We invite applications for a postdoctoral position in quantum information theory at the Free University of Berlin. The position is partially funded by the PASQuanS project of the Quantum Flagship initiative, securing additional scientific visibility. The successful candidate will work as part of the research group led by Professor Jens Eisert at the FU Berlin. The position is a full E13 position initially for two years, but may be extended. Berlin is - as the capital of Germany - one of the science hubs of Europe, and consistently ranked as one of the most attractive cities in Europe to live in.
