Subject: Post-doctoral Fellowship at the Physics of Information Group
To:
The Physics of Information Group,
at Instituto de Telecomunicacoes (in Lisbon, Portugal), is seeking to
hire a Post-doctoral Fellow to develop research in quantum information
theory or/and in quantum effects in biology.
The candidates are expected to have research experience in one of the
above areas, or in general in: open quantum systems, quantum optics,
condensed matter physics, biophysics, or information processing in
biological systems.
Application timing
Applications should be submitted by 20 September 2015, but earlier
applications are welcome.
The selected candidate is expected to start in January 2016, but earlier
starting dates are also possible. The position will remain open if

Applications that are incomplete or do not comply with the above
instructions may not be evaluated.
Short-listed applicants may be invited for one or several interviews
following the submission of their application.
Further information
The Physics of Information
Group promotes research and advanced training in the physics of
information in physical, chemical and biological systems. It develops
theory work and is involved in a number of experimental collaborations
and international
projects. It also
coordinates the new Doctoral Programme
in the Physics and Mathematics of Information, at the University of
Lisbon.
The group is part of Instituto de Telecomunicações (IT), a national
research lab in Lisbon, Portugal, rated Excellent in its last
international assessment.
The group is located in the campus of Instituto Superior Técnico (IST,
the School of Science and Engineering of the University of Lisbon), in
