Positions

Postdoctoral Associate
The Nichol Group in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Rochester seeks applications for a postdoctoral research associate. We are a leading research group in the field of quantum information processing with semiconductor quantum dots. We are looking for a creative, self-motivated researcher who has the ability and interest to pursue exciting and challenging problems in spin qubits, many-body quantum coherence, quantum transduction, and related areas.  The ideal candidate will have:

  • completed a PhD in physics or a related field,
  • experience with cryogenics, including dilution refrigerators,
  • experience with microfabrication and nanofabrication, including electron beam lithography, and
  • good communication and teamwork skills.

To apply, applicants should submit their CV, a brief statement of research interests, and arrange to have three letters of recommendation sent to John Nichol (john.nichol@rochester.edu). Review of applications will begin immediately and will continue until the position is filled.
