Open positions

Do you want to be part of our exciting journey to observe the quantum behavior of macroscopic objects or to develop novel quantum sensing technologies? We are happy to talk with you! Simply get in touch with us for more in-depth information and a lab tour.

We are always looking for motivated students for their Master thesis or as Amanuenses (student interns). We offer interesting projects, which are focused on experiments, simulation, fabrication, or a mix of these activities. In case you are interested, please contact Witlef for opportunities. You find our Master thesis projects for 2025/2026 here.

PostDoctoral candidates, who are interested to join our group, please contact Witlef for further information. PostDoctoral candidates from Germany can apply for a Feodor Lynen fellowship from the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation with Witlef as host.
