Quantum PhDs and Postdocs

The quantum research groups at the University of Copenhagen are continuously looking for PhD students and postdocs.

PhD Program

The standard PhD program in Copenhagen is a 3-year program, with entering PhD students expected to hold the equivalent of a Danish master's degree. 

Students who have not completed the equivalent of a Danish master's degree might be given the option of enrolling in a concurrent master and PhD program with a total duration of up to 4-5 years (depending on prior course credits).

Postdoc Positions

At the University of Copenhagen, the research groups/departments regularly post calls for postdoc positions. The postdoc positions usually have a duration of 1 to 3 years.

Specific PhD and Postdoc Opportunities in Quantum Information Science

Many of the research groups are part of quantum-related centers and are part of the departments of the Faculty of Sciences at the University of Copenhagen. For more information about the departments and the centres see below:

 

The Niels Bohr Institute (NBI) host a variety of quantum-related research at the University of Copenhagen.

The Department of Mathematical Sciences (MATH) host a variety of quantum-related research at the University of Copenhagen. Within the department you find the Centre for the Mathematics of Quantum Theory (QMATH) which host projects on all aspects of theoretical quantum information and mathematical physics. The department is furthermore the main host for the Quantum for Life center, which investigates applications of quantum computing to the life sciences.
