| The Superconducting Quantum Detector Group at the University of Oxford invites applications from suitable qualified candidates for two ERC funded PDRA positions, to join us for developing quantum-limited superconducting parametric amplifiers and associated superconducting quantum devices for astronomy, fundamental physics and quantum information technologies. | | ▸ more | Two Post-Doctoral Research Assistant Positions
Department of Physics, University of Oxford
Closing date: 16th April 2021
The Superconducting Quantum Detector Group at the University of Oxford invites applications from suitable qualified candidates for two ERC funded PDRA positions. The post is available initially for a fixed-term duration of 2 years, with the possibility of extension (until end of grant).
Our research is primarily aimed at the development of ultra-sensitive superconducting quantum devices for astronomy and quantum computation. One of the main research focuses of our current programme is the development of quantum-limited Superconducting Parametric Amplifiers (SPAs), which is of high priority importance for fundamental physics, in particular the challenging millimetre (mm) and sub-mm astronomy, dark matter searches and development of quantum information technologies.
The successful candidate will lead an SPA associated project, design the superconducting devices, setup the experiment using a test cryostat system, conduct experiments to test and analysis the performance of the devices, including guide and assist post-graduate research students, writing progress reports, attending conferences and publish scientific papers. The post-holder will have the opportunity to teach. Applicants should possess, or be very close to completion of a doctorate in physics or a related field and ideally a strong background in superconducting quantum devices.
We welcome applications from all qualified applicants. Applications should be submitted online via the links by the closing date. Please click on the following links for more details regarding the posts.
