- You have characterized materials and devices using electrical transport measurements and electron microscopy
- You have a strong knowledge of superconductivity and quantum information science
- You have performed low temperature electrical transport measurements and data analysis
Responsibilities
- You will lead scientific investigations of superconducting devices made from transition metal silicide materials
- You will 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
- You will conduct device characterization at DC and high frequency
- You will participate in collaborations in materials optimization, device fabrication, and testing
Other
- You work effectively in a collaborative team to tackle challenging scientific problems
- You can work independently within the team
- You communicate effectively, both verbally and also through writing
- You earned a Ph.D. in an appropriate discipline within the past five years
- Travel, lodging, and related support for temporary assignments will be provided in accordance with Brookhaven Laboratory policies
