Just Landed
The Quantum Cavity Optomechanics group at the Institute for Quantum Computing, University of Waterloo, is hiring postdoctoral researchers for quantum technology research. One postdoctoral project focuses on developing superconducting circuits operating at micro- and millimeter-wave frequencies. The work is aimed at enabling future quantum technologies, including optomechanical devices and quantum-limited amplifiers. A second project uses theoretical methods to study interactions between membrane...

The National Research Council Canada (NRC) is recruiting a two-year Postdoctoral Fellow in Ottawa through its Metrology Research Centre. The project, “Squeezing the Limits: A Quantum-Enhanced Raman Imaging Platform for Ultratrace Chemical Detection,” will develop a quantum-enhanced chemical imaging platform based on stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) microscopy. The research will combine signal enhancement, background suppression, and quantum noise reduction to improve sensitivity in chemical ima...

Questions
Should I email professors before submitting my PhD application?
Yes. A well-targeted email can significantly improve your chances in many research-based programs.
What should I include in my first email to a professor?
A brief introduction, research interests aligned with the professor’s work, CV, and (if available) publication links.
How long should I wait before following up with a professor?
Typically 7–14 days. One polite follow-up is considered acceptable.
Is it better to send the same email to many professors?
No. Personalized emails that clearly match the professor’s research receive far better response rates.
Do I need a full research proposal when contacting professors?
Usually not initially — a short research summary is sufficient unless the professor specifically requests a full proposal.
