Copenhagen, Copenhagen, Denmark Quantum Flagship Full time
Postdoc in Theoretical Quantum Optics and Quantum Information

University of Copenhagen, Niels Bohr Institute

One postdoc position is available in the theoretical quantum optics group at the Niels Bohr Institute, University of Copenhagen. The position will be part of the quantum internet alliance, a European project aiming at building large-scale quantum networks. The postdoc will participate in designing and modelling the prototype quantum internet that is scheduled to be built at the end of the project. Additionally, the successful candidate may work on other activities within the area of theoretical quantum optics, quantum networks, and quantum information.

The successful applicant will be part of the theoretical quantum optics group and the center of excellence for Hybrid Quantum Networks (Hy-Q) funded by the Danish National Research Foundation. The group focuses on developing theories for the physical implementation of quantum information processing and has a very close collaboration with the experimental activities within Hy-Q, which include optomechanics, single photon emitters, and nanophotonics. The center has approximately 50 researchers within quantum networks and is characterized by close daily interactions between the members of the center, both socially and scientifically.

The postdoc's duties will include research within theoretical quantum optics and quantum information. The post may also include performance of other duties.

The position is open from 1 July 2025 or as soon as possible thereafter. The position is for 2 years.

The University wishes our staff to reflect the diversity of society and thus welcomes applications from all qualified candidates regardless of personal background.

Terms of Employment
The position is covered by the Memorandum on Job Structure for Academic Staff. Terms of appointment and payment accord to the agreement between the Ministry of Taxation and The Danish Confederation of Professional Associations on Academics in the State. Negotiation for salary supplement is possible.

The application, in English, must be submitted electronically on the application page.

Please Include

  1. Diplomas (Master and PhD degree or equivalent)
  2. Research plan – description of current and future research plans
  3. Separate reprints of 3 particularly relevant papers

The deadline for applications is 1 April 2025, 23:59 GMT+2

After the expiry of the deadline for applications, the authorized recruitment manager selects applicants for assessment on the advice of the Interview Committee. Interviews will be held in April and May.
