Postdoctoral Fellowships in Quantum Optics

To expand on their research and to educate excellent scientists, the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics (MPQ) and the Harvard Quantum Optics Center (HQOC) join their expertise with the creation of the Max Planck/Harvard Research Center for Quantum Optics (MPH-Quantum). Research and educational activities take place in fundamental and applied fields in the quantum realm including sensing, metrology, control, chemistry, many-body systems, and information science.

Further details about MPH-Quantum can be found at http://www.mph-quantum.mpg.de/

We invite applications for Postdoctoral Fellowships in Quantum Science. Fellowships are awarded for the duration of two years to outstanding scientists. The successful candidate will be based either at Harvard or at MPQ, with the opportunity to take advantage of our unique cross-institutional environment. Joint projects between Harvard and MPQ are encouraged.

Applicants should have completed their PhD no more than three years before starting the fellowship. The starting date is flexible, but should be within a year of application.
