Post Doc in quantum optics and quantum information

A 2-year post doc position is available in the theoretical quantum optics group at the Niels Bohr Institute, University of Copenhagen. The position will be part of the quantum internet alliance, which is a European project aiming at building large-scale quantum networks. The post doc will participate in designing and modelling the prototype quantum internet that is scheduled to be built at the end of the project. Additionally, the post doc may work on general theory of quantum repeaters and quantum networks as well as ongoing research on generating narrow band single photons in collaboration with the experimental activities at the Niels Bohr Institute.

The postdoc's duties will include research within theoretical quantum options and quantum information. The post may also include performance of other duties.

The position is open from 1 February 2027 or as soon as possible thereafter.

The Universitywishesour staff toreflect the diversity ofsociety and thus welcomes applications from all qualified candidates regardless of personal background.
