Open positions

Information for all applicants

The following information applies to all applicants. Please be aware that we receive a high number of applications and will only consider applicants that follow these guidelines.

  • Send your application only to applications(at)qcs.cit.tum.de. Applications sent to Prof. Dr. Vogl directly will not be considered.
  • Due to the high number of applications we receive, we are not able to respond in case of an unsuccessful application. Your application will be saved for one year and afterwards automatically deleted. You can request deletion of your data at any time in accordance with the data protection policy (see below). If a suitable position becomes available within the one-year period, we will contact you. Please refrain from following up on your application.
  • The documents that you always need to include are the current transcript of records and your CV.
  • We cannot offer any positions for internships, Bachelor or Master theses, or similar to students enrolled in external study programs outside the EU.

PhD students and postdocs

We are always looking for excellent students and postdocs to join our group and work with us in the field of quantum optics, nanotechnology, quantum information, and electrical engineering.

At the moment we do not have any specific opening but this can typically change fast. You can still apply via applications(at)qcs.cit.tum.de with your CV and transcript of records and we will contact you, if a position becomes available.

Theses and student projects

We always have interesting student projects available for Bachelor and Master theses, as well as projects for the Ingenieurpraxis (IP) and Forschungspraxis modules in the field of quantum optics, nanotechnology, quantum information, and electrical engineering.

  • Bachelor thesis available (published 18.12.2024): This bachelor thesis will focus on testing and integrating polarization-maintaining devices into the QuaNTUM quantum communication testbed. The student will focus on a small part of the network, such as one or two fiber links, and analyze the performance of polarization controllers and compensation systems. Key tasks will include measuring polarization-dependent loss (PDL), evaluating the effectiveness of active polarization control in maintaining qubit integrity, and ensuring proper integration of these devices into the existing fiber network. The goal is to optimize qubit transmission quality over fiber links for quantum key distribution (QKD) experiments. This project involves hands-on testing, calibration, and some basic data analysis.

Please contact us directly via applications(at)qcs.cit.tum.de to learn more or just visit our group. Students from TUM should apply using their TUM email address with a current transcript of records and CV and we will contact you, if a position becomes available.

Student assistant positions

We currently have no openings for student assistants.
