Position

The School of Basic Sciences (Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics) at EPFL seeks to appoint

two tenure track Assistant Professors in experimental and theoretical Quantum Science and Technology (QST).

The appointments are offered at the Tenure Track level, but in exceptional cases, appointments at other ranks might be considered.

Description

Areas of interest in experimental QST include superconducting quantum circuits, solid-state qubits in semiconductors, defects centers, or other solid-state quantum systems for sensing, communication, or computation. Photonic quantum technologies are also considered.

Areas of interest in theoretical QST include tensor networks, quantum field theory, and other advanced theoretical and computational approaches to quantum matter, artificial quantum structures, open quantum systems, quantum information processing or quantum simulation.

We expect candidates to establish a leadership in one of these areas and strengthen the EPFL endeavor in Quantum Science and Technology. Priority will be given to the overall originality and promise of the candidate’s work over any particular specialization area.

Requirements

Candidates should hold a PhD and have an excellent record of scientific accomplishments in quantum science. In addition, commitment to teaching general courses at the undergraduate level and specialized courses at the Master and doctoral levels is expected . Proficiency in French teaching is not required, but willingness to learn the language is expected.

We offer

EPFL, with its main campus located in Lausanne, Switzerland, on the shores of lake Geneva, is a dynamically growing and well-funded institution fostering excellence and diversity. It has a highly international campus with first-class infrastructure, including facilities for high performance computing.
