POST-DOC IN QUANTUM COMPUTING

The Laboratory for Research in Computer Science (LRI) affiliated with
the CNRS and the Universite Paris-Sud at Orsay, France offers one,
possibly two



One-year post-doc positions in quantum computation.



Starting date is September 2003 (negotiable). The post-doc is funded
by the European Union's Fifth Framework project RESQ (Resources for Quantum
Information).


The successful candidate will join the quantum group
(http://www.lri.fr/quantum/) which is part of
the Algorithms and Complexity team of the LRI (http://www.lri.fr/algo).
The members of the group are Christophe Durr, Julia Kempe
Sophie Laplante, Frederic Magniez, Miklos Santha and Jean-Pierre
Tillich.


The main research interests of the group are quantum algorithms and
complexity.


Applications should be sent by March 25, 2003. Later applications will
also be accepted until the positions are filled. Please send
the following application material to Miklos.Santha@lri.fr:


- CV, including a list of publications

- statement of interest

- 2 or 3 recent publications

- Contact information for 3 references


For more information please email Miklos.Santha@lri.fr.
