A PhD call in quantum sciences and technologies supported by the QuanG Marie-Sklodowska-Curie Action COFUND programme of the European Union, the QuanTEdu-France PhD programme and the Labex QuantAlps, is opening in Grenoble.
QuanG – We are seeking talented and motivated applicants in the domains of physics, computer science, electrical engineering, mathematics, chemistry and humanities, for a PhD thesis in quantum sciences and/or technologies (see the Guide of Applicant for details). The thesis project has to plan a secondment in a company (2 months) or in an international academic laboratory (4 months). Applicants have to satisfy the EU MSCA mobility criteria i.e. they must have not spent more than 12 months in France during the last three years (i.e., between 16 March 2021 and 15 March 2024 (not including holidays).
QuanTEdu-France – We are seeking talented and motivated applicants in the domains of physics, computer science, electrical engineering and mathematics, for a PhD thesis in quantum technologies. Thesis topics have to cover quantum computing, quantum simulation, quantum communication, quantum sensors or quantum metrology.
QuantAlps-Labex – We are seeking talented and motivated applicants in the domains of physics, computer science, electrical engineering, mathematics, and humanities, for a PhD thesis in quantum sciences. The PhD thesis project must fulfil at least one of the Labex synergy criteria: i) co-supervision by researchers belonging to two different teams of the QuantAlps laboratories; ii) interdisciplinary or inter-Labex project; iii) collaboration with R&D laboratories or companies.
