The Harvard Quantum Initiative in Science and Engineering 
invites applications for 
 Postdoctoral Fellowships in Quantum Science and Engineering 
The Harvard Quantum Initiative in Science and Engineering (HQI) seeks postdoctoral fellows for academic year 2021-2022. The HQI is an interdisciplinary initiative that pairs basic science with quantum engineering, taking place across the departments of Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics and the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences. Active research areas include quantum information and computer science; quantum many-body physics; quantum precision measurements and fundamental physics; quantum metrology, sensing, and control; and quantum chemistry and materials science. 

We invite applications from current Harvard University graduate students for Postdoctoral Fellowships in Quantum Science and Engineering . Fellowships are awarded for a duration of one year to outstanding young scientists and engineers, with the possibility of a second and a third year via support from their research supervisor. Applicants should have a strong background for pursuit of research in their area of interest. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to work in a rich cross-disciplinary environment within the Harvard Faculty of Arts and Sciences and the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences. Applications focused on collaborative and cross-disciplinary research are especially encouraged. Preference will be given to candidates who wish to join a lab different from where they did their PhDs. 

Eligibility: This opportunity is limited to current Harvard graduate students who wish to undertake postdoctoral research at Harvard. Applicants will need to have completed their Ph.D. before the proposed start date. The start date is flexible, but should be within the calendar year 2021. 

Please note that there is a separate job posting for the HQI Postdoctoral Fellowship opportunity that is open to external candidates: https://academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/18517. Please note that the current application cycle for this position has closed and will reopen in Fall 2021. 

To apply: Submit a curriculum vitae, a list of publications, and a brief description of proposed research interests and goals (description of research interests and goals not to exceed 500 words). Applicants should also arrange for one letter of reference. All materials are accepted only through the website listed below. The selection committee will begin reviewing applications on May 14, 2021)
