Two Postdoc positions to work on Open Quantum-Classical Dynamics
Feb. 25, 2026 - March 29, 2026 , University of St. Andrews and University of Exeter

The successful applicants will work on developing techniques for modelling open quantum systems that are strongly interacting with their environment. The focus will be on making calculations more efficient by introducing an element of classicality into quantum models, or vice versa, upgrade classical models with a minimal quantum top-up. Position references: St. Andrews (AR3241) Exeter (Q13294) Applications to both positions are very much encouraged. Deadline: 27 March 2026.

Postdoc position
Jan. 21, 2026 - Feb. 21, 2026 , Singapore University of Technology and Design & Centre for Quantum Technologies

The group of Dario Poletti has an opening for Research Fellow for 2 years (with potential for extension). The main research direction is many-body quantum systems out of equilibrium, with applications in quantum thermodynamics. Particular emphasis will be given to numerical simulations, e.g. tensor networks and/or neural quantum states, and potential collaboration with experimental groups. Send CV and research statement to dario_poletti@sutd.edu.sg

PhD position, Quantum Information Group at CTP PAS (Warsaw), Supervisor: P. Lipka-Bartosik
Dec. 15, 2025 - Jan. 6, 2026 , Center for Theoretical Physics, Warsaw

PhD position in a research project "Thermodynamics of Information Processing: From Theory to Applications". We are looking for a PhD candidate to join an interdisciplinary research programme bridging information theory, stochastic thermodynamics, and quantum physics. Potential research topics include thermodynamic computing, quantum effects in information processing, and the optimisation of thermodynamic protocols. For more details please write to: lbartosik@cft.edu.pl.

Master internship, Many-Body system thermodynamics, Supervisor: Cyril Elouard
Sept. 22, 2025 - Nov. 1, 2025 , Université de Lorraine, Nancy, France

Recent progress in quantum thermodynamics allows to analyze work and heat exchanges between quantum systems. However, applying those definitions require to keep track of the full state of the systems, which is intractable for large quantum systems. The intern will join the effort of the group to build a formalism for nonequilibrium quantum thermodynamics involving only a few macroscopic observables, relevant for numerical or experimental analysis of many-body systems.
