quantum sensing

We are offering 10 PhD (for 3 years) or PostDoc positions (for 2 years) and 2 independent Center Postdoctoral Fellow positions (for 3 years) at the newly established Center for Quantum Technologies (QuTe) at Saarland University with a focus on Physics, Computer Science or Mathematics.

Within the next few months, a new Center for Quantum Technologies (QuTe) will be founded at Saarland University. This Center pursues research on quantum technologies in a broad sense, on the „hardware“ side (in quantum physics, quantum optics and quantum engineering) as well as on the „software“ side (in quantum information, theoretical physics / computer science / mathematics and quantum computing).

The PhD candidates will have a Master’s degree in Physics, Computer Science or Mathematics and they are interested in doing a PhD project with one of the following group leaders at QuTe: Prof. Christoph Becher (Experimental Physics, Quantum Optics),Prof. Markus Bläser (Theoretical Computer Science, Complexity Theory), Prof. Jonas Haferkamp (Mathematics, Quantum Information Theory), Prof. Giovanna Morigi (Theoretical Quantum Physics), Prof. Peter P. Orth (Theoretical Condensed Matter Physics, Quantum Computing), Prof. Moritz Weber (Mathematics, Quantum Symmetries), Prof. Frank Wilhelm-Mauch (Theoretical Physics, Quantum Computing).

The PostDoc candidates will have a PhD in Physics, Computer Science or Mathematics, with a PhD project relevant to the QuTe research areas, such as quantum computing, quantum information, quantum algorithms, quantum optics, quantum physics, complexity theory or quantum mathematics, amongst others.

The candidates for the Center Postdoctoral Fellow positions hold a PhD and they have an excellent and publication research record in Quantum Technologies in a broad sense, for instance in Physics, Computer Science, Mathematics or Systems Engineering or in related fields. They are willing to work interdisciplinary. The Center Fellows are employed directly at QuTe and they will receive support in building their own research group, including the acquisition of third-party funding. Collaborations with the above mentioned group leaders and with the Forschungszentrum Jülich is encouraged.

We look forward to receiving your meaningful online application by 16.12.2025 to bewerbung@uni-saarland.de. Please include the reference number W2741 in the subject line of the e-mail.

• A letter of application, which should be addressed to the group leaders of the Center for Quantum Technologies and which should include your private address, phone number and email,
• For PhD candidates, your CV/résumé including details of study program and electronic copies of your certificates,
• Additionally for PostDoc and Center Fellow candidates, details of your PhD project and your subsequent research, your teaching experience (if applicable), a complete list of publications highlighting your three most relevant publications regarding your planned research at QuTe, a statement of your scientific experience/interests and of your previous and planned research, and your record in acquiring third-party funding,
• A statement of motivation for doing a PhD/PostDoc at QuTe, for the Center Fellows a statement sketching your
  vision of interdisciplinarity at QuTe and for pushing forward quantum technologies in general.

If you have any questions, please contact the group leaders of QuTe directly or Prof. Moritz Weber (email: weber@math.uni-sb.de) for general questions on the planned Center for Quantum Technologies (QuTe).

The scholarships offer a competitive stipend of AUD $41,650 per year for 3.5 years, a $15,000 training allowance, a $5,000 travel allowance, an $840 publication allowance and a one-off $5,000 cost-of-living payment. For Domestic students only.

This post is funded by the ‘Integrating quantum sensors with bespoke quantum error
correction’ project supported by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council
(EPSRC). The task of Ouyang’s group at the University of Sheffield considers the integration
of quantum error correction (QEC) with quantum metrology, in particular, the channel
estimation problem. This project will study specialized quantum error correction codes that
maximise the quantum advantage attainable in the quantum estimation of classical fields,
while also considering reasonable physical constraints that are imposed by the physical
system.

The position is supported by the Wallenberg Centre for Quantum Technology (WACQT), a 12-year initiative aimed to bring Swedish academia and industry to the forefront of quantum technology. The centre is funded mainly by the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation with additional contributions from the participating universities and industry.

We are hiring an experimental research assistant within the Quantum Light and Matter group at Durham, working on quantum sensing with ultracold molecules in optical tweezer arrays. This position is funded by the "UK-Canada quantum for science research collaborations" scheme and there will be opportunities to travel to Canada as part of a researcher exchange program with the University of Waterloo.

International applicants are encouraged to apply and will be eligible for the Durham University Visa Reimbursement Scheme.
