POSITIONS
Open positions within ML4Q are listed here (this page is updated regularly). Since most research group within ML4Q hire PhDs and post-docs individually, it might be advisable for potential candidates to contact suitable ML4Q members directly. Please note that there are no cluster-wide application deadlines for positions within ML4Q.

Several job openings at the collaborative research center “Control and dynamics of quantum materials” (CRC1238) Cologne

 

They are one of the largest and oldest universities in Europe and one of the most important employers in our region. Their broad range of subjects, the dynamic development of their main research areas and our central location in Cologne make them attractive for students and researchers from around the world. They offer a wide range of career opportunities in science, technology, and administration.

The collaborative research center “Control and dynamics of quantum materials” (CRC1238) brings together a team of scientists from experimental and theoretical physics. Their vision is to discover, understand, and control novel collective phenomena and new functionalities in quantum materials arising from the interplay of spin-orbit-coupling, correlations, and topology. More information can be found here.
