Quantiki

The Faculty of Computer Science at the Ruhr-Universität Bochum invites applications for the position of a Professor open rank W3 Tenured or W2 Tenure Track to W3 (m/f/d) in Quantum Information commencing at the earliest possible date.

Successful applicants should demonstrate an outstanding track record, with a focus on any research area within quantum computing, such as, but not limited to, the following areas:

We are looking for a doctoral researcher for the Quantum Computing research group of Prof. Mariami Gachechiladze at the Technical University of Darmstadt, Germany. The position starts after 01.09.2026 and will focus on the group's new works in quantum system certification and characterization.

A successful candidate is expected to work on interdisciplinary projects within quantum computing and quantum information processing to develop new techniques for quantum certification and characterization algorithms.

A PhD position is available in the group of Prof. Stefan Willitsch at the University of Basel (Switzerland) on the development of a single-ion optical clock in collaboration with the Swiss Federal Institute of Metrology, the Paul Scherrer Institute and ETH Zurich within the new Swiss National Competence Center of Research “Precision”.

Project description

The project, funded by a Wallenberg Academy Fellowship, will trap cold strontium atoms near silicon nitride photonic waveguides to explore new regimes of light-matter coupling. The platform combines the long coherence of strontium transitions with the strong atom-light interactions enabled by nanophotonics. Research directions include entanglement-enhanced atomic sensors, superradiant lasing, and quantum simulation.

We are looking for a PhD candidate on the topics of quantum networks at QuTech, the research center of Delft University of Technology (TU Delft, the Netherlands) as part of the Questing Doctoral Network.

PhD Position Topic: Enhancing Entanglement Quality in Quantum Networks

The QuanG2 Autumn 2026 PhD call is now open, offering over 30 fully funded PhD projects in quantum sciences and technologies in Grenoble.

Selected candidates will join a 3-year international research programme and benefit from up to €10,000 in additional research funding for missions, conferences, and equipment.

This is a unique opportunity to join a cutting-edge quantum research environment. Applications close on 7 September 2026.
