About the University of Deusto

Basic information and contact details for the University of Deusto

The University of Deusto is a private Roman Catholic university run by the Society of Jesus, and is the oldest of its kind in Spain. The institution has campuses in San Sebastian and Bilbao, with Madrid being the home of the Deusto Business School. The university was founded in 1886 as a result of the Society of Jesus wanting to relocate its Laguardia-based School of Higher Studies to a more central location and the community of the Basque Country wishing to have a university they could call their own. After being closed down due to the Spanish government dissolving the Company of Jesus in 1932, the university eventually resumed teaching in 1940 after having been used as a military base, and then a supply centre and hospital during the war. 

The Bilbao campus has its main building, or Edificio Central, opposite the famous Guggenheim Museum, and this building was the largest of its time in Bilbao. This campus is also home to the Main Hall Library (Salon De Grados) and the university's Gothic chapel, all of which contributed to the campus being declared a site of historical interest in 2002. 

The university provides courses in business and economics, law, social and human sciences, education and sport, engineering, health sciences, and theology. Its programmes include undergraduate degrees, double degrees, master’s degrees, executive education, and doctorates.

The San Sebastian campus has striking avant garde architecture and provides modern facilities such as the Matteo Ricci Technology Building, an arboretum and a new library. The university's motto is “Sapientia melior auro”, meaning “Wisdom is better than gold”.

 As a Jesuit university, a focus is put on “faith, justice and culture” in teaching. Notable alumni include newscaster and journalist Ana Blanco, film director Alex de la Iglesia, writer Espido Freire, and former minister of defence of Spain, Pedro Morenes.

University of Vienna

Austria, Vienna Danubepier Hov


At the University of Vienna almost 11,000 personalities work together towards answering the big questions of the future. Around 7,700  of them do research and teaching, around 3,000 work in administration and organisation. We are looking for a/an University assistant predoctoral/PhD Candidate 51 Faculty of Physics Startdate: 01.07.2026 | Working hours: 30 | Collective bargaining agreement: §48 VwGr. B1 Grundstufe (praedoc) Limited until: 30.06.2030 Reference no.: 5596 “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. You will also benefit from being fellow of the Vienna Doctoral School in Physics (VDSP), being part of a thriving community with more than 100 quantum scientists on premise, about 300 quantum researchers in Vienna. 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 control in levitated solid-state platforms.

You have experience in academic writing (highly desirable). You have a solid background in experimental quantum optics, opto-mechanics and optical or diamagnetic 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 (full-time basis, 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. Equal opportunities for everyone: We look forward to diverse personalities in the team! It is that easy to apply: Your scientific Curriculum Vitae. A summary of your previous academic and research achievements. Tell us what you’re proud of. A short statement on your research interests for the future. Tell us what you dream about, scientifically.
