About this position

PHOTONIQC is an MSCA Doctoral Network focused on building on Europe’s leadership in integrated quantum photonics to address scalability in quantum computing. The network offers 15 PhD positions across a wide European consortium of universities, national laboratories, and industrial partners.

The projects span the full quantum-photonics stack: design and modelling of highly efficient single-photon sources; experimental demonstrations of single-photon emission with high purity, efficiency, and indistinguishability; quantum-dot and cavity devices; low-noise quantum-dot heterostructures; integrated quantum photonic circuits with reduced thermal dissipation; photon-number-resolving superconducting detectors; cluster-state architectures; secure delegated and distributed quantum computing protocols; tomography and simulability of partially distinguishable bosons; variational quantum algorithms; and quantum memory interfaces for photonic sources.

Participating hosts include the Technical University of Denmark, CNRS, CEA, Ruhr University, National Research Council, Single Quantum, Quandela, University of Edinburgh, International Iberian Nanotechnology Laboratory, Sapienza University of Rome, and Sorbonne University. The projects are spread across Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Portugal, and other European sites, giving candidates a strongly international training environment.

The positions are intended for doctoral candidates with a Master’s degree or equivalent. As an MSCA Doctoral Network, the opportunity is oriented toward early-stage researchers and combines research training with theoretical, experimental, and industrial secondments depending on the project. Individual projects may require experience or interest in quantum optics, photonics, nanofabrication, detector physics, integrated optics, theoretical quantum information, or related engineering and physics disciplines.

Funding is provided under Horizon Europe - MSCA, and the network advertises 15 doctoral positions in total. The general application website is available now, while the separate job advertisements for the individual doctoral candidate roles will open soon. Candidates should consult the project-specific ads for the exact deadlines and application instructions.

What's required

Applicants must have a Master Degree or equivalent in engineering or a closely related field. The post is for first-stage researchers (R1) and is open to PhD candidates; additional discipline-specific skills may be expected in quantum optics, photonics, nanofabrication, experimental or theoretical quantum technologies depending on the individual DC project.

How to apply

The separate job ads will open soon. Visit the PHOTONIQC website and follow the link under the relevant DC profile once each position is posted. Check the individual ads for the specific deadline for each doctoral candidate project.
