Agency for Science, Technology and Research – Queenstown
We are looking for a candidate to join our team in developing next-generation quantum sensors.
The position will focus on modeling the dynamics and fabricating cryogenic components for the superconducting levitation of ferromagnetic particles.
This levitated, freely precessing particle forms a system of correlated spins, capable of rapidly averaging out quantum uncertainty.
By harnessing this system, we aim to develop quantum sensors with sensitivities that exceed the standard quantum limit.
This position is based in the Quantum Innovation Centre (Q.Inc) and Institute of Materials Research and Engineering (IMRE).
The successful candidate will contribute to a range of innovative activities, including :
Key Responsibilities
Modeling the dynamics of the levitated particle
Microfabrication of the particle, silicon pocket, and superconducting materials
Learning to operate a dilution refrigerator
Job Requirements
Bachelor's or master's in physics, Applied Physics, Precise Instrumentation, or related fields
Past experience in the job activities listed above is preferred, but a strong willingness to learn is sufficient.
Trainings will be provided.
Strong motivation for multidisciplinary research
Prior experience in superconductivity and / or quantum sensing is highly preferred
Ability to work as a team and communicate effectively
