København, Denmark Quantum Flagship Full time

The Novo Nordisk Foundation Quantum Computing Programme (NQCP) is establishing a talented and diverse international team to create a cutting-edge quantum programme in the heart of Copenhagen, Denmark. At the Niels Bohr Institute, University of Copenhagen, where the formulation of Quantum Mechanics was born 100 years ago, we aim to establish an international quantum computing programme, generously funded by the Novo Nordisk Foundation, that will drive research and innovations at multiple levels - from developing scalable quantum processor technologies to solutions for the quantum-classical control and readout interface, and all the way to quantum algorithms and applications. The long-term mission of the programme is to develop fault-tolerant quantum computing hardware and quantum algorithms that solve life-science-relevant chemical and biological problems.

NQCP is looking for an engineer to support our material characterization efforts. You will be working across multiple platforms, enacting characterization protocols for our novel materials and reliably and precisely extracting relevant metrics. This will be done in close collaboration with the materials growth and fabrication teams as well as various international partners from industry and academia.

Qualifications

The successful candidate will have some of the following qualifications:

  • Masters degree in physics, engineering, materials science or related
  • Experience with electron microscopy
  • Some experience with techniques including: atomic force microscopy, X-ray diffraction, electrical measurements and optical microscopy.
  • Experience with process engineering concepts, automation and data logging.
  • A service minded approach and willingness to learn and adapt to new techniques.
  • Good communication skills and ability to work in a complex research program.
Why Us?

Joining NQCP now, you will contribute to the fulfilment of the mission of NQCP. Life in Denmark is supported with strong social services (free universal healthcare, free/subsidised language courses, paid parental leave, subsidised day care institutions and excellent public schools). Our work culture is very egalitarian and prioritises work life balance. Dual career families are the norm, and workplaces offer flexibility to support everyone in having both an exciting career and good family time. Danish cities are known for having excellent infrastructure, for example through widespread bike path networks. We can also offer a thriving food-scene, excellent museums, and beautiful natural scenery.
