Gothenburg, Sweden Chalmers tekniska högskola Full time


Looking for a unique and collaborative endeavor at the cutting edge of photonics and quantum engineering? Read on

Our goal at is to build a useful quantum computer. The complexity of today's quantum processors must be increased to help fields like chemistry and medicine. We are forming a new interdisciplinary team to understand and increase the power of quantum technology.

Information about the project and the environment The positions are in the brand-new (QPL). We are scientists, applied physicists, and engineers. We explore the flow of and interactions between light, sound, and microwaves.

There is no reliable path to a sustainable growth in society's capability to compute and connect. A key issue is the excessive energy loss caused by communication. In classical datacenters and computers, this energy loss leads to heating and greenhouse gas emissions. In emerging quantum processors, the energy loss prevents scaling up small quantum devices into more powerful systems. We are developing new hardware to address this. Read more and in this .

This project is part of the (WACQT), a 12-year, billion-SEK initiative with the purpose of advancing Swedish academia and industry to the forefront of quantum technology, and to build a Swedish quantum computer. We are members of the in the (MC2). We work with the experimentalists in the and the theorists at the . Our department hosts the state-of-the-art MC2 cleanroom, the largest such facility in Northern Europe. We have cutting-edge cryogenic, microwave and optical measurement capabilities.

Major responsibilities
 As a PhD student, your main task is to lead and conduct research in collaboration with others. You will be expected to help develop your skills, the team, and contribute with your creative ideas. We value a collaborative attitude and an interest in working both independently and collaboratively in a team environment, sharing best practices and assuming responsibility. Self-motivation, attention to detail, and a problem-solving ability are important personal qualities for these positions. We highly value a collaborative spirit, a commitment to inclusive teamwork, and a drive for continuous learning and professional growth, ensuring a supportive environment for all team members.

Qualifications
 We welcome motivated candidates who love to learn from any field. Experience with either quantum engineering, photonics, nanofabrication, nanomechanics, cryogenics or superconductivity is a plus. To qualify for these positions you need a Master's degree in Physics, Chemistry, Photonics, Nanotechnology, Applied Physics, Electrical Engineering, or equivalent by the starting date at the latest. Candidates holding a Bachelor's degree may qualify in certain cases. You need to be fluent in spoken and written English. Please contact us if you are unsure about applying

We offer
 Full-time temporary employment. The position is for at least 4 years with opportunities to extend to 5 years. Your starting date is negotiable. We offer a competitive salary and excellent working conditions with flexible and family-friendly working hours. are designed to help you recharge.

Chalmers offers a cultivating and inspiring working environment in the coastal city of .
