Fully funded ECE RA positions are available in multiple areas including experimental quantum optics, computational/theoretical physics, spin photonics, nanoscale heat transfer, machine learning, computer vision, magnetic materials, spintronics and nanofabrication. The funding is available for 5 years specifically towards a PhD position subject to satisfactory progress every year. Please see www.electrodynamics.org for details of projects.

Please send an email to Prof. Zubin Jacob (zjacob@purdue.edu) with your complete CV if you are interested. The ideal candidates will be from an EE, CE, ME, Physics or Nanofabrication background.

Applications are invited for postdoctoral positions in the group of Professor Yong P. Chen, the Quantum Matter and Devices (QMD) Laboratory affiliated with Purdue Physics, ECE, Purdue Quantum Science and Engineering Institute and Birck Nanotechnology Center. Candidates with strong background in experimental research in one of the following areas/topics are welcome:

1. Experimental condensed matter/nano physics & quantum devices: especially solid state quantum devices, quantum computing and quantum sensing (e.g., superconducting Josephson junctions, spin qubits, NV centers)
2. Experimental AMO physics and quantum optics: such as cold atom physics, quantum optics & photonics

Please send CV to yongchen@purdue.edu.

CLAN Labs at Purdue University is looking for a postdoctoral associate to work in the area of quantum machine learning. Areas of interests include quantum computing, reinforcement learning, and security. The postdoctoral associate will be expected to conduct fundamental and top-notched research in these areas.

Position Qualifications: We are seeking candidates that are bright, highly motivated, and mathematically inclined research scholars, who have the potential to publish in premier conferences and journals. Candidates may come from different backgrounds, such as Computer Science, Mathematics, Statistics, Physics, or a related field. Prior top-tier publications in related areas would be essential. All applicants must have strong mathematical and computing skills. Applicants are expected to be outstanding, intellectually curious researchers at an early stage of their scholarly career.

Application Process: The positions are available immediately and offered for one-year term, subject to renewal based on performance and funding availability. Review of applications will begin immediately and continue until the position is filled. Applicants must provide:

1. A curriculum vita including a list of publications
2. A research statement
3. Names and contact information for three potential references
4. A copy of at least 1 research paper (can be unpublished).

Please send all materials to Dr. Vaneet Aggarwal at vaneet@purdue.edu
