The Centre for Quantum Information and Quantum Control invites applications from outstanding candidates for its Prize Post-Doctoral Fellowship. The program provides funding for the very best postdoctoral applicants, both nationally and internationally, who will positively contribute to University of Toronto’s program in quantum science and technology. Total Award: $75,000 CAD/year renewable annually for up to three years provisional on the availability of funds and satisfactory progress ($50,000 provided by CQIQC; $25,000 plus maintenance and support costs provided by supervisor).
