About this position
Postdoctoral position in theoretical quantum nanomechanics at Laboratoire Ondes et Matière d’Aquitaine (LOMA), CNRS & Université de Bordeaux, in Bordeaux, France.
The project is part of the EU Horizon Europe PATHFINDEROPEN initiative MECH-QUBIT and focuses on the theoretical development of mechanical qubits based on the coupling between mechanical modes of suspended bilayer graphene and quantum dots. The work sits at the interface of quantum mechanics, condensed matter physics, quantum optics, and quantum technologies, with close collaboration with experimental groups at ICFO (Spain) and RWTH Aachen (Germany).
Applicants should have a PhD in Theoretical Physics (or expect to complete it by the start date), with a strong background in quantum mechanical systems, condensed matter physics, or quantum optics. Experience in theoretical modeling of quantum systems is highly desirable, and strong English communication skills are required. The position is subject to French PPST regulations and requires authorization from the French MESR before appointment.
The appointment is for 24 months, with a flexible start date up to December 2026. Salary is competitive and aligned with French CNRS standards. Applications are reviewed immediately and will remain open until the position is filled.
Apply via the CNRS portal using the official application link. No French translation of documents is needed at this stage.
