The Institute for Quantum Optics and Quantum Information Innsbruck (IQOQI-IBK) of the Austrian Academy of Sciences (OeAW), Austria's leading non-university research and science institution, dedicates its work to theoretical and experimental basic research in the areas of quantum science. IQOQI is pleased to invite applications for the
Postdoctoral Fellow (f/m/x)
IQOQI Prize Postdoctoral Fellowship in Quantum Science 2027
The mission of the IQOQI Prize Postdoctoral Fellowship is to identify, recruit and support the most talented and promising young quantum physicists at an early stage of their careers.
The Fellowship is awarded for two years - with an optional third year - to an outstanding experimental or theoretical physicist. It offers the freedom of collaborating with all research groups at the institute, and/or of having a leading role in an experiment to pursue a project line not necessarily coinciding with the mainstream research of the group. Choosing a hosting research group is not a requirement, but optional. We value this independence, and support and foster it. The IQOQI Prize postdoctoral researchers are communicated accordingly, including their visibility on our website.
Recipients are selected by a committee of the IQOQI scientific directorate. Applications are open on a yearly basis.
