Imperial College London is recruiting 6 Early Stage Researchers (ESRs) to work in the Marie Curie Innovative Doctoral Programme (IDP) “Frontiers in Quantum Technology (FQT)”. The IDP will provide multidisciplinary training culminating in PhDs awarded by Imperial College London.

Applications are invited for a PhD position on the topic "Strong coupling effects in optomechanical systems" at the Vienna University of Technology in the Quantum Optics Theory group of Peter Rabl (http://ati.tuwien.ac.at/forschungsbereiche/nachwuchs_forschungsgruppe_th...). The candidate will perform research on nonlinear quantum effects in strongly coupled optomechanical systems and investigate potential applications for quantum information processing.

The International Max Planck Research School for Quantum Dynamics in Physics, Chemistry and Biology (IMPRS-QD) is a graduate school offering a doctoral degree program in these disciplines.

The IMPRS-QD is a joint initiative of the Max Planck Institute for Nuclear Physics (MPIK), the Heidelberg University, the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ), the Max Planck Institute for Medical Research (all in Heidelberg) and the Heavy Ion Research Center (GSI) in Darmstadt.
