Postdoc Positions in Quantum Information, Signal Processing, and Wireless Communications at KTH KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Sweden

KTH Royal Institute of Technology is advertising postdoctoral opportunities in two closely related research areas: quantum information / quantum algorithms for machine learning and optimization, and signal processing / wireless communications.

The first position is a postdoc in quantum algorithms for machine learning at the School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. The research focus is quantum information and computation with applications to machine learning, optimization, and future communication systems. The role is primarily research-oriented, with some project management and coordination in an EU-funded project involving several European universities and companies.

The second call is for two postdocs in wireless communications, specializing in signal processing and transmission techniques for multiple-antenna communications. This position is also research-focused and connected to an EU-funded project with collaboration across European universities and companies.

Eligibility highlights: applicants must hold a doctoral degree or equivalent foreign degree by the time the employment decision is made. Strong backgrounds are required in the relevant area: quantum information and computation for the first postdoc, and wireless communications, signal processing, and optimization techniques for the second. Both calls emphasize scientific excellence, strong analytical and problem-solving skills, ability to work independently, and excellent English. Preferred qualifications include a PhD obtained within the last three years, collaboration skills, teaching potential, and awareness of diversity and equal opportunity issues.

Funding and employment: these are temporary full-time postdoctoral positions at KTH, funded through EU projects, with employment for up to two years. No stipend amount is stated.

Application window: the deadline is 6 April 2026. Applicants must submit the complete application through KTH's recruitment system, including CV, diplomas and grades, translations if needed, a short research statement, three relevant publications, and contact details for two referees.
