Postdoctoral Researcher In Theoretical Quantum Information and Quantum Optics at the Interface with Gravity
Stevens Institute of Technology
The Department of Physics in the Charles V. Schaefer, Jr. School of Engineering and Science at Stevens Institute of Technology (Stevens) invites applications for a postdoctoral position in theoretical physics. The postdoc will work in the group of Assistant Professor Igor Pikovski.
We are looking for candidates to work on theoretical aspects of the interface between quantum information theory and gravity. The research will focus on fundamental and experimental signatures of gravity in quantum optical systems, quantum sensing, and on low-energy signatures of quantum gravity. Applicants should have earned a Ph.D. in theoretical physics and have research experience in the fields of quantum information theory, quantum optics, AMO physics, gravitational waves, and/or fundamental theory.
The position will be for 2 years, with the possibility of extension depending on performance and funding availability. Reviews will begin on October 21st and continue until the position is filled. Expected starting date is early 2025.
For any questions and inquiries, please contact Professor Igor Pikovski: pikovski@stevens.edu. Current research activities in the Pikovski group can be found at https://www.pi-quantum.com/research. Research projects may also include possibilities for collaborations with leading experimental groups in AMO physics. The Stevens physics department hosts active research groups in diverse areas of quantum science, such as in quantum engineering, quantum open systems and quantum foundations, as well as a Center for Quantum Science and Engineering (CQSE).
