About this position

Two fully funded PhD positions are available in the research group of Assistant Professor Mahdi Chehimi at the American University of Beirut (AUB), Lebanon. The positions are open to both Lebanese and international students interested in advancing the field of quantum technologies. Research topics include quantum sensing, distributed quantum computing, multi-agent quantum reinforcement learning, quantum communication networks, and quantum optics. These projects are part of a broader initiative to build and expand a dedicated quantum lab at AUB.

Applicants should have a Master’s degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) or a closely related field, with strong foundations in physics and quantum concepts. Solid skills in linear algebra and mathematical reasoning are required. Prior research experience is highly recommended, and a publication record is a strong plus. Experience in optics or quantum labs is strongly recommended but not strictly required for highly motivated candidates with strong fundamentals.

All positions offer full tuition coverage and a competitive monthly stipend or salary. International students receive additional benefits, including housing support and yearly home travel support. The application process requires candidates to fill out a Google Form and submit an official application to the AUB Graduate School (ECE Ph.D.) by March 12, 2026. Only candidates who complete the official AUB application by the deadline will be considered.

These PhD opportunities are ideal for students passionate about quantum technologies, quantum computing, and related fields, and who are eager to contribute to the growth of a new quantum research lab at a leading institution in Lebanon.
