- Ph.D. Position in Quantum Nanophotonics
The positions are in the brand-new Quantum Photonics Laboratory (QPL). Today’s demand for computing and connectivity is on a steep trajectory, there is no reliable path to sustainable growth in our capabilities to compute and connect. A key issue is the excessive energy loss caused by communication.
Members of the Quantum Technology division in the Department of Microtechnology and Nanoscience (MC2) work with the experimentalists in the Photonics division and the theorists in the Applied Quantum Physics division. The department hosts the state-of-the-art MC2 Nanofabrication Laboratory cleanroom, the largest such facility in Northern Europe with cutting-edge cryogenic, microwave, and optical measurement capabilities.
This project is part of the Wallenberg Centre for Quantum Technology (WACQT), a 12-year, billion-SEK initiative to advance Swedish academia and industry to the forefront of quantum technology, and build a Swedish quantum computer.
ELIGIBILITY
- Motivated candidates who love to learn from any field. Experience with either quantum engineering, photonics, nanofabrication, nanomechanics, cryogenics, or superconductivity is a plus.
- Master’s degree in Physics, Chemistry, Photonics, Nanotechnology, Applied Physics, Electrical Engineering, or equivalent by the starting date at the latest. Candidates holding a Bachelor’s degree may qualify in certain cases.
- You need to be fluent in spoken and written English.
VALUE
Full-time temporary employment. The position is for at least 4 years with opportunities to extend it to 5 years. Your starting date is negotiable. We offer a competitive salary and excellent working conditions.

- Ph.D. Position in Innovation Ecosystems within Infrastructure Construction
The project will investigate inter-organizational collaborations in innovation processes for digital solutions and services in infrastructure construction. Infrastructure construction is a crucial industry sector to address as it consumes great quantities of materials and energy during construction, operations, and eventual deconstruction. Digital solutions and services play an important role in the request for more innovative solutions to enable the renewal of this sector towards improved sustainability.
Ecosystems as networks of public and private actors, for instance, developers and suppliers of various services, products, and digital technology, are crucial for innovation. The project covers how business models, governance, and incentives for different actors affect the organization, prerequisites for, and outcomes of innovation. How an innovation created in a single project can be utilized on a larger scale, including potential business values, is one important issue.
ELIGIBILITY
To qualify as a Ph.D. student you should have a
- Master’s degree in e.g. Industrial Management and Engineering, Construction Management, Business Administration, Architecture, or equivalent.
- You must have obtained a master’s degree (or equivalent) or expect to complete such a degree by the time of employment
