Microsoft Station Q Purdue has Postdoc and Quantum Engineer Positions

Microsoft Station Q Purdue has two open positions:

Post-Doc Positions:  Microsoft Station Q Purdue is looking for post-doctoral associates to study low temperature transport phenomena in hybrid superconductor/semiconductor devices. These positions will focus on the investigation of fundamental electronic properties of systems with potential relevance to topological quantum computation in which strong spin-orbit coupling is combined with superconductivity. Qualifications: The ideal candidate will be familiar with fabrication of mesoscopic devices and small signal electrical measurements in a dilution refrigerator. Basic knowledge of superconductivity is also desirable. More information: about Microsoft Station Q Purdue can be found at https://manfragroup.org/. Interested applicants should contact Prof. Michael Manfra at mmanfra@purdue.edu.

Quantum Engineer Position:  Microsoft Station Q Purdue is looking for scientists enthusiastic about using state of the art materials and measurements to push forward the quantum computing revolution. We are developing the next generation of quantum hardware, based on topologically protected quantum bits. As a quantum engineer at Station Q Purdue, you will be using quantum transport measurement techniques to characterize new semiconductor/superconductor materials and devices. You will work closely with our team around the world to collect and analyze data, screening new materials and devices for eventual use in topological qubits. Your dedication will ensure that the development of new quantum technologies will progress smoothly and that our measurements will continuously improve in quality. Job Requirements:  M.S. in physics or electrical engineering with a focus in low temperature device physics; 2+ years’ experience in low-noise, small-signal electrical transport measurements; Extensive experience with computer programming for instrument control and data analysis, preferably using Python; Strong organizational and presentation skills; Positive team mentality and enthusiasm to work in a diverse, international team. Preference will be given to candidates with the following additional qualifications:  Ph.D. in physics with a focus on quantum transport; Experience with superconductivity and low-dimensional semiconductors; Experience with RF reflectometry.
