Louisiana State University is seeking outstanding candidates for the role of a Postdoctoral Researcher or Senior Postdoctoral Researcher for the theoretical modeling of superconducting qubit devices and hybrid quantum material systems with applications to quantum information science.
The postdoctoral researcher responsibilities will include conducting theoretical research on novel superconducting quantum information devices and material platforms, as well as numerical modeling of device data obtained from collaborations with experimental groups. Additionally, the researcher will assist in the mentoring graduate students, publish papers and present at conferences.
The Senior postdoctoral researcher responsibilities will also include leading theoretical research on novel superconducting quantum information devices and material platforms, as well as mentoring graduate students.
Minimum qualifications: (Both) Ph.D. in physics (Senior level) three years of related experience.
The position will be a part of the “Theory of Quantum Circuits & Materials“ group led by Professor Constantin Schrade. Applicants are encouraged to visit our group’s website (www.constantinschrade.com) for more information on our research focus and directions. For any inquiries about the position, please contact Professor Constantin Schrade directly at cschrade(at)lsu.edu.
Review of applications will begin immediately and continue until the position is filled. The position is for up to two years, with a possibility to extending the contract further.
Additional Information:
The “Theory of Quantum Circuits & Materials“ at LSU is a newly established theoretical research group that works at the exciting intersection of superconducting quantum devices and quantum materials. As a senior member of the group, you will have the unique opportunity to contribute to shape a welcoming group culture and you will significantly contribute to our overarching of goals developing new applications of quantum circuits and materials for quantum information applications. Moreover, you will also have the opportunity to acquire co-supervision experience for graduate students and other junior researchers.
Our group is part of the LSU’s Department of Physics & Astronomy and the Hearne Institute of Theoretical Physics, which focuses on cutting-edge research across many domains relevant to quantum information and material science. Moreover, through the group of Professor Jim Sauls (Hearne Chair of Theoretical Physics), LSU’s Department of Physics & Astronomy is closely linked to the DOE’s Superconducting Quantum Materials and Systems Center.
LSU is situated in Baton Rouge, Louisiana’s vibrant capital, known for its rich cultural and culinary scene, mild winters, and proximity to the New Orleans metropolitan area.
