Heising-Simons Fellows in Quantum Gravity
- Pasadena, United States
- Particle Theory
The Heising-Simons Collaboration on "Observational Signatures of Quantum Gravity" invites postdoctoral applications for up to five Heising-Simons Fellows in Quantum Gravity, to begin around September 1, 2027. The goal of this collaboration is to bring together theorists from diverse backgrounds to develop theoretically well-founded proposals of quantum gravity and explore their possible observational signatures. We believe that connecting formal advances in quantum gravity to the natural world we live in could result in a true breakthrough. We therefore seek a paradigm shift that brings theory
IQIM Fellowships
- Pasadena, United States
- Physics
The Institute for Quantum Information and Matter (IQIM) at Caltech invites applications for postdoctoral scholar positions in quantum science to begin in the fall 2027. IQIM research spans Caltech’s departments of physics, applied physics, materials science, electrical engineering, computer science, and chemistry, and addresses a wide variety of experimental and theoretical research topics. These topics include, but are not limited to, quantum information science, quantum many-body physics in condensed matter and atomic systems, topological states of matter, quantum optics and light-matter int
EXP Fellowships in Experimental Physics and Astrophysics
- Pasadena, United States
- Radio/mm/submm Astrophysics and Cosmology incl. instrumentation development
The Caltech Division of Physics, Mathematics and Astronomy offers a number of named Experimental Physics and Astrophysics Postdoctoral Prize Fellowships (EXP Fellowships). EXP Fellowships are for a three-year duration and to begin in the Fall 2027, or a mutually agreeable date. The EXP program has been established to offer scientists, typically within a few years after receipt of their PhD, the opportunity to pursue innovative experimental research, including but not limited to Astrophysics, Atomic Molecular and Optical Physics, Biophysics, Condensed Matter Physics, Soft Condensed Matter Physi
Burke-Leinweber Fellowships in Theoretical Physics and Astrophysics
- Pasadena, United States
- Astrophysics & Cosmology
The California Institute of Technology (Caltech) solicits applications for the Prize Fellowship program of the Walter Burke Institute for Theoretical Physics and the newly founded Leinweber Forum for Theoretical Physics. Fellowships are to begin in the Fall 2027, offering an opportunity for outstanding recent and new Ph.D. recipients to perform research at Caltech for three to four years. They are selected by a faculty committee representing all areas of theoretical physics and astrophysics at Caltech and are provided with: * flexibility, support, and freedom in choosing research directions wi
AWS Quantum Fellowships
- Pasadena, United States
- Quantum Information Science
Caltech invites applications for AWS Quantum Postdoctoral Scholar positions to begin in the fall 2027. These three-year postdoctoral research positions are sponsored by Amazon Web Services as part of a broader collaboration between AWS and Caltech addressing fundamental scientific and engineering challenges in quantum science. Applicants will be asked to name at least one Caltech faculty member they would like to work with. This faculty member should be affiliated with one of the following Caltech Divisions: Physics, Mathematics and Astronomy (PMA), Engineering and Applied Science (EAS), Chemi
