The Gull group has openings for postdocs, PhD students, and master/bachelor students at the University of Warsaw as part of the ERC Advanced grant Quantum Algorithms. Contact emanuel.gull@gmail.com to express interest early — funding agency paperwork requires lead time.

Postdoctoral Positions

Postdoctoral positions are available for candidates with a PhD in condensed matter theory, electronic structure and materials theory, applied mathematics, or a related field. We are looking for researchers with strong background in numerical or analytical methods for quantum many-body systems, and an interest in developing new algorithms as well as applying them to physical problems. Positions are typically funded for three years.

To apply or express interest, contact emanuel.gull@gmail.com with a CV and a brief description of your research interests.

PhD Positions

PhD positions are fully funded through the ERC Advanced grant Quantum Algorithms. PhD candidates join the Graduate School at the University of Warsaw. The current recruitment cycle is described at the 2026–2027 recruitment page. Further information is available at the physics department doctoral studies page.
