We welcome applications for a doctoral position in the Institute for Theoretical Physics at the ‘Johannes Gutenberg’ University (JGU) of Mainz to work under the joint supervision of Prof. J. Marino (https://sites.google.com/view/nequantumuniv) and Prof. F. Schmidt-Kaler (https://www.quantenbit.physik.uni-mainz.de)

The appointed candidate will be a highly-motivated, qualified, and independent researcher, keen to join our research teams. Starting date is flexible.

Research in many body quantum info at JGU focuses on models of hybrid quantum circuits and applications to trapped ions quantum computers, with an interdisciplinary approach encompassing statistical mechanics and condensed matter physics. For the advertised position we envisage collaborations with the team of Prof. K. Schmidt at the University of Erlangen (https://theorie1.physik.uni-erlangen.de/people/kaschm/) in the hub of two research consortia (‘QuCoLiMa’ and ‘TopDyn’) linking Mainz and Erlangen to several other research institutions in Germany.

Our research activity is in synergy with several international teams located in Europe and in the USA, and it is linked to several research alliances pivoting around JGU, including the interdisciplinary centre for spin physics, SPICE.

Review of the applications will start immediately. Job interviews will be held approximatively every 3 weeks until the position is filled. In case no suitable candidate is selected in the time frame of the next 2-3 months, the position will be advertised again till this vacancy is filled.
