Are you excited about pioneering experimental quantum computing? Do you want to be part of a world-class research environment developing the next generation of superconducting quantum processors? We are seeking a research specialist to join our ambitious team at the Wallenberg Centre for Quantum Technology (WACQT).

We invite applications for a research specialist position in experimental quantum computing with superconducting circuits. You will work in the stimulating research environment of the Wallenberg Centre for Quantum Technology (WACQT). The core project of the centre is to build a quantum computer based on superconducting circuits. You will be part of the Quantum Computing Group within the Quantum Technology Laboratory (QTL) at the Department of Microtechnology and Nanoscience (MC2) department, working in a large team of PhDs, postdocs and researchers.

The Research Specialist position is a research support role, focused on assisting research activities through method and/or instrument development.

We are seeking a motivated researcher to contribute to building the next generation of superconducting quantum processors. To achieve this ambitious goal, we focus on several key areas:

• Simulation, design and characterization of quantum processors
• Development and optimization of nano-fabrication processes for large-scale devices
