About this position

PhD Position in Theoretical Physics – Dipolar Quantum Gases

The Dipolar Quantum Gas Group at the University of Innsbruck and the Institute for Quantum Optics and Quantum Information (IQOQI) in Innsbruck, Austria, invites applications for a PhD position in theoretical quantum many-body physics.

The project may address numerical simulation of dipolar many-body systems using the Gross-Pitaevskii equation, including beyond-mean-field effects; dipolar many-body phases and quantum phase transitions in bulk systems; and dipolar quantum mixtures. The successful candidate will join an international, collaborative team working with highly magnetic erbium and dysprosium atoms in ground and Rydberg states.

The group offers scientific ownership, access to a leading quantum science environment, collaboration with experimental and theoretical teams, and training in advanced experimental and theoretical atomic, molecular, and optical (AMO) techniques.

Applicants should hold a Master’s degree in Physics or a closely related field and have a strong background in quantum mechanics and atomic physics. A relevant Master’s thesis and experience with ultracold quantum gases, quantum many-body physics, computational quantum physics, numerical simulations, or computational methods are advantageous. Women are particularly encouraged to apply.

The gross salary is €2,832.10 per month, paid 14 times annually, according to Austrian Science Fund salary scales. The application deadline is 27 December 2026, with review beginning 5 November 2026 and continuing until the position is filled.

To apply, email a CV, motivation letter, Bachelor’s and Master’s transcripts, and at least one reference person’s name to [email protected].
