About this position

Aalto University is advertising a Postdoctoral Researcher position in experimental circuit QED within the Kvantti group at the Department of Applied Physics. The research focuses on superconducting quantum circuits, including superconducting qubits and resonators, with applications in quantum computing, quantum simulation, and quantum sensing.

The group’s current projects include axion detection using superconducting qubits, control of quantum computers using microwave and optical signals, and continuous-variable quantum information processing and sensing using parametric amplifiers. The role is embedded in a vibrant international team and offers opportunities to collaborate with industrial partners and academic groups in quantum technologies.

Eligibility highlights: applicants should hold or soon expect a PhD in physics, electrical engineering, or computer science. Preferred experience includes superconducting device design/fabrication, cryogenic measurements, microwave electronics, numerical simulations, quantum control, and data analysis. Candidates from nearby areas such as quantum optics, trapped atoms/ions, nanoelectronics, NV centers, or quantum materials may also be considered if they show strong motivation to move into this field.

Funding and conditions: the appointment is a fixed-term contract for two years. Salary starts at about 4229 €/month and may rise to 4649 €/month depending on experience. The contract includes occupational healthcare. The primary workplace is the Otaniemi Campus at Aalto University in Finland.

How to apply: submit one PDF in English through Aalto University’s online recruitment system via the “Apply Now” link. Include a motivation letter, CV with skills/experience and publications, degree certificates and transcripts, and contact details for at least two referees (or recommendation letters if available). Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis, and the position remains open until filled.

Deadline: 2026-09-30.
