University of Warsaw, Faculty of Physics, seeks to fill five research positions supported by the project Photonic implementations of quantum-enhanced technologies. The project, funded under the TEAM programme operated by Foundation for Polish Science, will focus on controlling quantum phenomena in photonic systems to enable new modes of information processing and communication.

In celebration of the 100-year anniversary of Niels Bohr’s Atomic Model, the Niels Bohr Institute, University of Copenhagen announces three PhD stipends for exceptionally talented students. The recipients must start their studies before October 1 2010.
