Job summary

A*STAR RESEARCH ENTITIES in Singapore invites applications for a research scientist to advance optical quantum memory platforms using rare-earth-ion–doped crystals, focused on quantum transduction. The role encompasses design, simulation, nanofabrication, cryogenic setup operation, and systematic microwave spectroscopy to extract spin linewidths, coherence times and storage lifetimes.

The appointment is offered for an initial three-year term with potential extension to five years based on

Qualifications

PhD in Physics, Applied Physics, Quantum Science, Electrical Engineering or a closely related discipline.
Strong experimental background in cryogenic microwave spectroscopy.
Demonstrated experience with quantum transduction protocols.
Candidates with prior experience in rare-earth-ion spectroscopy, microwave coherence control, or solid-state quantum memories will be strongly preferred.
Programming language (Matlab and Python)

Responsibilities

Design and simulation of superconducting devices (Ansys HFSS, Qiskit Metal, Onshape CAD).
Nanofabrication of superconducting devices.
Operate, maintain, and modify set up for quantum transduction experimental platforms, including tunable RF sources, VNA, RF LNAs, cryogenic setups, and magnetic-field control.
Conduct systematic microwave spectroscopy and coherence characterisation, extracting key performance metrics such as spin linewidths, coherence times, and storage lifetimes.
Contribute to technical reports, manuscripts, and project documentation.
