5 Postdoc and PhD positions: Superconducting Circuit Quantum Technologies 1507 views

QUINFOG – Quantum Information and Foundations Group is offering postdoctoral and PhD positions to work in the field of superconducting circuit quantum technologies.

About the positions:

• The positions are associated to two EU FET-Open projects led in Madrid by Juan José García-Ripoll in which we will collaborate with international experts in superconducting circuits, quantum computing and quantum optimization.
• One postdoctoral position funded by a Spanish national project in the field of theoretical quantum technologies, led by senior researchers Alejandro González-Tudela, Diego Porras and J.J. García-Ripoll. This
• The new recruits will join a young and very active group, working in quantum hardware for quantum technology, from quantum optics to quantum software, including quantum control and condensed matter physics.

The positions and projects

Requirements:

• Applications are open to candidates with a M.Sc in Physics.
• Applicants with a degree from a university outside Spain must have an “equivalence certificate”. This is a document that certifies your degree / master studies are equivalent to a Spanish Physics degree. If you do not have the certificate, you can apply with a document stating that you have applied for it (which you can do online).

Applications:

Interested candidate write an email to quinfog@gmail.com, with the following information:

• Motivation letter, detailing which positions candidate is interested in;
• CV including at least education, job experience, scientific production and a list of references for possible recommendations;
• In the case of PhD, please include marks in the CV;
• In both cases, please detail the university and country where the Physics degree has been obtained.
