Postdoc position in Quantum Thermodynamics at Yukawa Institute for Theoretical Physics
March 19, 2026 - June 6, 2026 , Yukawa Institute for Theoretical Physics, Kyoto University, Japan

We invite applications for a 2.5-year postdoctoral position associated with the project 'Elucidating Universal Constraints on Speed, Accuracy, and Cost Rooted in Complexity'. The successful candidate will work with Tan Van Vu at the Yukawa Institute for Theoretical Physics. The project explores fundamental questions at the interface of quantum thermodynamics, quantum information theory, and quantum many-body physics.

Two Postdoc positions to work on Open Quantum-Classical Dynamics
Feb. 25, 2026 - March 29, 2026 , University of St. Andrews and University of Exeter

The successful applicants will work on developing techniques for modelling open quantum systems that are strongly interacting with their environment. The focus will be on making calculations more efficient by introducing an element of classicality into quantum models, or vice versa, upgrade classical models with a minimal quantum top-up. Position references: St. Andrews (AR3241) Exeter (Q13294) Applications to both positions are very much encouraged. Deadline: 27 March 2026.
