Postdoctoral position in theoretical circuit quantum electrodynamics

Information about the division
The Departments of Microtechnology and Nanoscience and of Applied Physics focuses on research, innovation and education within the fields of future electronics, photonics, bio- and nanosystems. A close collaboration with Swedish and international partners within academy, industry and society enables scientific excellence and creates an innovative environment. In addition to the 200 researchers and Ph D students, MC2 houses a cleanroom for micro- and nanofabrication with the latest equipment.

At the Applied Quantum Physics Laboratory, we work on theoretical aspects of future high-performance nano-electronic systems. Our research covers broad spectrum of problems, everything from the fundamental problems to the very applied ones. We work in close collaborations with the experimental groups at the Linnaeus Center “Engineered Quantum Systems” at Chalmers. Our major research interests cover the directions: quantum information processing with superconducting electronics, mesoscopic superconductivity and transport in nanostructures, molecular electronics, graphene electronics.

Major responsibilities
Your major responsibility as a postdoc is to perform your research in a research group. The position may also include supervising master's and/or PhD students to a certain extent. Another important aspect involves collaboration within academia and with society at large. The position is a stepping stone for future research duties within academia as well as in industry or the public sector.

Position summary
Full-time temporary employment. The position is limited to a maximum of two years (1+1).

Qualifications
To qualify for the position of postdoc, you must have a doctoral degree in physics; the degree should generally not be older than three years. You are expected to be somewhat accustomed to teaching, and to demonstrate good potential within research.

Application procedure
The application should be marked with Ref 20140055 and written in English. The application should be sent electronically via Chalmers webpage.

Application deadline: April 7, 2014
