Widely internationalized and committed to excellence in research, education, and innovation, École polytechnique is seeking a full-time Assistant Professor or Professor in Quantum Physics. As part of the Institut Polytechnique de Paris (IP Paris), École polytechnique offers a vibrant academic environment where interdisciplinary collaboration thrives. The successful candidate will join the Physics Department and contribute to IP Paris’s strategic initiative to expand its expertise in quantum sciences and technologies, with a strong connection to the Quantum Saclay Center, a collaborative platform with Université Paris Saclay.
Candidates must hold a PhD in quantum physics and demonstrate an international research profile through high-level publications or patents. They should present an original research project aligned with IP Paris’s scientific strategy and be prepared to establish their research activity within one of the physics laboratories at the research center. The ideal candidate will showcase a broad culture in quantum sciences, strong interdisciplinary research capabilities, and the ability to play a leading role in the scientific animation of the quantum science community, working closely with IP Paris laboratories and industry partners.
Teaching responsibilities include contributing to all academic levels (Bachelor, Polytechnique Engineering Cycle, and Master’s programs) with a focus on delivering both fundamental and specialized courses. The candidate must demonstrate excellent teaching skills, contribute to project-based learning, and strengthen the links between teaching, research, and applications. Applications are open until March 31 via the École Polytechnique Calliope* website. Required documents include a CV, a teaching project, a research project, and contact information for three referees (including international references). Interested candidates are encouraged to reach out to Silke Biermann, Christoph Kopper, Cédric Lorcé, Luca Perfetti, or Laurent Sanchez-Palencia for more information regarding teaching duties, research opportunities, and the Quantum Saclay Centre.
The selected candidate will be able to join one of the IPP research groups. Candidates interested in joining the PhiQus group, working at the intersection between Physics and Computer Science (https://team.inria.fr/phiqus/), are encouraged to contact Filippo Vicentini or myself (Marc-Olivier Renou) as soon as possible
