Therefore, we are looking for enthusiastic and talented students who want to join an international team of researchers and deeply delve into quantum physics and have the fantastic opportunity to gain invaluable skills in electronics, photonics, programming, data analysis, and many more.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS?
The successful candidate will be hosted and supervised in one of the theoretical or experimental research groups at the Universität Innsbruck the University of Naples, Federico II or the Palacký University Olomouc
In case of acceptance, a stay of a 3-4 weeks timeframe in summer 2024 in one of the research groups will be granted, of which the travel expenses and accommodation will be fully covered following the host institutions internal rules (further information will be available upon acceptance).
WHAT ARE THE REQUIREMENTS?
Highly motivated and curious students with a passion for quantum science and technology who are currently enrolled in a Master or PhD program in physics or engineering at Universität Innsbruck, University of Naples Federico II, or Palacký University Olomouc are welcome to apply. Please be aware that having passed an exam or currently attending a course in quantum mechanics (or equivalent) is mandatory.
HOW TO APPLY?
Application deadline is Wednesday 10th of April. Intersted students should submit their application filling out the form at the end of the page. Additionally they have to send: 1. Letter of motivation (explicitling explaining the added value of partecipating in an Aurora early stage research fellowship) , 2. CV and 3. transcript of exams.
