Harvard Quantum Initiative Prize Postdoctoral Fellow
The Harvard Quantum Initiative in Science and Engineering (HQI) seeks postdoctoral fellows for the academic year 2026-2027. The HQI is an interdisciplinary initiative that pairs basic science with quantum engineering, taking place across the departments of Physics, Chemistry and Chemical Biology, 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 for Postdoctoral Fellowships in Quantum Science and Engineering. The initial appointment is for one year at a time with renewal for a second and third year contingent upon continued funding and satisfactory performance.
