  • 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.

Qualifications:

  • Ph.D. in Physics, Electrical Engineering, Applied Physics, Materials Science or a related field.
  • Strong experience with fabrication and characterization of the 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.

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.

Terms of employment:
The employment is at University of Copenhagen, but the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LNBL) will be the research host.
