There are also several affiliated institutes, which includes The French Institute, which was founded in 1979 and serves as a specialised research centre for students studying French history, culture, and language. There is also The Aaron T. Beck Institute for Cognitive Studies, a research centre for students studying counselling psychology courses, and the Worcester Institute for Senior Education (WISE), which offers non-credit courses across most academic departments to older learners in the community.

Students at Assumption College have the opportunity to study abroad. Since 2013, students have been able to live and study in the heart of Italy’s capital – at the Assumption Rome Campus. There are also chances to study abroad for a semester, or one or two weeks. In the past, students have visited England, Ireland, France and Eastern Europe.

Athletic teams at Assumption College participate in the National Collegiate Athletic Association's Division II. Men's sports include baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, ice hockey, lacrosse, soccer, tennis and track & field; while women's sports include basketball, cross country, field hockey, lacrosse, rowing, soccer, softball, swimming & diving, tennis, track and field and volleyball.

Moreover after raising some $21 million, Assumption College announced plans to build a $3.2 million multi-sport stadium, which opened in 2005. Six athletic teams have access to the stadium, which has an elevated grandstand seating for approximately 1,200 spectators, a press box and president’s box.

Assumption College has its own newspapers – Le Provocateur – that is written and produced by students and published bimonthly. The College’s yearbook (Heights), literary magazine (Phoenix) and creative non-fiction journal (Thoreau's Rooster) are also all produced by students.

B1 Grundstufe (praedoc) Limited until: 30.04.2030 Reference no.: 5458 “How does a quantum object gravitate?”, “How far can we push massive objects into the quantum regime?”, “How well can we measure gravity of microscopic systems?”. Such questions and their implications for the foundations of physics are the driving force behind our research. You will be part of our team and develop new ideas, technologies and experiments to provide new insights on macroscopic quantum physics, on gravity at small scales and, in the long run, on the phenomenology of the gravity-quantum interface in table-top experiments. Your personal sphere of influence: As a university assistant (praedoc) on this 4 year position, you will be part of the Aspelmeyer group, and you will be exploring fundamentals and applications of macrosopic quantum coherence in levitated solidstate platforms. Our Team is part of the Quantum Optics, Quantum Nanophysics and Quantum Information group of the Faculty of Physics. We are member of the Vienna Center for Quantum Science and Technology (VCQ), one of the largest quantum hubs in Europe, and of the Austrian Cluster of Excellence (quantA), advancing basic research in quantum sciences, aiming to expand the frontiers of knowledge and thus being the engine for future innovations.

The main research activities of the Aspelmeyer group include quantum optical control of levitated solid state objects, the exploration of their quantum properties for fundamental questions and novel quantum technology platforms, as well as precision measurements of ultra-weak gravitational forces. On the quantum side, we explore the extreme regime of motional quantum states of solids and their interactions to understand how to maximize mass, delocalization, and coherence time in quantum experiments. On the gravity side, we explore the extreme regime of gravitational phenomena of miniature source masses to understand how to isolate gravity from all other interactions on a microscopic scale. Our main motivation is to explore the interface between quantum physics and gravity with new experimental platforms. Your future tasks: You will actively participate in research, teaching & administration. This means: You are involved in a specific and well-funded research project, here focused on exploring fundamentals and applications of quantum entanglement in levitated solid-state platforms.

You will continuously stay informed about the state of the art in your field. You will contribute to outreach by publications, conference presentations and public activities. This is part of your personality: You have completed your Master's degree or Diploma in physics and written your master thesis in the field of experimental quantum optics, quantum entanglement or quantum control. You have experience in academic writing (highly desirable). You have a solid background in experimental quantum optics, opto-mechanics and optical levitation. You have experience with the usual tools for advanced experiments: homodyne and heterodyne detection, programming. You have an excellent command of written and spoken English. What we offer: Inspiring working atmosphere: You are a part of an international academic team in a healthy and fair working environment. Good public transport connections: Your workplace in the center of beautiful Vienna is easily accessible by public transport. Potential for development: Success in life depends on what you make of it, but if you are ambitious and successful, there are plenty of opportunities to connect you to all relevant top research groups in the world. Internal further training & coaching: The Vienna Doctoral School as well as the Department of Human Resources offer plenty of opportunities to grow your skills in over 600 courses to choose from – free of charge. Fair salary: The basic salary of EUR 3.776,10 (40h/w, 14x p.a.) increases if we can credit professional experience. The employment duration is 4 years. Initially limited to 1.5 years, the employment relationship is automatically extended to 4 years if the employer does not terminate it within the first 12 months by submitting a non-extension declaration.
