  Bookmark PhD position Theoretical Quantum Physics PhD candidate Physics or similar (f/m/x) Theoretical Quantum Physics Starting date 1 April 2021 Duration of contract 3 years Remuneration up to the German TVöD 13 Type of employment Part-time Your mission: The aim of the DLR Institute of Quantum Technologies in Ulm is to develop precision instruments for space applications based on quantum technologies and, in close cooperation with industry, mature them into prototypes. It thus provides a bridge between fundamental research and industry. Together with the DLR-Institute for Satellite Geodesy and Inertial Sensing in Hannover and the Galileo Competence Center in Oberpfaffenhofen, the institute in Ulm plays a pioneering role in these fields of research and application. The research of the four core departments Quantum Metrology, Quantum Information and Communication, Quantum Nanophysics, and Quantum Control of Charged Matter Waves is complemented by support from three cross-sectional departments of Quantum Engineering, Integration of Micro- and Nanosystems, and Theoretical Quantum Physics. The institute works in an interdisciplinary way, where fundamental theoretical research and experimental tests meets engineering. We are looking for you for a position in the department of "Theoretical Quantum Physics". At our institute, you will investigate and model quantum systems and be part of our team that provides important, interdisciplinary cross-sectional services to the other departments of the institute. In particular, you will assist in their quantum physics experiments. As part of your scientific work, you will develop and implement quantum algorithms. You will investigate fundamental questions from the area of quantum machine learning, e.g. development of learning agents for navigation in a maze. Complete a PhD on this trend-setting topic. Be part of our team and build with us the foundations of future quantum technologies.   Your research will include the following tasks: perform scientific work in the area of quantum physics and quantum information develop, test and run quantum algorithms for machine learning transfer theoretical concepts into experiments present the obtained results in scientific journals as well as national and international conferences Your qualifications: University degree (master or comparable) in physics, mathematics or computer science excellent knowledge in theoretical physics and especially theoretical quantum physics knowledge in quantum information preferable programming skills (C, Python, …) are also preferable fluent in written and oral English ability to work within a team of scientists and technicians passion for research and science Your benefits: Look forward to a fulfilling job with an employer who appreciates your commitment and supports your personal and professional development. Our unique infrastructure offers you a working environment in which you have unparalleled scope to develop your creative ideas and accomplish your professional objectives. Our human resources policy places great value on a healthy family and work-life-balance as well as equal opportunities for persons of all genders (f/m/x). Individuals with disabilities will be given preferential consideration in the event their qualifications are equivalent to those of other candidates.
