Your personal sphere of influence:
As university assistant (PraeDoc) on this 4-year position, you will be part of the research group “Quantum Information Science and Quantum Computation”, led by Univ.- Prof. Dr. Philip Walther.
The group is part of the Quantum Optics, Quantum Nanophysics & Quantum Information group at the Faculty of Physics, and a member of the Vienna Center for Quantum Science and Technology (VCQ) – one of the largest quantum hubs in Europe – and the Austrian Cluster of Excellence quantA.
The group’s research combines the development of scalable photonic quantum technology for quantum computing and other quantum information applications with the investigation of fundamental quantum science questions. The main activities reach from quantum control of single photons using solid-state photon sources, integrated waveguide technology, tailored nonlinear media and detectors based on superconductor technology to interferometric precision measurements of weak gravitational forces.
You will also benefit from being a fellow of the Vienna Doctoral School in Physics (VDSP), being part of a thriving community with more than 100 quantum scientists on the premises, about 300 quantum researchers in Vienna.
The Walther Group unites an international team of scientists who are passionate about research in quantum optics, quantum information and quantum technologies. Our 35 researchers, from undergraduate student, PhD candidate to Postdoc are working together on mostly experimental topics in small subgroups. Teamwork is a key factor to our group’s success. Together we have assembled a unique skill set and knowledge base in quantum information, quantum computation, quantum communication, quantum foundations as well as quantum-gravity interface.

Your personal sphere of influence:
- Your research will be focused on the nanospectroscopic analysis of 1D and 2D materials made from carbon or transition metal dichalcogenides.
- You will conduct independent experimental research related to synthesis and spectroscopy, with the freedom to apply your creativity and previous knowledge.
- You will present your research plan to the faculty and complete a dissertation agreement within 12-18 months. This will be reviewed and adapted on an annual basis.
- You will work on your dissertation and towards its completion in time, supported by dedicated mentorship. We expect a large degree of independence paired with a high level of team spirit.
- You will continuously stay informed about the state of the art in your field.
- You will contribute to teaching (lab courses, exercise classes), both in teams and independently, within the provisions of the collective bargaining agreement.
- You will engage with the broader scientific community as well as contribute to outreach through publications, conference presentations, collaborative events and public activities.
- You will help the group with minor administrative tasks, contributing to the success of the group for research, teaching and outreach.
