It is our pleasure to announce a new NSERC CREATE program, called Quanta (QUantum Nanotechnology Training in Alberta), held jointly between the University of Alberta and the University of Calgary. We are looking for enthusiastic new graduate students to join us, and ask that you forward this email to all undergraduates in your program.
The Quanta program is specifically designed for incoming graduate students that have an interest in developing the next generation of quantum technologies. Students can work with truly state-of-the-art equipment, such as dry dilution refrigerators, ultra-cold atom machines, Canada’s best nanofabrication facilities, and a metropolitan fiber network. In addition to a rigorous academic education, graduate students will receive enhanced professional development training, to ensure that they are ready to excel in industry. Quanta students have reduced/eliminated TA loads, and will receive immediate top-up scholarships if they hold an NSERC award.
For more information, and for how to apply, see the attached poster and brochure. You can visit www.ualberta.ca/~quanta or any specific research groups below. If you have any questions please contact quanta@ualberta.ca.
We seek candidates with diverse backgrounds and we particularly encourage applications from women, persons with disabilities, Aboriginal Peoples, and visible minorities, to whom we may able to offer additional scholarships.
Sincerely,
John P. Davis
