Doctorate Fellowship in Foundations of Quantum Mechanics
Quantum Mechanics, Theoretical Physics and Probability Theory PhD position at São Paulo State University — Institute for Theoretical Physics
About
Develop and apply quantum resource theory for Extended Wigner’s Friend scenarios, where the presence of another observer can affect measurement outcomes. The work involves analytical quantum information and probability theory, together with numerical simulation, and relates to Bell nonlocality. This FAPESP-funded doctoral position is expected to start in March 2027. Apply by 16 November 2026 with a CV, a motivation letter of up to two pages and contact information for two academic referees, following the official advertisement.
Requirements
Master’s degree in physics or a related field; experience in quantum information or quantum foundations; scientific-paper writing experience and English proficiency. A strong academic record is desirable.
