stillingsbetegnelse: Quantum Research Scientist

jobbeskrivelse:

The Microsoft Quantum Program announces a remarkable opportunity to work with an international team to build a topological quantum computer, in cooperation with the Niels Bohr Institute (NBI), in Copenhagen, Denmark, the birthplace of quantum physics. The Microsoft/NBI Research program is one of the locations for the overall Microsoft Quantum program along with sites in Lyngby (Denmark), Delft (Netherlands), Sydney (Australia), Purdue, UC Santa Barbara, and Redmond (USA).

 

For this position, we are seeking a Research Scientist working with semiconductor-superconductor hybrid materials to create topological qubits. A successful candidate will be responsible for:

• Investigate novel material systems for topological quantum computing.
• Test and characterize quantum computing devices at cryogenic temperatures using low noise measurement techniques.
• Data acquisition and analysis of measurement data.
• Develop microwave and RF measurement techniques.
• Develop experimental procedures to optimize materials and device performance.
• Assist in optimizing design of quantum computing devices.
• Assist in electronic and cryogenic equipment maintenance and repair.

Multiple positions available in Copenhagen (Demark) and Delft (Netherlands).

Responsibilities

• Set up and perform solid state quantum experiments based on novel material systems.
• Data acquisition using RF and DC measurement techniques, data analysis and interpretation.
• Operate and maintain cryogenic equipment.
• Provide feedback to the nanofabrication and material developers for device and material optimization.

Qualifications

• Ph.D. in low-temperature condensed matter physics with a focus on topological materials and/or induced superconductivity in low-dimensional semiconductors.
• 4+ years hands-on experience with measurements of solid state devices.
• 4+ years experience with one or more of: low noise transport experiments, RF or microwave techniques, cryogenic techniques (4K measurements, dilution refrigerator), and metrology (SEM, atomic force microscope, ellipsometer, four probe resistivity) equipment, variable temperature electrical characterization (for semiconductors, dielectrics, and superconductors), data acquisition and programming (python, matlab).
• Excellent written and oral communication skills
• Strong attention to detail and good organizational skills
• Strong desire to work in a collaborative international team – periodic travel to other Microsoft Quantum laboratory sites will be required.

To apply, please include CV and a list of three references.
