We are seeking an experimental physicist or engineer to pursue world-leading research in semiconductor quantum systems with applications in quantum information science. The candidate will join a team conducting research in spin qubits in silicon that leverages a wide range of skills and expertise. We are seeking candidates to develop and utilize their expertise in experimental science to advance this research. This may include quantum information processing, instrumentation science, semiconductor device physics, microwave electronics, software development, cryogenics, and related disciplines.
On any given day, you may be called on to:
-
Operate, characterize, and analyze semiconductor-based quantum devices and qubits at dilution refrigerator temperatures.
-
Interface with instrumentation to develop creative experimental techniques for implementing quantum circuits, and discovering physical phenomena relevant to semiconductor quantum dots and spin qubits.
-
Work at the intersection of electronics, cryogenics, and semiconductor device science to design and execute complex experiments.
-
Work in a diverse, collaborative team environment on large-scale projects as part of a fast-paced technically challenging research organization.
-
Conduct original research in quantum information science while also supporting internal research teams and milestones.
-
Communicate results to sponsors, collaborators, team members, and others in various venues.
Due to the nature of the work, the selected applicant must be able to work onsite.
Salary Range:
$109,300 - $217,400
*Salary range is estimated, and actual salary will be determined after consideration of the selected candidate’s experience and qualifications, and application of any approved geographic salary differential.
Qualifications We Require:
-
PhD in Physics, Applied Physics, Electrical Engineering, or relevant field.
-
Experience performing original research, demonstrated through a track record of publications in peer-reviewed journals or external presentations at scientific conferences.
-
Experience conducting experimental research in a laboratory environment.
-
Ability to obtain and maintain a DOE Q clearance and an SCI clearance, which may require a polygraph examination.
