QUROPE Quantum Information Processing and Communication in Europe

Location

The Mathematics department at the University of York would like to encourage and support applicants who wish to apply for an EPSRC-funded 5 year quantum technologies fellowship based in York.  These are available at both the 'early career' and 'established career' stages.  Within the department Paul Busch, Roger Colbeck and Stefan Weigert are pursuing research in quantum information and there is further expertise in York in the Physics and Computer Science departments, which are all part of a newly established Centre for Quantum Technologies.  More information about our staff and research can be found at
http://maths.york.ac.uk/www/PhysicsComputing

While we are open to applications for any area relevant to the call, we would particularly welcome those whose research interests include quantum key distribution, quantum randomness generation, quantum metrology or related topics.

There are two deadlines for submission of fellowship proposals and fixed start dates:
         * 16:00 on 30 October 2014 [Fixed start date of 01 April 2015]
         * 16:00 on 29 January 2015 [Fixed start date of 01 July 2015]

Note that certain eligibility criteria apply, further details of which can be found at

If you are interested in this opportunity, please make contact with one of us as soon as possible, and at least 1 month before either deadline.
