Designation/Position- Post Doctoral Research Associate Post

Raman Research Institute Bengaluru, Karnataka, India, invites application for Post Doctoral Research Associate Post from eligible and interested candidates.

About- The Raman Research Institute, funded by the Government of India, is a premier institute engaged in research in basic sciences.

The Quantum Information and Computing (QuIC) lab of RRI is working on a mega project on Quantum Experiments with Satellite Technology (QuEST) in collaboration with the UR Rao Satellite Centre (URSC) of the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) [http://www.rri.res.in/quic/landing_QKD.php]. The project is aimed at developing quantum communications technologies using satellites. As algorithmic breakthroughs and imminent advent of quantum computers both pose immense threats to classical key distribution based communication tools, quantum key distribution proves to be the only available means of providing information-theoretically secure avenues of secure communications, especially important in strategic sectors like banking and defence.
