Job openings
- SB – Postdoctoral position in the Hybrid Quantum Circuits Laboratory (HQC) (Strong and Ultrastrong Coupling with QD-Cavity Hybrid Architecture)
The Hybrid Quantum Circuits Laboratory is seeking a motivated postdoctoral researcher to work on the design, fabrication, and characterization of superconducting-semiconducting hybrid devices. The project focuses on integrating quantum dot devices in planar Geranium heterostructure InA’s nanowires with suprconducting high-impedance resonators to explore ultrastrong coupling and advance quantum technologies.
The position involves nanofabrication in the CMi cleanroom at EPFL, cryogenic microwave measurements at millikelvin temperatures, and collaboration with leading institutions providing high-quality materials. Candidates should have a strong background in quantum physics, condensed matter, or nanoelectronics. Experience in nanofabrication, cryogenics, and microwave electronics is a plus, as are programming skills and effective communication.
This is an exciting opportunity for independent, driven researchers to contribute to cutting-edge quantum device development. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis.
- STI – PhD position in the Dynamic Quantum Materials Laboratory (DQML)
The PhD position, supervised by Professor Gregor Jotzu, aims at exploring the light-induced control of quantum magnets and their phase transitions, ultrafast dynamics of superconductors, and unconventional non-equilibrium topological phases. Experimental tasks encompass generating strong mid-infrared and THz laser pulses, as well as establishing detection techniques including ultrafast optical spectroscopy and novel magnetometry in a cryogenic environment.
Candidates should be highly motivated for cutting-edge experimental research, demonstrating both teamwork and independent initiative. A solid background in physics or materials, especially optics, quantum and solid state physics, is important. Lab experience would be advantageous, particularly in areas like laser optics, cryogenics, material characterization, data acquisition or experiment control. Effective communication in English and programming skills are also beneficial. However, the key requirement is a willingness to learn and engage in challenging research.
