Job Description

Role and research opportunity

A Postdoctoral Researcher in theory for the Quantum Computing and Devices (QCD) group at Aalto University. The position targets researchers in circuit quantum electrodynamics (cQED) wishing to shape the next generation of superconducting quantum technology. The successful candidate will be a successor to a departing circuit‑theory researcher, with strong experience in the theory of cQED circuits, ability to translate theory into experimentally useful designs, models, or analyses, and, ideally, expertise in open quantum systems.

Your network and team

The QCD group is one of Europe’s strongest academic environments in superconducting quantum circuits, combining theory, computation, device design, nanofabrication, cryogenic measurements, and entrepreneurship. Recent work includes high‑coherence transmons, ultrasensitive thermal detectors for qubit readout, cryogenic microwave‑photon measurements, tunable dissipation, and new ...
