Staff Scientist in Quantum Measurements

The Department of Physics is seeking a highly motivated and technically proficient Staff Scientist to join our quantum research community. The role has two main components: first, serving as the driving force for a new quantum technology measurement infrastructure shared between academic and commercial actors, with a strong focus on spin qubit measurements and close links to the new EU quantum pilot line in semiconducting qubits; second, working broadly across research groups in the department to support and develop capabilities in RF/microwave and quantum measurements more generally. This is a 5-year, fixed-term position at the exciting intersection of academic research and industrial applications.

Who we are looking for

We require a doctorate in physics, electrical engineering or something related, experience in RF/microwave electronics, qubit measurements (in some platform) and in millikelvin measurements. Ideally you have experience with spin qubits and more than 2 years of experience after your PhD in either academic or industrial labs.

The ideal candidate possesses the technical depth of an experienced academic alongside a pragmatic, delivery-focused mindset. Beyond your technical mastery of qubit platforms (ideally spin qubits), your success will depend on your ability to proactively organize laboratory workflows and communicate effectively across a broad ecosystem of stakeholders.

This is a unique opportunity to work at the intersection of academia and quantum industry with state-of-the-art infrastructure characterizing bleeding edge qubit devices from all over Europe.
