Autumn 2023 PhD Program
Call for applications – PhD grants in quantum sciences and technologies in Grenoble
We are opening in Grenoble a common PhD call in quantum sciences and technologies supported by the QuanG Marie-Sklodowska-Curie Action COFUND program of the European Union and the QuanTEdu-France PhD program, operated by the QuantAlps federation.
Applications from female candidates are strongly encouraged. Candidates are encouraged to apply to both the QuanG and QuanTEdu-France programs if they fulfill the corresponding eligibility criteria.
QuanG – We are seeking talented and motivated applicants in the domains of physics, computer science, engineering, mathematics, chemistry and humanities, for a PhD thesis in quantum sciences and/or technologies. The thesis project has to plan a secondment in a company (2 months) or in an international academic laboratory (4 months). Applicants have to satisfy the EU MSCA mobility criteria (they must not have spent more than 12 months in France during the last three years (i.e., between October 7th 2020 and October 6th, 2023), not including holidays.
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.
