Fellowship Opportunity: MQV & IMPRS Doctoral Fellowships, Fall 2024 Call
by ELIZABETH M BALDRIDGE 30 Nov '23

30 Nov '23

Hello MSPQC Students: I am reaching out with information about the Munich Quantum Valley & IMPRS doctoral fellowships, starting in Fall 2024 (application is open now). I have recently been made aware of this opportunity, but each year, Munich Quantum Valley awards doctoral fellowships to outstanding young researchers. These three-year ad personam fellowships provide flexibility for recipients to join research groups at any Bavarian university, fostering collaboration across the region. The research areas covered by MQV include aspects of quantum engineering and computer science, applications of quantum computing, atomic physics, quantum optics, solid-state physics, material science, quantum information theory, etc. Selected candidates not only benefit from full funding for three years but also gain access to existing graduate programs, summer schools, and workshops organized by MQV and our partner programs. They are committed to promoting diversity and inclusion, actively encouraging students from all backgrounds to apply. Candidates have the opportunity to apply for IMPRS-QST Munich doctoral fellowships concurrently. The two programs exist in the same quantum community in Munich and provide similar benefits, with the only differences being the source of financing funds and the scopes of the programs, where Munich Quantum Valley is more focused on engineering and computational part of quantum, and IMPRS-QST - on the fundamental physics aspects. Furthermore, it is possible for the MQV Doctoral Fellows to join IMPRS graduate school and courses too. Important: the application will be only considered for both fellowships if it's submitted separately (using the same portal) for IMPRS and for MQV fellowships. They encourage applying to both fellowships. More about both programs and their activities you can find on our websites: MQV<https://www.munich-quantum-valley.de/> and IMPRS-QST<https://www.imprs-quantum.mpg.de/>. The application period is open until January 15, 2024: here is a link to the application portal<https://application.imprs-quantum.mpg.de/public/>. Any inquiries can be directed to Mariia Kuzina, the Education Coordinator at Munich Quantum Valley (MQV): mariia.kuzina(a)munich-quantum-valley.de<mailto:mariia.kuzina@munich-quantum-valley.de>. Have a great day! Elizabeth Hart-Baldridge, M.S. Ed. Graduate Program Manager Master of Science in Physics-Quantum Computing Program<https://www.physics.wisc.edu/graduate/mspqc-prospective-students/> Department of Physics University of Wisconsin-Madison Elizabeth.baldridge(a)wisc.edu<mailto:Elizabeth.baldridge@wisc.edu> (608)263-2235 Need to meet with me?

Email for MSPQC students graduating in Fall 2023
by ELIZABETH M BALDRIDGE 06 Nov '23

06 Nov '23

Dear MSPQC Students: This email is for students planning to graduate at the end of Fall 2023 (December 2023). If you are not planning to graduate in Fall 2023, please disregard this email. Please respond to this email by Friday, November 10 @ 11:59 PM to confirm that you are planning to graduate in Fall 2023. I will be submitting "warrants" for students who plan to graduate in Fall 2023 soon. A warrant is essentially the graduation application I send to the graduate school for each individual student which triggers subsequent actions by the graduate school and registrar's office to clear you to graduate and eventually mail your diploma. Thank you! Elizabeth Hart-Baldridge, M.S. Ed.
