Join Our Team at the School of Physical and Mathematical Sciences, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore
The School of Physical and Mathematical Sciences (SPMS) at NTU Singapore hosts research and education activities in two divisions: Division of Mathematical Sciences (MAS) and Division of Physics and Applied Physics (PAP). MAS covers diverse topics ranging from pure mathematics to the applications of mathematics in cryptography, computing, business, and finance. PAP covers many areas of fundamental and applied physics, including quantum information, condensed matter physics, biophysics, and photonics. Over the years, SPMS has attracted talented individuals from around the world and Singapore to join as scientific leaders and researchers.
The laboratory of Professor Nelly Ng at the School of Physical and Mathematical Sciences is seeking a Research Associate to conduct research in the area of quantum thermodynamics, in particular for areas of interest such as (but not limited to) many-body quantum systems and/or catalytic resource theories. This is in line with the mission of the university to work on cutting-edge research topics that are of both fundamental and practical importance.
Key Responsibilities:
The candidate is expected to, but not limited to, engage in the following research directions:
- Utilize techniques and tools in quantum information theory in the study of quantum thermodynamics
- Conduct research in understanding the fundamental limits of controlling out-of-equilibrium quantum systems
Job Requirements:
- Master’s degree, in the area of quantum information and quantum thermodynamics
- Consistent research track record in terms of publication for the above areas of study. In particular, the following possible areas are:
- Studying the extension of resource-theoretic quantum thermodynamics to account for practical considerations
- Exploring the applications of theoretical quantum thermodynamics to study many-body systems
- Establishing the precise role of catalysis in quantum thermodynamics
The College of Science seeks a diverse and inclusive workforce and is committed to equality of opportunity. We welcome applications from all and recruit on the basis of merit, regardless of age, race, gender, religion, marital status and family responsibilities, or disability.
We regret to inform that only shortlisted candidates will be notified.
