About this position

RIKEN’s Center for Quantum Computing is recruiting a Senior Research Scientist, Research Scientist, or Postdoctoral Researcher for the Superconducting Quantum Electronics Research Team in Saitama, Japan.

The team works on superconducting quantum circuits for quantum information processing and aims to realize a quantum computer through larger-scale qubit integration, higher-fidelity control and readout, and longer qubit coherence. The role involves development of superconducting quantum computing systems and related experimental research.

Relevant study areas include physics, quantum electronics, quantum information science, condensed matter physics, electrical engineering, materials science, and computer science. Candidates with theoretical, engineering, or software backgrounds are also encouraged to apply.

Applicants should have a doctoral degree, or expect to obtain one by the date of hire. Senior Research Scientist and Research Scientist appointments are generally for candidates with a doctorate earned more than 5 years ago, while Postdoctoral Researcher appointments are generally for those who earned the doctorate within the past 5 years.
