information and quantum thermodynamics. The candidate should have a consistent research track record in terms of publication for the above areas of study.

In particular, the following possible areas:

  • Studying the extension of resource-theoretic quantum thermodynamics to account for practical considerations

  • Exploring the applications of theoretical quantum thermodynamics to study many-body systems

  • Establishing the precise role of catalysis in quantum thermodynamics

We regret to inform that only shortlisted candidates will be notified.
