The University of Siegen is a modern university with an international orientation and a focus on interdisciplinary research. It currently has around 15,000 students and covers a range of research fields from the humanities, social and economic sciences to natural sciences, engineering, and life sciences. With over 2,000 employees, the university is one of the largest employers in the region and offers a unique environment for teaching, study, research, and knowledge transfer.

We seek:

At the Chair of Quantum Optics, we have developed groundbreaking methods to control trapped ions using high-frequency radiation and use them as an elementary switching unit (a qubit) in a quantum computer. We research and develop this system and thus prepare the basis for novel types of scalable quantum computers.

In the Faculty IV: School of Science and Technology, Experimental Quantum Optics, we are looking for a researcher as soon as possible under the following conditions:

• 100% = 39.83 hours
• Pay grade 13 TV-L
• Limited duration of 2 years

Your research activities will focus on novel approaches and methods for quantum computers with trapped ions. Your tasks include:

• Responsible planning, simulation, and construction of innovative experimental apparatuses
• Preparing and carrying out experiments with trapped ions, data analysis, and publishing scientific results
• Guidance of other scientists in the team
• Cooperation with national and international research partners and third-party funding agencies

Your profile:

• University degree in physics
• Doctorate in physics
• Sound knowledge of quantum mechanics
• High interest, exceptional commitment, initiative, and strong ability to work in an interdisciplinary team are essential
• International publications and participation in academic exchange (conferences, reviews, research reports, etc.)
• Experience in areas such as experimental quantum optics with atoms, molecules, or solid-state systems, quantum information processing, laser spectroscopy and cooling, microwave technology, laser technology, optics, vacuum technology, control electronics, and computer control of experiments is desired
• Very good knowledge of English

Our range of services:

• Promotion of scientific or artistic qualification according to the Wissenschaftszeitvertragsgesetz (e.g., habilitation)
• Close cooperation with technology-leading start-ups and other partners from science and industry, with networking in an emerging industry
• Diverse opportunities for responsibility and contribution in research and teaching
• A modern understanding of leadership and collaboration
• Good work-life balance, flexible working hours, and support with child care
• Health management with prevention and counseling services
