About this position

Postdoctoral Researcher in Quantum Communications and Networking at the University of Luxembourg, within the Interdisciplinary Centre for Security, Reliability and Trust (SnT) and the Signal Processing and Communications (SigCom) research group.

This postdoctoral opening focuses on experimental quantum communications, quantum networking, quantum key distribution (QKD), free-space optical (FSO) links, photonics, optical systems, and integration into optical/networked testbeds. The role is strongly experimental and also involves shaping the research agenda, contributing to project deliverables, publishing in leading venues, and supporting PhD candidates.

Research keywords: quantum communications, quantum information networks, QKD, BB84, entanglement-based QKD, free-space optical communications, photonics, experimental optics, wireless/satellite communications, networking, 6G communication networks.

Eligibility highlights: applicants should hold a completed PhD in a relevant area and have a strong publication record. Required experience includes hands-on experimental optics, free-space and/or fiber systems, characterization of quantum communication systems, and programming/instrument-control skills such as Python, MATLAB, or LabVIEW. Fluent written and verbal English is mandatory.

Funding and contract: fixed-term full-time contract for 24 months. The yearly gross salary is EUR 87,306 for a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Luxembourg.

How to apply: prepare a CV, cover letter, and two reference contacts. Apply online through the university HR system; email applications will not be considered. Early application is encouraged because applications are processed upon receipt.

What's required

A completed PhD in a relevant area is required, along with a strong publication record in experimental quantum communications, photonics, or optical systems. Applicants should have extensive hands-on experience with experimental optics, free-space and/or fiber systems, and characterization of quantum communication systems. In-depth knowledge of QKD protocols, including BB84 encodings, entanglement-based QKD, and free-space optical communication, is expected. Programming and instrument-control skills such as Python, MATLAB, or LabVIEW are required for experiment automation, data acquisition, and analysis. Candidates should also demonstrate ability to lead experimental campaigns, mentor junior researchers, contribute to deliverables and proposals, and communicate fluently in English.

How to apply

Apply online through the HR system using the provided application portal. Submit a CV, cover letter, and two reference contacts. Applications by email will not be considered, and early application is encouraged because applications are processed upon receipt.
