Key responsibilities

Job Description
A 24-month postdoctoral position is available at the Laboratoire Ondes et Matière d’Aquitaine (LOMA) in Bordeaux, France, as part of the EU Horizon Europe PATHFINDEROPEN project MECH-QUBIT(MECHanical QUBIT With Enhanced Coherence). The successful candidate will work on the theoretical development of mechanical qubits based on the coupling between mechanical modes of suspended bilayer graphene and quantum dots.

PhD and PostDoc positions are available in the PHOENYX project at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin. PHOENYX aims to bring optical clock technology closer to real space applications by preparing core components of a compact strontium beam clock for an in-orbit demonstration. The project combines atomic physics, precision metrology, and space-system engineering, with possible tasks including laser spectroscopy on narrow optical transitions in strontium, design and testing of compact flight hardware, and data analysis or numerical modelling.

The world is changing at an ever-faster pace. At the Johannes Kepler University Linz, we work on technologies and the ideas of tomorrow on a daily basis. At the same time, we educate over 27,000 young people to meet the demands of today’s job market. In short, we are Upper Austria’s largest institution for education and research. Are you interested in being a part of shaping the future of Austria’s most attractive campus university? We currently have a job opening for a:

PhD Candidate position in Quantum Computing with Polaritons / Center for Quantum-Enabled Computing

Application deadline: Monday, June 22, 2026
Research group: Semiconductor Polariton Group
Employer: Center for Theoretical Physics PAS, Warsaw, Poland / Center for Quantum-Enabled Computing
Job type: PhD Candidate / Research Assistant

Postdoc (Adiunkt) – R2 researcher in open many-body quantum systems

The Center for Theoretical Physics of the Polish Academy of Sciences (CTP PAS) invites applications for two postdoctoral positions in the Modelling Center for Quantum Technologies group led by Dr. Federico Balducci in Warsaw, Poland.

The positions are part of the EUCENTRAL project “CENTER FOR QUANTUM TECHNOLOGIES MODELLING” funded by the European Commission under the HORIZON-WIDERA-2023-TALENTS-01-01 – ERA Chair programme.

Research Assistant / PhD Candidate – R1 researcher in open many-body quantum systems

The Center for Theoretical Physics of the Polish Academy of Sciences (CTP PAS) invites applications for two Research Assistant / PhD Candidate positions in the Modelling Center for Quantum Technologies group led by Dr. Federico Balducci in Warsaw, Poland.

The Director of the MAB QLAB Centre announces a recruitment process for a PhD student position in Group 1 - Quantum-secure communication of MAB QLAB, financed under International Research Agendas (MAB), Measure 2.1 of the European Funds for a Modern Economy 2021-2027 Programme (FENG), project FENG.02.01-IP.05-B013/25, Center for Hybrid Quantum-Classical Information Technologies – QLAB. The successful candidate will be offered an employment contract (umowa o pracę) at the University of Warsaw, on a non-academic-teacher research position.

A Research Fellow position is open in the group of Alexia Auffèves (CNRS-MajuLab,CQT, Singapore) to work on fundamental aspects of quantum energetics applied to quantum optics. The candidate will explore relations between energy and non-classicality, both to provide new ways to characterize non-classical quantum states of light, and optimize processes to produce them.
