Highly motivated candidates, with a strong research background in theoretical quantum optics, are sought to join a CQT group lead by Dimitris G. Angelakis. The current group consists of four postdocs, two PhD students and a number of visitors. The research to be undertaken lies in the interface of quantum optics, condensed matter and QIP with emphasis in the simulation of quantum many body effects with atomic, photonic and polaritonic systems. Beyond theoretical quantum opticians, exceptional candidates from condensed matter theory and/or quantum information theory will also be considered.

Candidates should have knowledge and/or experience in one or more of the following three areas:
Circuit QED.
Quantum nonlinear optics in slow light set ups(including cold atom/Rydberg systems).
Solid state Cavity QED (especially photonic crystals with quantum dots).

Experience in collaborating with experimentalists in any the above areas will be an advantage.

Strong candidates from cold atoms and ions for QIP may also apply.Applicants also should posses a strong background in numerical modeling of physical problems in the above areas (knowledge of sophisticated numerical techniques such as DMRG and TEBD methods will be a plus).

The positions are available as soon as possible (for 1+1 years in the first instance extendable to three) and we accept applications until a suitable candidate is found. Applications should be sent by email to dimitris.angelakis-at-gmail.com. They should contain a two page summary of their past research, one page of future plans, a CV and the contact details (email) of three referees

Informal enquiries can be sent to [email protected]

Salary scale between S$ 55.000-75.000 per annum depending on experience. Tax in Singapore for this level is roughly 5%. Information on living costs (slightly outdated) at
