Join us in Copenhagen

Founding members wanted

We are building a new research group and looking for curious experimentalists who want to explore fundamental questions at the boundaries of optics, materials, and quantum science. The people who join now will be founding members of the lab — building the first experiments with us, commissioning instruments as they arrive, and producing its earliest results.

Working in Denmark

Copenhagen is a good place to do this work and to live. Postdoc salaries follow the Danish collective agreement for academics, with an employer pension contribution of 17% on top and a negotiable supplement; international researchers qualify for a flat 32.8% tax rate for up to seven years; healthcare is free, parental leave is a year, and no Danish is required. The University supports international staff with visas, housing, and relocation.
