Open Positions

We encourage ‘international students’ to apply. For information about VISAs, student registration, life in Austria in general, etc. we refer to our international office at JKU: https://www.jku.at/en/international-office/

Team Philosophy

Our team approaches quantum computing from the interface between computer science (CS), (quantum) physics, (applied) math and artificial intelligence (AI). To properly reflect this interdisciplinary research agenda, we welcome committed people from varying scientific backgrounds (e.g. CS, physics, math, EE and AI). We strongly believe that diversity breeds creativity and encourage a wide range of candidates to apply.

How To Apply (PhD):

Currently, there are no dedicated project openings, but exceptional candidates may always be considered. To apply, please send an e-mail to Richard Kueng (richard.kueng@jku.at, subject: “PhD Application”) and attach the following documents (as PDF):

1. a letter of motivation that tells us why you are interested in joining our group;
2. a comprehensive CV
3. transcript of records

Starting dates are flexible and can be discussed. PhD appointments will be for a period of up to 4 years with a monthly salary of about 3.500€ before taxes (you can use this converter to approximately deduct taxes) received 14 times a year. Health-care is also covered by this appointment.

Successful candidates will be associated with the Department of Computer Science at Johannes Kepler University Linz and complete their doctoral studies with either a Dr. techn. (technical sciences) or a Dr. rer. nat. (natural sciences).

How To Apply (Postdoc):

We currently cannot offer dedicated projects for postdocs. While funding is limited, this also means that we are more flexible in the choice of topic and type of position we want to fill. We encourage aspiring postdocs to reach out to Richard Kueng (richard.kueng@jku.at, subject: “Postdoc Application”) if you are interested in joining our group.
