IKUR Quantum Technologies MOLBITS Project. Post-doctoral position for designing molecular qubits
Job Vacancy
Research Field: Physics
Sub Research:
Job Summary
BCMaterials is looking for a motivated and experienced post-doctoral researcher to (a) develop a deeper fundamental and practical understanding of molecular qubits for quantum technologies and (b) enhance the robustness and scalability of molecular qubits to facilitate their real-world deployment. For such purpose, the postdoctoral researcher will synthesize novel MOFs that behave as qubits and will determine their spin dynamics, including spin-lattice relaxation and quantum coherence times. The post-doctoral researcher will work in close contact with researchers at CFM (Materials Physics Center) to deposit on surfaces the obtained compounds.
