“Matter and Light for Quantum Computing (ML4Q) is a Cluster of Excellence established in 2019 within the Excellence Strategy of the German federal and state governments. In ML4Q, scientists from the universities of Cologne, Aachen and Bonn as well as Forschungszentrum Jülich come together to develop new quantum computing and quantum network architectures. But cutting-edge science is not our only objective. In ML4Q, we cultivate an exceptional working environment for early-career researchers in the quantum science and technology domain. We offer ample space for the development of their own research ideas, comprehensive training opportunities, and actively foster a collaborative and respectful environment where individuals from varied backgrounds and experiences feel they belong and can thrive. Moreover, we provide explicit opportunities that advance Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion, ensuring that all voices are heard, valued, and empowered to contribute meaningfully.
As part of the ML4Q Fellowship programme, we invite applications from outstanding postdoctoral researchers who are eager to contribute to the cluster’s scientific objectives and advance their academic careers.
Successful candidates will receive funding to support their position for two years, covering expenses such as consumables, travel costs, and providing workspace within one of the ML4Q groups situated in Aachen, Bonn, Cologne, Düsseldorf, or Jülich. In addition, fellows will benefit from a range of training programs and access to a mentoring network.
Detailed information regarding eligibility criteria and the application procedure can be found on our website and in the attached flyer. The application deadline is March 31, 2025.
Take the leap into the quantum future with ML4Q – where ground-breaking research meets your potential! We look forward to your application!
