This is the application tracking system for internship, master thesis, Ph.D. and Postdoctoral positions in the research group of Filippo Vicentini, at Ecole Polytechnique and College de France.
For a full description of our research directions, open positions, and what we look for in candidates, visit the hiring page on our group website.
We are a theoretical and computational research group at École Polytechnique working at the intersection of quantum physics, condensed matter theory, and machine learning for physics. Our goal is to understand complex quantum systems and develop new computational tools — including neural-network quantum states and variational methods — to study them.
The positions listed below are currently openly advertised. I also welcome spontaneous applications all the time. I sometimes also put interesting applications on hold, meaning that I will get back to you when i have more funding.
I know it's uncommon for single researchers to use such forms, but given the volume of applications i receive, i'm experimenting with this as a mean to handle all applicants and not forget about them.
Please read the enquiries page on our group website before reaching out — it answers most common questions about informal enquiries, what to include in a first email, and what we look for.
Short research internship for undergraduate or master's students.
Master's thesis project within the research group.
Doctoral research position in computational condensed matter and quantum many-body physics.
********, a world-tier AI company* based in Paris. The supervisor will be Filippo Vicentini, both within the company and academically. Applicants will have to go through ********'s hiring process AND be validated by me.Postdoctoral research position for independent and collaborative projects in the group.
Even if no specific position matches your profile, we welcome motivated applications.
Read the hiring page to understand what background
and skills we look for before applying.
We welcome undergraduate and early-graduate internship students (typically 2-6 months,
full-time). Candidates should have a strong physics or applied mathematics background
and ideally some programming experience.
Master thesis projects (typically 4-6 months) are available for students with a solid
background in quantum mechanics or statistical physics. Computational experience is a plus.
PhD positions (3-4 years) are available for exceptional students. We look for candidates
with a strong theoretical background, curiosity, and motivation to develop new ideas at
the frontier of quantum physics and machine learning.
Postdoctoral positions are available for researchers with a PhD in theoretical physics,
computational physics, or related fields, and a track record in quantum many-body physics,
quantum information, or ML for physics.
