Only two more weeks until our fifth Women in Quantum Summit will take place July 19 and 20! On both days, we will have a career fair for women who want to progress or start their careers in quantum. If you are interested in boosting your career in quantum, please send your CV to brooke@onequantum.org.
Whether you are searching for an internship, a postdoc position, or a position as a professional, taking part in our career pitch event is your opportunity to boost your career!
Thank you to our great employer partners for making the career fair possible. Since our last career fair, we have had 5 hires already from our database.
Send us your CV if you do not want to miss out on this amazing opportunity to participate in our career pitch, and don’t forget to register for our Summit. We are more than happy to welcome you!
OneQuantum Africa Weekly Meetings, Wednesday
Don't miss out on our OneQuantum Africa weekly meeting on July 7th at 7 PM CAT. We are glad to host Clarice D. Aiello from the University of California, Los Angeles.
Clarice is a quantum engineer interested in how quantum physics inform biology at the nanoscale. She is an expert on nanosensors harnessing room-temperature quantum effects in noisy environments.
Can spin physics be established – or refuted! – to account for physiologically relevant biosensing and be manipulated to technological and therapeutic advantage? This is the broad, exciting question that her Quantum Biology Tech (QuBiT) Lab wishes to address.
She will talk about quantum sensing and imaging technologies for biology. Please invite your quantum tech colleagues.
We look forward to having an interesting discussion.
Register now for free:
Register for the cocktail party that comes after the meeting at 1600hrs CAT for one on one networking.
See you at OneQuantum Africa for more collaboration, learning, and exchanges.
I hope you are having a great week.
