Master’s Theses & Research Projects at QTAS

If you have always wanted to translate the skills you acquired during your studies into real-world impact, this role is for you. At QTAS, your work will contribute directly to technologies that improve people’s lives through better medical diagnostics and cancer therapy monitoring.

This is an opportunity to apply your knowledge not just in theory, but in systems that are being built for real use, now.

At QTAS we develop quantum sensing–based medical technologies aimed at improving diagnostics and monitoring cancer therapies. We translate cutting-edge research into practical, deployable systems that generate medically relevant insights.

Our work is deeply interdisciplinary, sitting at the intersection of biology and medicine, physics, engineering, and software. By combining quantum sensors with tailored bioassays and advanced data analysis, we create end-to-end systems that transform complex physical measurements into actionable medical information. This close integration across disciplines is what allows our work to have real clinical relevance, and change the world for the better.

Enrolled in a Master’s program in Biotechnology, Bioengineering, Medicine, Physics, Quantum Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Biotechnology, Bioengineering, Computer Science, or a related field

• Strong interest in applied, hands-on research and system-level thinking
• Motivation to work across disciplinary boundaries and learn beyond your core field
• Depending on focus area, experience with laboratory work, programming, or data analysis is a plus, but not a must. If we piqued your interest we highly encourage you to apply regardless of your level of experience.

Depending on your background and interests, your work may include:

• Development of bioassays, including markers, sample preparation, blood stabilization, and SOPs
• Development and optimization of quantum sensing setups, including optics and experimental system
• Design and integration of hardware and electronics, such as sensors and control systems
• Software development for instrument control, data acquisition, and analysis
• Application of data analysis and AI-based methods to extract meaningful insights from complex measurements
• Close collaboration with team members across biology, physics, and software to develop integrated solutions

Your Master’s thesis will be embedded in an ongoing, real product development effort, not a standalone academic exercise.

• A Master’s thesis position in collaboration with TUM, academically supervised and operationally embedded at QTAS
• Employment as a paid working student (up to 8 hours per week) alongside your thesis
• Hands-on experience in a highly interdisciplinary, startup-driven environment
• Close mentorship from experienced scientists and engineers
• Insight into the full development cycle of a medical technology
• Possibility of continued collaboration or employment after your thesis
