PostDoc

We are seeking a Postdoctoral Research Associate to develop the next generation of AI-enhanced quantum sensors, combining machine learning with cutting-edge quantum hardware to create autonomous scientific instruments.

Our research aims to build quantum sensors capable of deciding for themselves what measurement to perform next, learning from incoming data in real time, and continuously optimising their performance. These technologies have the potential to transform nanoscale imaging, single-molecule detection, quantum networking, and next-generation biomedical sensing.

Applications are invited for a Postdoctoral Research Fellow position in experimental quantum physics at the Department of Physics, POSTECH (Pohang University of Science and Technology), South Korea, funded through the QuantERA project ENTUNE - "Entangled and Tunable Nanomechanical Quantum Systems."

Applications are invited for two postdoctoral positions in quantum computing and artificial intelligence with Assistant Professor Yuxuan Zhang at the National University of Singapore, starting Spring or Fall 2027.

The group opens in December 2026 and is hosted by the School of Computing, with a joint appointment in the Department of Physics. As a founding member, you will have the chance to shape the group's research agenda and its working culture, build the computational infrastructure it runs on, and mentor its first students.

Postdoc Opening: Experimental Polariton Photonics & Neuromorphic Computing

The Center for Theoretical Physics PAS (CTP PAS) in Warsaw is seeking a
Postdoctoral Researcher to join the Q-ONE project,
focusing on experimental polariton-based neuromorphic computing.

The research combines nonlinear optics, semiconductor physics and artificial intelligence,
with an emphasis on exciton-polariton systems and optical information processing.

Applications are invited for a postdoctoral position in quantum information and quantum machine learning, and topological data analysis, funded by JST ASPIRE. The successful candidate will work with Ryu Hayakawa on quantum-enhanced feature design and algorithm development, with connections to topological data analysis and quantum computational complexity theory.

The position is based at the Yukawa Institute for Theoretical Physics, Kyoto University, and includes international collaboration with researchers in the Netherlands.
