Call for applications – PhD grants in quantum sciences and technologies in Grenoble

We are launching a common PhD call in Grenoble in quantum sciences and technologies, supported by the QuanTEdu-France PhD program and the Labex QuantAlps.

Candidates are encouraged to apply to both programs if they fulfill the corresponding eligibility criteria. We strive for gender diversity and equality in the profiles of the selected candidates, and we are particularly committed to support women in quantum sciences and technologies.

QuanTEdu-France

We are seeking talented and motivated applicants in the domains of physics, computer science, electrical engineering and mathematics, for a PhD thesis in quantum technologies. Thesis topics have to cover quantum computing, quantum simulation, quantum communication, quantum sensors or quantum metrology.

QuantAlps LabEx

We are seeking talented and motivated applicants in the domain of physics, computer science, electrical engineering, mathematics, and humanities, for a PhD thesis in quantum sciences. The PhD thesis project must fulfil at least one of the LabEx synergy criteria : i) co-supervision by researchers belonging to two different teams of the QuantAlps laboratories; ii) interdisciplinary or inter-LabEx project; iii) collaboration with R&D laboratories or companies.
