Postdoctoral Position in Theoretical Physics

**Job Description**
Applications are invited for a postdoctoral position in theoretical physics, focusing on cavity-coupled quantum dots. This interdisciplinary research spans quantum transport, quantum optics, and quantum thermodynamics, highly relevant for emerging quantum technologies. The successful candidate will collaborate with theoretical and experimental physicists at Chalmers and international partners within the FLAG-ERA project ThinQ. The position, starting in the first half of 2026, is based in the theory division of the Department of Microtechnology and Nanoscience (MC2), specifically within the Dynamics and Thermodynamics of Nanoscale Devices group led by Janine Splettstoesser. The project involves terahertz quantum sensing with bilayer graphene quantum dots in resonators and offers opportunities to investigate thermodynamic properties of cavity-coupled quantum-dot systems, in collaboration with the ERC-funded NanoRecycle project.

**Skills & Abilities**
• Strong interest in the theoretical analysis of nanoscale and quantum devices, at the interface of quantum transport, quantum optics, and thermodynamics
• Strong written and verbal communication skills in English
• Self-propelled with a strong driving force to pursue excellent theoretical research in a collaborative environment
• Initiative and the ability to contribute with original research ideas within the project
• Accustomed to teaching and potential in research and education

**Qualifications**
Required Degree(s) in:
• Theoretical Physics or similar field (doctoral degree awarded no more than three years prior to the application deadline)

**Experience**
Other:
• Experience in theory of quantum transport or quantum optics (required)
• Experience in both quantum transport and quantum optics (strengthens application)
