Position Description: |
The Physics Division at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) announces a search for theoretical and experimental postdoctoral positions in our new Quantum Information Science and Microelectronics programs. We pursue the development of novel sensing concepts and technology for future experiments searching for new fundamental physics like dark matter and exotic gravitational phenomena. The development involves both theoretical and experimental multidisciplinary work, including collaborations with scientists in other LBNL divisions and other institutions. Our current and planned work includes sensing of quasiparticles with sub-eV threshold and zero dark counts in crystals, liquid He, and new nano or quantum materials; single photon sensitive imagers with timing and spectral information; opto-mechanical sensing beyond the standard quantum limit; and concepts at the interface of sensing and qubit technology. We also engage in theoretical work to understand the quantum information properties of new physics signals and ways to leverage this for new experiments.
Hires under this posting would be appointed for 2 years, with the possibility of renewal for up to 3 additional years based upon satisfactory job performance, continuing availability of funds, and ongoing operational needs. Appointments may start during the 2021 calendar year. Berkeley Lab is committed to Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Accountability (IDEA - https://diversity.lbl.gov/) and strives to hire individuals who share these same values and commitments. We encourage applications from women, minorities, veterans, and other underrepresented groups presently considering scientific research careers.
