Postdoc – Development of scalable superconducting quantum systems

The mission of the Institute for Functional Quantum Systems (PGI-13) is to create the technological and scientific basis to enable useful quantum computing. We focus on developing quantum devices, improving their coherence and materials, and implementing quantum gates and algorithms. We use superconducting qubits that operate at temperatures close to absolute zero and are controlled by high-speed signals. A key requirement is to preserve high quality quantum operations as we scale. Overcoming these exciting challenges lies at the interface between scientific research and engineering.

Your Job:

This position focuses on developing, operating, and characterizing superconducting quantum devices. Your tasks in detail are:

• Development of novel methods for experimentation, fabrication, and characterization
• Develop gate implementations, benchmarking and algorithms
• Work on the interdisciplinary challenges in systems engineering
• Install and improve experimental setups and fabrication tools
• Supervising and guiding Master and PhD students
• Active participation in project meetings and events
• Presenting and publishing the research on an international stage

Your Profile:

• PhD in physics or related with a background in the field of experimental quantum information
• Deep knowledge of solid state physics and/or quantum information
• Experience with microfabrication and/or operating and calibrating quantum systems
• Experience with hardware interfacing programming in Python
• Team-oriented and highly motivated to work in an experimental laboratory
• A background in quantum computing as well as experience with cryogenics, signal delivery, materials optimization, and microwave control are highly preferred qualifications

Our Offer:

We work on the very latest issues that impact our society and are offering you the chance to actively help in shaping the change! We support you in your work with:

• A large research campus with green spaces, offering the best possible means for networking with colleagues and pursuing sports alongside work
• Comprehensive training courses and individual opportunities for personal and professional further development
• Extensive company health management
• Ideal conditions for balancing work and private life, as well as a family-friendly corporate policy
• Flexible work (location) arrangements, e.g. remote work
• 30 days of annual leave and provision for days off between public holidays and weekends (e.g. between Christmas and New Year)
• Targeted services for international employees, e.g. through our International Advisory Service

We welcome applications from people with diverse backgrounds, e.g. in terms of age, gender, disability, sexual orientation / identity, and social, ethnic and religious origin. A diverse and inclusive working environment with equal opportunities in which everyone can realize their potential is important to us.

We look forward to receiving your application. The job will be advertised until the position has been successfully filled. You should therefore submit your application as soon as possible.
