Lund University, Faculty of Science and Faculty of Engineering, are looking for an up-and-coming researcher who wants to conduct pioneering research to take up a position as Assistant professor in quantum technology
What we offer the successful candidate
Do you want to become a research leader of tomorrow through pioneering projects and research ideas? If so, you have the opportunity to start as an assistant professor (associate senior lecturer) as part of Lund University Programme for Global Excellence. We are now looking for a promising, academically young researcher who can build and lead research in quantum technology. Quantum technology is a rapidly growing field of research that exploits controlled quantum states of microscopic systems—for example, electrons, atoms, ions or photons—to achieve radical improvements in terms of capacity, sensitivity and speed in various technical applications in, for example, information processing, communication systems or medical imaging. Internationally, quantum technology is divided into three pillars - quantum computation and simulations, quantum communication and networks, and quantum sensors and measurements.
At Lund University, quantum technology research is conducted within all three pillars, but the main part of the research is in quantum sensors and measurements. Activities include ultrafast quantum physics, quantum technology with rare earth atoms, quantum states in nanosystems, quantum information theory, quantum spectroscopy, quantum algorithms for optimization, ultracold atomic gases, quantum materials for quantum technology, cryoelectronics for quantum computers and time-dependent quantum processes. The research is conducted at both the Faculty of Science and LTH, mainly at the Department of Physics but also at the Department of Chemistry, the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences and the Department of Electrical and Information Technology. Lund NanoLab and Lund Laser Center are central infrastructures for quantum technology research. Further information can be obtained via the Quantum in Lund website.
