Application deadline: 

Saturday, June 8, 2024

Research group: 

We have openings for talented young scientists who are ready to take up a leadership role in our group and to spearhead new initiatives and provide supervision and guidance to junior members of the team.

You will be part of a well funded initiative to create hybrid systems with Lithium Niobate and rare-earth ions for quantum information processing. Your job will include the following subjects:
- Leading the measurement of Integrated Photonics chips
- Operating dilution refrigerators (Bluefors LD400)
- Mentoring graduate students

If your profile includes an inclination for nano-fabrication you might work on:
- Spearheading the development and fabrication of chips that combine integrated photonics and rare-earth ions (including on-site lithography and etching)
- Exploring novel fabrication methods to couple rare-earth ions in solid-state with integrated optics and superconducting circuits

You will also work closely with the PI to develop future experimental goals and shape the general research direction of the group. There will also be ample opportunity to explore your own ideas and participate in grant-writing processes. We aim to provide you a challenging and supportive environment to perfect your research leadership skills and get ready for your next career step! On top of an attracting package, you will also be evolving in Singapore's highly fruitful Quantum Ecosystem that provides ample opportunities for funding and career prospects.

Postdoc applicants should have proven research experience and have a strong interest in quantum technologies. Furthermore, a PhD in Experimental Physics or Engineering is required.

Ideally the candidate received its PhD working on superconducting circuits, spin defects in solid-state, integrated optics or quantum optics experiments. A good knowledge of quantum mechanics / quantum optics is required. An excellent command of the English language is essential.

We are strongly committed to ensuring the wellbeing of our group. We provide good benefits and work-life balance. Multiple people in the group and around are trained peer-supporters. Our group is also strongly committed to increase the representation of women and minorities in STEM at all levels. We therefore particularly encourage applications that will help us in this goal.
