Slovenian Quantum Science Hub

Project description

Recruiting researchers at the Slovenian Quantum Science Hub

The second quantum revolution is gearing up for groundbreaking advancements in the fields of quantum computing, communication, materials and advanced sensing technologies. Meeting these challenges requires a skilled and innovative new generation of quantum experts across research, technology and academia. With the support of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions programme, the SQUASH project intends to recruit 40 postdoctoral researchers at the Jožef Stefan Institute in Ljubljana, Slovenia. The researchers will acquire a versatile set of skills in the multidisciplinary fields of quantum theory, quantum materials, quantum technology and quantum computing and information. They will also have the opportunity to boost their career prospects though a wide range of international and intersectoral secondments, as well as training programmes.

Objective

Located in Ljubljana, Slovenia, the Jožef Stefan Institute is the national leader in quantum research. Supported by the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions programme, the SQUASH project – Slovenian Quantum Science Hub – will employ 40 foreign postdoctoral researchers. The fellowships are designed to advance their research skills in four multidisciplinary fields: quantum theory, quantum materials, quantum technology, and quantum computing & information. With a broad range of international and intersectoral secondments, as well as career-developing training programs, fellows will gain a blend of additional versatile skills, significantly boosting their career-growth opportunities. The project aims at developing skilled and innovative quantum workforce across research, technology, and academia to tackle the upcoming challenges of the second quantum revolution.
