Research Associate Quantum Technologies (m/f/d) - Keyword: 30-2025 WiMa SAX-QT -

The "Saxon Research Network Quantum Technologies (SAX-QT)" pools Saxon expertise in quantum computing, quantum sensor technology and quantum materials in order to transfer research results to industry and society more quickly. Through joint workshops, training courses and cooperative R&D projects, the network strengthens the transfer of knowledge, increases the third-party funding capacity of its partners and positions Saxony as a leading location for future-oriented quantum technologies.

In the research network, you will support the network management in all operational matters and promote the transfer of knowledge between research, industry and the public. You will prepare specialist content on quantum computing and related technologies didactically, develop clear training and presentation materials and adapt these to different target groups (companies, universities, schools). Together with the partners, you will coordinate workshops, doctoral schools and further education formats, take on organizational tasks on site or online and ensure the quality of the content.

You will also be involved in the design of outreach and communication measures, create guidelines, short videos or demo notebooks (e.g. in Python/Qiskit) and maintain a central knowledge platform. You will support market and technology research, prepare results for reports and presentations and work closely with network management on administrative processes, scheduling and preparing third-party funding applications. Your role combines organizational skills with a professional interest in quantum technologies and contributes significantly to the visible and effective implementation of the network's offerings.
