PhD Fellowship

We’re seeking a highly motivated physics student for a fully funded PhD position (Spanish FPI fellowship) at the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid (UAM), associated with the QUALIMAX national project led by Prof. Francisco J. García Vidal and Johannes Feist. You’ll join our world-leading theoretical physics group at the IFIMAC center of excellence to explore quantum light-matter interactions at their most extreme limits.

This is a cutting-edge theoretical and computational project that tackles both fundamental physics and the design of future quantum technologies. Your research will explore new paradigms of quantum optics within nanophotonic systems that are inherently open and lossy, leading to complex, interacting quantum modes.

You’ll develop theories to understand and exploit such systems, applying your findings to design novel devices like nanoscale single-photon sources and ultra-compact and ultrafast quantum transducers.

If you’re ready to master advanced quantum theory and help shape the next generation of quantum devices, we encourage you to apply.

Send your CV, motivation letter, undergraduate & master transcripts and contact details for two references to johannes.feist.
