VCQ PHD PROGRAM

Our PhD program invites you to become part of an active community of young scientists with opportunities to do experimental and/or theoretical research at the forefront of modern quantum science and technology based on a broad and multidisciplinary research agenda.

The topics range from the foundations of quantum mechanics to complex quantum optical and many-body effects and their application for emerging quantum technologies.

You will participate in networking events, international conferences, transferable skills and career development training as well as social activities.

We offer fully funded positions based at the University of Vienna, TU Wien, the Austrian Academy of Sciences, and IST Austria.

The city of Vienna provides also a very high quality of life, unique possibilities to explore yourself and to start an outstanding scientific career.

At VCQ we prioritize community and networking through a wide range of joint activities, that are co-organized by the students themselves.
We highly encourage networking and scientific exchange.

Applications for a PhD position within VCQ are possible during our open PhD calls twice a year. Please check the application website.
