Call for Applications: Postdoc and PhD Position in Foundations of Quantum Mechanics

The workgroup Philosophy of Physics at the Humanities and Arts Department of the Technion is

looking for a Postdoctoral fellow and a Ph.D. candidate for an ISF-funded research project on the

foundations of quantum mechanics.

Start date: flexible (as soon as possible)

Duration: min. 2 years

Funding: full scholarship, no teaching requirement

The project, led by Dr. Dustin Lazarovici, investigates the longstanding problem of predicting the

arrival times of quantum particles and whether new arrival-time experiments could help decide

between different versions (or “interpretations”) of quantum mechanics.

Successful candidates will receive a full scholarship and the opportunity to conduct research on a

topic of great physical and philosophical relevance.

Required qualifications are a degree (Ph.D. for Postdoc, M.A. or equivalent for Ph.D.) in physics,

philosophy, or mathematics, as well as interest and expertise in the foundations of quantum

mechanics (ideally, Bohmian mechanics) or numerical simulations.

Please send applications, including a cover letter, CV, and a work sample to dustin@technion.ac.il
