Yes, it’s that time of year. The leaves are turning orange, sending a color coded signal to your head that it is, once again, time to apply for jobs. Here’s one from the center of the quantum computing universe (the existence of a prefered reference frame does not imply that the laws of physics aren’t Lorentz invariant in all (*ahem* intertial *ahem*) reference frames):
Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics is accepting applications for postdoctoral positions in the areas of quantum gravity, string theory, quantum information, cosmology, quantum foundations and particle physics. Applicants in related areas, such as condensed matter physics, are also encouraged to apply. The postdoctoral positions are normally for a period of three years. Outstanding candidates may also be considered for a senior postdoctoral position with a five-year term.
The deadline for applications is November 5, 2007, but applications will be considered until all positions are filled.

If the Santa Fe Institute is the Ivory Tower, the Perimeter Institute is its Canadian sister (blessed be the Canadian dollar which is bring dollars Seattle’s way.)
I note there are also other openings 1 year visiting exchanges. It seems you are assuming a younger audience in your blog 🙂 Well, I can not apply, too much work… perhaps one week sometime.
The laws of physics are Lorentz invariant in all *inertial* reference frames. Perhaps the fact that Waterloo appears to be the center of the quantum computing universe simply arises from the fact that we are looking at it from a non-inertial frame.
Don’t be silly: the Santa Fe Institute is the Adobe Tower.
