Quantum Information Science Postdoctoral Research Associate

Brookhaven Science Associates • Upton, NY

79d • $71,900 - $80,000

About The Position

In this position, you will lead research a project creating millimeter-wave superconducting devices using transition metal silicide materials, under the supervision of BNL scientists Mingzhao Liu and Charles Black. Your project will involve fundamental materials science and device physics investigations for applications in superconducting qubits. In this work, you will spend part of your time at NY Creates Albany NanoTech Complex, where you will collaborate with staff using 193 nm deep-UV lithography to fabricate devices at 300mm-wafer scale.

Requirements

• Earned a Ph.D. in an appropriate discipline (Physics, Chemistry, Materials Science, or Electrical Engineering) within the past five years.
• Experienced with nanofabrication (cleanroom), including metal deposition, lithography (electron-beam lithography and photolithography), and etching.
• Characterized materials and devices using electrical transport measurements and electron microscopy.

Nice To Haves

• Strong knowledge of superconductivity and quantum information science.
• Performed low temperature electrical transport measurements and data analysis.
• Work effectively in a collaborative team to tackle challenging scientific problems.
• Can work independently within the team.
• Communicate effectively, both verbally and also through writing.

Responsibilities

• Lead scientific investigations of superconducting devices made from transition metal silicide materials.
• Fabricate and measure silicide QIS devices, including Josephson junctions and resonators, both lab-scale prototypes and participate in collaborations to fabricate devices at 300mm-wafer scales.
• Conduct device characterization at DC and high frequency.
• Participate in collaborations in materials optimization, device fabrication, and testing.

Benefits

• Comprehensive employee benefits program.
• Salary range of $71,900 - $80,000 per year, commensurate with qualifications, education, and experience.
