Application Deadline: 31 Dec 2025 - 00:00 (Europe/Paris)

Type of Contract: Temporary

Job Status: Full-time

Hours Per Week: 37

Offer Starting Date: 1 Oct 2025

Is the job funded through the EU Research Framework Programme? Not funded by a EU programme

Is the Job related to staff position within a Research Infrastructure? No

Offer Description

What do we offer? The position has a fixed term of three years and will start around October 2025. It leads to a PhD with a final defense. The net salary (after taxes) will be around 2100€ depending on housing help eligibility and possible, but not mandatory, teaching duties. You will benefit from a series of multidisciplinary courses taught at the UFC doctoral school. An annual budget for attending conferences and workshops is also planned.

For candidates who could join us a few months earlier this Spring 2025, a Master internship (pre-PhD internship) is also available which can begin as soon as possible. The Master internship can be of two to six month duration with a gratification of about 640€ per month (no tax, with possible housing at the Besançon Observatory). By mutual agreement, the candidate will then pursue with the funded PhD position.

Two axes of research are developed in the Theoretical Physics group: “Complex Networks, Chaos and non-linearity” and “Open Quantum Systems and Quantum Information”. The group belongs to UTINAM, a multidisciplinary laboratory of the University of Franche-Comté and CNRS, gathering theoretical physicists, molecular physicists, chemists, and astrophysicists. We are located at the Besançon Observatory (https://theta.obs-besancon.fr) in the University of Franche-Comté. Besançon is a beautiful French city surrounded by nature (https://www.besancon-tourisme.com/en/) close to the Jura Mountains and the Switzerland border. The city is two hours from Paris by train.

Minimum Requirements

• a Master degree (or equivalent) in Physics or related fields,
• good knowledge in quantum physics,
• prior experience in numerical methods programming.

Your Responsibilities

• perform theoretical research on quantum physics devoted to applications in quantum technology,
• disseminate research results in international workshops and conferences and participate in writing drafts for submission in peer-reviewed journals,
• participate in the scientific events organized by the QuanTEdu-France consortium,
• possibly teach at the department of physics (non-mandatory).

Application Process

The application will consist of only one PDF document containing:

• certified grades for the three last academic years,
• names and email addresses of two references.
