About this position

Postdoctoral Fellowship in Experimental Quantum Matter at the Quantum Matter Lab, Niels Bohr Institute, University of Copenhagen (Copenhagen, Denmark).

This postdoctoral opening is in experimental quantum matter and condensed matter physics, with a focus on topologically protected synthetic matter in 1D and 2D arrays of semiconductor-superconductor Josephson junctions. The project explores novel states and dynamics of emergent quantum states, including topological matter and flat bands.

The research environment is the Quantum Matter Lab, part of Condensed Matter Physics at the Niels Bohr Institute. The group works on experimental solid-state physics, quantum nanoelectronics, and device physics, with close interaction with theorists and possible industry collaborations. The position is based in Copenhagen.

Applicants should have a PhD in condensed matter experimental physics, mesoscopic electron transport, or experimental solid-state quantum information science. Relevant experience includes nanofabrication, low-temperature measurements using a cryofree dilution refrigerator, low-noise and high-frequency electrical measurement techniques, data analysis, and scientific writing in English.

The appointment is fixed-term for 2 years with a possibility of extension. Salary starts at 35,000 DKK/month (approx. 4,700 EUR, August 2026 level), plus pension contributions; supplements may be negotiated depending on qualifications.

Application deadline: 20 September 2026, 23:59 GMT+2.

How to apply: Submit the application electronically through the APPLY NOW portal. Include a CV, diplomas (Master and PhD degree or equivalent), and a complete publication list. You may also list up to three scientists you have worked with closely for possible reference checks.
