Research Fellow (Physics)

SPMS conducts cutting-edge research in quantum science and technology, with strengths in quantum information theory, quantum communication, and quantum resource theories. We aim to advance both fundamental understanding and practical applications of quantum correlations and information processing.

We invite applications for a research position in quantum information science. The successful candidate will work on quantum resources and correlations, and explore their implications for quantum communication and related information-theoretic protocols. The role involves conducting independent research, publishing in leading journals, contributing to grant activities, and collaborating within an active quantum research environment.

• →

  Conduct high-quality research in quantum information theory, quantum resource theories, and quantum correlations (including temporal and operational correlations).

• →

  Develop theoretical frameworks connecting quantum resources to quantum communication and related protocols.

• →

  Publish research findings in leading peer-reviewed journals.

• →

  Contribute to grant deliverables and assist in identifying new funding opportunities.

• →

  Collaborate with internal and external research partners.

• →

  Supervise graduate students and mentor junior researchers (where applicable).

• →

  Contribute to seminars, workshops, and academic service activities within the Department.

Applicants must hold a PhD in Physics or a related discipline, with a strong research track record in quantum information theory or quantum foundations. Expertise in quantum correlations, coherence, entanglement, or resource theories is required. Strong analytical skills and publication record are essential. Experience in quasiprobability methods or operational approaches to quantumness is advantageous.

We regret to inform that only shortlisted candidates will be notified.
