Quantum postdocs aplenty. First up, David Poulin sends a letter about multiple postdocs at the Université de Sherbrooke: I would like to bring to your attention several open postdoctoral positions in Sherbrooke on various aspects of theoretical and experimental quantum information processing, including: Experimental realization of spin qubits in various materials (GaAs, SiGe, InAs, NV [...]
Congrats to Alán Aspuru-Guzik for landing a spot on MIT Tech review’s 2010 Young Innovators under 35: In theory, quantum mechanics should offer perfect understanding of some of the most interesting events in chemistry–for example, the behavior of excited electrons, which controls such things as photosynthesis in plants. In practice, however, the necessary calculations are [...]
Some human resources departments have a title called “Generalist” who is someone that can basically handle a wide variety of issues. Academia, on the other hand, has a title called “Professor” who more often than not is an expert in one particular narrow area of their already fairly narrow profession. There are very few professors [...]
