Assistant Professor in Quantum Optics, Atomic Physics and Materials ScienceAssistant Professor project in advancing quantum optics, atomic physics and materials growth.
The Novo Nordisk Quantum Computing Programme (NQCP) at the Niels Bohr Institute invites applications for a fixed term Assistant Professor in quantum physics and materials science , focusing on cutting-edge quantum optics and crystal growth. This prestigious opportunity is based in Copenhagen, at the Niels Bohr Institute, where quantum mechanics was first pioneered over a century ago.
About the Programme
The NQCP , funded by the Novo Nordisk Foundation , aims to develop a fault-tolerant quantum computer platform to address critical challenges in life sciences. This ambitious initiative brings together a diverse team of scientists dedicated to innovating novel fabrication techniques for quantum circuits.
The Project
The assistant professor will lead and work on a project that aims to advance quantum materials growth with unprecedented precision, cleanliness, and purity. Leveraging the latest advancements in quantum optics and atomic manipulation, this project pushes crystal growth processes to new heights. Molecular Beam Epitaxy (MBE) and ultra-high vacuum (UHV) technology will be utilized to fabricate quantum circuits under tightly controlled conditions, bringing atoms into play at the single-atom level for an unprecedented approach to crystal growth.
The position offers collaboration with all other teams at NQCP, including the Tools Development Team, Platform Integration Teams, Characterization Team, the Quantum Foundry together with international research partners. The post doc will design UHV apparatuses and control systems for sophisticated crystal growth, incorporating quantum optics and atomic physics techniques to pioneer a new field in physics. Given the sensitive and high-impact nature of this work, please contact us directly for further project details.
Role and Responsibilities
- Lead and engage in collaborative research to refine crystal growth techniques for quantum applications.
- Design and implement UHV apparatus and control systems for crystal growth and quantum circuit fabrication.
- Work closely with interdisciplinary teams to innovate MBE processes.
- Conduct research within a vibrant, international environment aimed at pushing the boundaries of quantum circuit development.
The Ideal Candidate
We seek motivated candidates with a PhD degree in Physics, Nano-Science, or Electrical Engineering, specializing in Atomic Physics, Laser Physics, Optics, Quantum Optics, Materials Science, or Crystal Growth. We expect you to have post doc experience in relevant fields as listed above. Successful candidates will have:
- Strong experimental and computational skills.
- A passion for experimental setup building and a talent for innovation.
- Ability to work independently and collaboratively in a dynamic research environment.
Scientific Environment
The assistant professor offers a stimulating work atmosphere with highly motivated colleagues within the Novo Nordisk Quantum Computing Programme (NQCP), part of the Niels Bohr Institute at the University of Copenhagen. The team at UHV Tech Laboratory is expanding rapidly, working closely with engineers and materials scientists across the NQCP.
Assessment of applicants will primarily consider their level of documented, internationally competitive research. The ability to attract external funding will be considered together with outreach qualifications. Teaching qualifications are not mandatory but documented teaching qualifications and teaching experience will be considered.
The working time is 37 hours per week on average and the working hours are flexible. The anticipated start date is 1 March 2025, or as soon as possible thereafter.
The position is limited to a period of four years and appointment will be subject to receipt of a security clearance.
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
