Postdoc: Macroscopic Quantum Torsional Resonators

Delft University of Technology (TU Delft); Delft; On-site; EUR 42,000 - 52,000; Full time

Job summary

Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) invites applications for a PhD position in the Steele Lab, Quantum Nanoscience Department, to design, fabricate and measure nanomechanical resonators coupled to superconducting circuits.

The project aims to explore the quantum behaviour of heavy objects, building on flux‑coupling concepts, with access to Kavli Nanolab in Delft and opportunities for advanced nanofabrication and quantum measurements.

Qualifications

• A PhD degree in physics
• A PhD degree in electrical or mechanical engineering could also be suitable if strongly motivated by experience with quantum mechanics or nanomechanics

Responsibilities

• Design, fabricate, and measure nanomechanical resonators coupled to superconducting quantum circuits to explore the quantum behaviour of heavy objects.
• Work with a team funded by an ERC Advanced proposal and collaborate with local and international colleagues in experimental and theoretical fields.

Education

PhD in physics

PhD in electrical or mechanical engineering
