If you'd like to arrange a meeting or simply drop by, having a look at my schedule might improve your chances:

I am always interested in collaborating with motivated and creative individuals at various levels: postdoctoral researchers, PhD candidates, M.Sc./B.Sc. students, and external collaborators. Below are the current opportunities and guidelines for working together.

I welcome inquiries from independent researchers who have developed their own research trajectories, particularly in device-independent quantum information processing, quantum algorithms, entanglement theory, and tensor networks.

While these topics serve as a foundation, there is flexibility to explore your own ideas within the broader framework of our group's research.

I strongly encourage incoming postdocs to apply for a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellowship (MSCA-PF) within their first year; as a former Marie Curie fellow myself, I am glad to support and mentor such applications. Other funding routes are also highly advisable, in particular fellowships from the Dutch Research Council (NWO) and Quantum Delta NL.

Postdoctoral applicants from Germany are particularly encouraged to consider applying for a Feodor Lynen Research Fellowship from the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation, as I am an AvH alumnus and thus eligible to host such fellowships. This programme supports highly qualified researchers from Germany to work abroad at a host institute of an AvH alumnus, providing generous funding for up to two years.

I encourage applications from highly motivated students with strong backgrounds in theoretical physics, quantum computing, applied mathematics, or related fields.

Beyond advertised openings, I am also glad to discuss externally- or self-funded PhD positions, for instance through national scholarships, employer-sponsored arrangements, or co-supervision agreements with other research institutions.

To apply for any position, please include the following documents:

• Curriculum Vitae (CV): A detailed summary of your academic and research background.
• Cover Letter / Statement of Interest: Describe your research goals, background, and how your expertise aligns with our group's work.
• Academic Transcripts: Required for Ph.D. applicants; optional but recommended for other positions.
• Publications & Research Projects: Any relevant papers, preprints, or projects that showcase your expertise.
• References: Contact details for three referees who can provide insights into your academic and research abilities.

While specific opportunities may be advertised from time to time, I welcome inquiries at any point. However, due to the high volume of applications I receive, response times may vary significantly.
