Post doctoral position in Advanced Fabrication of chip-based qubit platforms

at  Kbenhavns Universitet

The Molecular Foundry (MF) at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (https://foundry.lbl.gov/) and Novo Nordisk Quantum Computing Program (NQCP)/Quantum Foundry are collaborating on advancing superconducting and semiconducting quantum computing platforms towards scalable fault-tolerant quantum computing. This position is for a postdoctoral researcher who will perform work at Berkeley on improving qubits and related quantum processor performance with a particular focus on material quality/choice and novel fabrication and packaging development.

QUALIFICATIONS:

• Ph.D. in Physics, Electrical Engineering, Applied Physics, Materials Science or a related field
• Strong experience with fabrication and characterization of e.g. above-mentioned qubit platforms
• Strong interest in understanding the material science aspects of qubit performance
• Effective oral and written communication skills.
• Ability to work independently and in collaboration with students and postdocs at Berkeley and NQCP
• Excellent analytical, organizational, and multitasking skills.
  Inquiries about the position can be made to Sangeeth Kallatt sangeeth.kallatt@nbi.ku.dk and Peter Krogstrup krogstrup@nbi.ku.dk at NQCP or Adam Schwartzberg amschwartzberg@lbl.gov at MF.
  This is a full-time, 3-year postdoctoral appointment with the possibility of renewal based upon satisfactory job performance, continuing availability of funds, and ongoing operational needs.
  The position is open from 1 November 2024 or as soon as possible thereafter.
  The University wishes our staff to reflect the diversity of society and thus welcomes applications from all qualified candidates regardless of personal background.

• Perform device fabrication, device and materials characterization as well as analysis
• Develop novel fabrication and characterization methods, e.g. utilizing in-situ characterization and fabrication techniques, advanced chip designs
• Document and communicate results of work in peer-reviewed-journal publications and in oral presentations, including participation in meetings, conferences, and reviews.
• Be a link between MF and NQCP to increase collaboration and advancement of the above platforms
