#jobs

The Transformative Quantum Technologies (TQT) program at the University of Waterloo has several openings for Postdoctoral Fellowships (PDFs).

These prestigious positions are available immediately and intended for early-career scientists with an advanced degree (PhD). The selected fellow(s) will join the research group of a Principal Investigator through a TQT-funded project, and contribute to the collaborative TQT research community. 

Principal Investigator: Na Young Kim

Project Name: Solid-state Analog Quantum Simulator and Optimization Solver (Experiment)

Research Area: Cavity quantum electrodynamics (CQED) & quantum optics experiments and theory, semiconductor and microcavity design and device fabrication, low-temperature cryogenic optical/electrical measurements

Relevant Fields: Physics, Chemistry, Material Science Engineering, Electric Engineering or equivalent field

Required Skills: Strong hands-on optical characterization experience (photoluminescence/ electroluminescence/ absorption/ magnetooptical spectroscopy, pump-probe dynamical and correlation measurements, quantum optics setup etc). Experience of nano fabrication and characterizations (E-beam lithography, Photolithography, metallization wet/dry etching, device packaging, sonication, glove-box experience etc.) is a plus.

Number of Openings: 1

The appointment is for two years with the possibility of renewal. The salary is competitive and commensurate with experience. The Principal Investigators are especially interested in candidates who, through their research, teaching, and/or service, will contribute to the diversity and excellence of the academic community.

These PDF positions are made possible thanks in part to funding from the Canada First Research Excellence Fund .
