The successful candidate will be offered an employment contract (umowa o pracę) at the University of Warsaw, on a non-academic-teacher research position. Concurrent enrolment in a UW doctoral school is required. The MAB QLAB Centre is being established at the University of Warsaw as a joint undertaking with Sorbonne Université. The Centre develops scalable hybrid quantum-classical technologies in four pillars: (i) quantum-secure communication, (ii) quantum infrastructure and photonic information processing, (iii) quantum imaging and metrology, and (iv) quantum computation and artificial intelligence. Group 1 – Quantum-secure communication – works on security proofs for quantum communication protocols, hybrid solutions combining quantum and post-quantum cryptography, and research on quantum networks and their integration with critical infrastructure. Skills/Qualifications: Master's degree (or equivalent, e.g. Inżynier mgr) in physics, computer science, mathematics, electronic engineering or a related discipline; candidates in the final year of MSc may apply provided the diploma is obtained before signing the employment contract. Strong academic record (transcript of records, MSc thesis topic relevant to QLAB Group 1). Background in at least one of: quantum information theory, quantum cryptography, quantum communication, post-quantum cryptography, photonic quantum technologies. Fluency in spoken and written English (level B2 or higher). Programming skills (Python / MATLAB / Mathematica or equivalent) and ability to work with research-grade scientific software (LaTeX, version control). Willingness and eligibility to enrol in the UW Doctoral School of Exact and Natural Sciences (no prior doctoral degree). During the employment period the employee shall not be employed under another full-time employment contract from any other entity.
