Descrierea postului

PhD fellowship in Experimental Quantum Physics
PhD Project in Spin-Mechanics
Niels Bohr Institute
Faculty of Science
University of CopenhagenThe Niels Bohr Institute invites applicants for a PhD fellowship in Experimental Quantum Physics . The project is part of the research project “Hybrid Quantum Networks”, which is financed by the Danish National Research Foundation.Start date is (expected to be) 1 September 2025 or as soon as possible thereafter.The project
We seek a PhD student to support the exploration of strong magnetic coupling between a mechanical resonator and an individual electronic spin. The experimental platform, based on an ultracoherent phononic membrane resonator and an NV-center in diamond, serves as a testbed of protocols for spin-mechanical quantum sensing and transduction, and the preparation of highly non-classical mechanical quantum states.Who are we looking for?
We are looking for candidates within the field(s) of physics or related engineering disciplines.Applicants can have a background from experimental and theoretical quantum opto- or electromechanics, nanomechanics, NV magnetometry and imaging, and low-temperature techniques.We are looking for individuals enthusiastic to acquire, apply and advance their scientific skills within a dynamic international team.Our group and research- and what do we offer?
The Quantum Optomechanics group at the Niels Bohr Institute specializes in measurement, control and conversion of the motional quantum states. We have pioneered mechanical systems with exceptional coherence which allow reaching new regimes in this endeavor, in terms of sensitivity and efficiency.The group is a part of the Niels Bohr Institute, Faculty of Sciece, University of Copenhagen. We are located in Copenhagen.We offer creative and stimulating working conditions in dynamic and international research environment. Our research facilities include top-notch optics laboratories and access to a world-class cleanroom.Principal supervisor is Prof. Albert Schliesser (email: , phone: +4535325401)
If it is deemed appropriate from an overall perspective, you must be prepared to be security screened, in relation to international research and innovation collaboration, as part of the employment process at the University of Copenhagen.Notice: In the following description of the PhD programmes, some references are made to SCIENCE websitesThe PhD programme
Depending of your level of education, you can undertake the PhD programme as either:Option A: A three year full-time study within the framework of (5+3 scheme), if you already have an education equivalent to a relevant Danish master’s degree.Option B: An up to five year full-time study programme within the framework of (the 3+5 scheme), if you do not have an education equivalent to a relevant Danish master´s degree – but you have an education equivalent to a Danish bachelors´s degree.Option A: Getting into a position on the regular PhD programmeQualifications needed for the regular programme
To be eligible for the regular PhD programme, you must have completed a degree programme, equivalent to a Danish master’s degree (180 ECTS/3 FTE BSc + 120 ECTS/2 FTE MSc) related to the subject area of the project, e.g. Physics For information of eligibility of completed programmes, see and .Terms of employment in the regular programme
Employment as PhD fellow is full time and for maximum 3 years.Employment is conditional upon your successful enrolment as a PhD student at the PhD School at the Faculty of Science, University of Copenhagen. This requires submission and acceptance of an application for the specific project formulated by the applicant.Terms of appointment and payment accord to the agreement between the Danish Ministry of Taxation and The Danish Confederation of Professional Associations on Academics in the State. The position is covered by the Protocol on Job Structure.Option B: Getting into a position on the integrated MSc and PhD programmeQualifications needed for the integrated MSc and PhD programme
If you do not have an education equivalent to a relevant Danish master´s degree, you might be qualified for the integrated MSc and PhD programme, if you have an education equivalent to a relevant Danish bachelor´s degree. Here you can find out, if that is relevant for you: and .Terms of the integrated programme
To be eligible for the integrated scholarship, you are (or are eligible to be) enrolled at one of the faculty’s master programmes in Physics.Students on the integrated programme will enroll as PhD students simultaneously with completing their enrollment in this MSc degree programme.The duration of the integrated programme is up to five years, and depends on the amount of credits that you have passed on your MSc programme. For further information about the study programme, please see: , “Study Structures”Until the MSc degree is obtained, (when exactly two years of the full 3+5 programme remains), the grant will be paid partly in the form of 48 state education grant portions (in Danish: “SU-klip”) plus salary for work (teaching, supervision etc.) totalling a workload of 150 working hours per year.
A PhD grant portion is currently (2025) DKK 7,086 before tax.When you have obtained the MSc degree, you will transfer to the salary-earning part of the scholarship for a period of two years. At that point, the terms of employment and payment will be according to the agreement between the Ministry of Finance and The Danish Confederation of Professional Associations on Academics in the State (AC). The position is covered by the Protocol on Job Structure.Responsibilities and tasks in both PhD programmes

• Complete and pass the MSc education in accordance with the curriculum of the MSc programme (ONLY when you are attending the integrated MSc and PhD programme)
• Carry through an independent research project under supervision
• Complete PhD courses corresponding to approx. 30 ECTS / ½ FTE
• Participate in active research environments, including a stay at another research institution, preferably abroad
• Teaching and knowledge dissemination activities
• Write scientific papers aimed at high-impact journals
• Write and defend a PhD thesis on the basis of your project

We are looking for the following qualifications:

• Professional qualifications relevant to the PhD project
• Relevant publications
• Relevant work experience
• Other relevant professional activities
• Curious mind-set with a strong interest in Quantum Physics
• Good language skills

Application and Assessment Procedure
Your application including all attachments must be in English and submitted electronically by clicking APPLY NOW below.Please include: * Motivated letter of application (max. one page)

• Curriculum vitae including information about your education, experience, language skills and other skills relevant for the position
• Original diplomas for Bachelor of Science or Master of Science and transcript of records in the original language, including an authorized English translation if issued in another language than English or Danish. If not completed, a certified/signed copy of a recent transcript of records or a written statement from the institution or supervisor is accepted.
• Publication list (if possible)
• Reference letters (if available)

Application deadline:The deadline for applications is 29 May.2025, 23:59 GMT +2.We reserve the right not to consider material received after the deadline, and not to consider applications that do not live up to the abovementioned requirements.The further process
After deadline, a number of applicants will be selected for academic assessment by an unbiased expert assessor. You are notified, whether you will be passed for assessment.The assessor will assess the qualifications and experience of the shortlisted applicants with respect to the above mentioned research area, techniques, skills and other requirements. The assessor will conclude whether each applicant is qualified and, if so, for which of the two models. The assessed applicants will have the opportunity to comment on their assessment.
