About this position

The Institute for Quantum Optics and Quantum Information Vienna (IQOQI-Vienna), part of the Austrian Academy of Sciences, is offering a Postdoc (f/m/x) position in Vienna, Austria.

This is a full-time temporary research role in an internationally active environment focused on cutting-edge work in quantum optics and quantum information. The successful candidate will conduct independent research in one or more areas represented at the institute, including foundations of quantum mechanics, quantum communication and quantum networks, theory–experiment interfaces, and quantum aspects of gravity and spacetime physics.

The position is suited to a researcher with a completed PhD in physics and a strong early-career or postdoctoral track record. The postdoc is expected to develop original research ideas, contribute to the institute’s scientific profile, publish in leading peer-reviewed journals, present at conferences and workshops, and assist in the development of theoretical models or interpretation of experimental data. The role also includes contributions to grant applications and research proposals, as well as scientific mentoring of PhD and Master’s students.

IQOQI-Vienna emphasizes collaborative, inclusive, and internationally visible research. The institute seeks applicants who have prior research experience, evidence of seniority appropriate to their career stage, and experience supervising students and writing project proposals.

The position offers a minimum annual gross salary of EUR 70,167.44 on a full-time basis, with pro rata adjustment for part-time work, in line with the collective agreement of the Austrian Academy of Sciences. The deadline for applications is 31 December 2026 at 23:55 (Europe/Brussels).

Applicants should apply online and submit a detailed CV with a full publication list, a research statement, a PhD certificate, and contact details for at least two referees.
