The successful applicant will perform theoretical research on all-optical quantum computing, communication, simulation, metrology, generation of non-classical states of light, and/or related topics. An ideal candidate would possess a strong background and research experiences in theoretical quantum optics, quantum information theory, linear-optics quantum computation and/or photonic quantum communication with a Ph.D. degree. He/she is also expected to closely collaborate with experimental group(s).
The appointment will be for three years. The level of appointment and salary are commensurate with qualifications and experience. On-campus accommodations with reasonable rates are available for non-Korean researchers working in Seoul National University.
