The Center for Quantum Devices is a basic research center supported by the Danish National Research Foundation, comprising materials research, experimental physics, nanoelectronics and condensed matter theory. Station Q Copenhagen is a research center sponsored by Microsoft Research aimed at developing topological quantum information processing hardware.

The position
The Center for Quantum Devices announces the opening of one to three post-doctoral positions to develop hybrid superconductor-semiconductor materials for quantum transport electronic structures. The project work will involve bottom-up nanostructured crystal growth, top-down device fabrication, and structural and electronic characterization, with the overarching goal of making low dimensional components for topological quantum information processing.

The postdoc’s duties will include research within superconducting qubits design and fabrication as well as teaching. The post may also include performance of other duties.

More information about QDev and the new collaborative relationship with Microsoft as a Station Q can be found at QDev.dk.

The candidate
The successful applicant, who should have a strong background in both physics and material science, and preferably in nanofabrication, will be enrolled as a post-doctoral researcher at the University of Copenhagen.
