We are now looking for
Doctoral Researchers
Finnish Quantum Science and Technology doctoral education pilot QDOC (instituteq.fi/qdoc ) offers 90 Doctoral Researcher positions at 7 universities in Finland. Of these, 40 positions are hosted at Aalto University. QDOC provides a unique opportunity to gain education in quantum science and technology (QST) and benefit from a multidisciplinary network of experts working in academia and industry around Finland. Versatile opportunities are open in theoretical, experimental, and applied physics, chemistry, photonics, computational science, materials science and technology, nanotechnology, electrical engineering and electronics, and economics. Part of the doctoral projects are implemented with our industrial partners, offering an excellent opportunity to build a seamless career path from academia to industry. Industry collaboration and networking is leveraged throughout the doctoral studies, to maximize the career prospects of the students. All QDOC students will participate in common networking events and annual summer/winter schools.
The research in quantum science and technology at Aalto University is strong in several selected areas. These include superconducting technologies, quantum materials, integrated quantum photonics, quantum sensing and applications, quantum computers, algorithms and software, quantum information processing, quantum communications engineering, quantum foundations, and market emergence of deep technologies.
Global QST research and industry have grown significantly in the last decade. Aalto University is at the international front line in its QST specialty areas, and QDOC network extends opportunities to collaborate and take studies from the partner universities, bringing a unique selection of opportunities available for all QDOC doctoral researchers. Our academic community is completed with VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland, CSC IT center for science, and 50+ collaborating companies, providing a comprehensive QST ecosystem for doctoral training in Finland. QDOC is part of the national education development actions of InstituteQ (instituteq.fi ), implemented in line with the new Finnish Quantum flagship FQF (instituteq.fi/finnish-quantum-flagship ).
Our scientific environment is supported by state-of-the-art research facilities. At Aalto, our key assets are the national large scale research infrastructure OtaNano that provides advanced nanofabrication, nanomicroscopy, and ultra-low temperature measurement facilities to develop novel materials and structures for QST, and Finnish Quantum Computing Infrastructure (FiQCI ) that is under vigorous development for provision of computing time and training to educate new experts in this emerging area of interest.
Aalto University collaborates closely with other universities in the Nordic region, and the university has an extended network of partner organizations in Europe and overseas. Frequent exchange of staff and students between these environments forms a cornerstone of quantum science technology research and education.
Your role
You will work as a member of a research team at Aalto University, and co-instructed by a collaborator in academia or industry, depending on the selected project. You are expected to pursue your doctoral studies and a research project according to a jointly agreed plan. Project specific research tasks are described with individual QDOC projects.
Your experience and ambitions
We are looking for master’s graduates with project relevant experience and the ability to work as part of a research team in English. You have an MSc degree in the field of physics, mathematics, computational science, nanoscience, nanotechnology, electrical engineering, economics, or a closely related field. You also have a keen interest to work in a multidisciplinary environment and pursue theoretical and/or experimental research.
