About this position
Two half-time PhD researcher positions are available at the Center for Theoretical Physics PAS in Warsaw within the EUCENTRAL project on quantum technologies modelling. The researchers will join the Modelling Center for Quantum Technologies group led by Dr. Federico Balducci and collaborate closely with the group of Prof. Marzena Szymańska at University College London.
The project is focused on numerical methods for quantum open many-body systems, with specific interest in methods such as the quantum trajectory method for multimode ultracold gases with particle losses. A key part of the work is to further develop methods that are already being created at CTP PAS and make them more broadly usable by integrating them with other repositories.
The positions are based in a research institute with a strong theoretical physics environment, active international collaborations, and a broad research profile spanning quantum information, space and gravity, semiconductors, and atomic gases. The advertised roles sit within this wider setting and are intended for candidates who want to contribute to computational and theoretical research at the interface of quantum many-body physics and open quantum systems.
The institute emphasizes a scientifically stimulating, collaborative, and inclusive environment, with close interaction across teams and support for flexible working where possible.

What's required
Master’s degree in Physics or a related field, or documentation confirming the current stage of the degree-awarding process provided the degree is obtained before the start of employment. Strong background in quantum statistical mechanics and quantum many-body theory, including soluble models, is required. Candidates should have programming skills and experience with numerical computations, excellent written and oral communication skills, and the ability to work independently and in a team. Desirable experience includes open quantum systems, master equations and/or quantum stochastic calculus such as truncated Wigner and positive P, familiarity with numerical tools for many-body quantum systems such as exact diagonalization and tensor networks, and experience with version control and collaborative coding such as GitHub. English level must be excellent. The advert lists 1–4 years of research experience as relevant.
How to apply
Send your application by email to [email protected] with reference MSz/32/2026 in the subject line. Include the scientific CV, cover letter, degree diploma or current-stage certificate, optional supporting documents, at least one recommendation letter, and the signed personal data protection statement.
