About this position
QUP at KEK is recruiting several postdoctoral fellows in experimental physics to work on research at the weak-coupling frontier. The group’s mission is to probe new quantum fields and forces and to search for phenomena such as light dark matter, axions, and gravitational waves using cutting-edge quantum sensors and devices.
Successful fellows will join QUP experimental projects with the principal investigators and contribute to the center’s broader effort to develop new research directions. The advertised themes span a wide range of quantum and particle-physics experiments, including high-precision spectroscopy of muonic atoms and molecules, nitrogen-vacancy center experiments in diamond, superconducting-qubit approaches to dark-matter searches, underground searches for low-mass dark matter at the Cryolab facility in Kamioka, antimatter-gravity studies using advanced quantum techniques, superconducting-cavity development for gravitational-wave searches, sensitive superconducting sensor systems, and radiation-hard semiconductor detector R&D.
QUP is an international World Premier International Research Center hosted by KEK, with related activity connected to satellite laboratories and a strongly collaborative research environment. The center emphasizes interdisciplinary work linking quantum technologies with particle and fundamental physics, materials science, and other application areas.
The post is offered on an annual contract basis and is renewable subject to progress and funding, with a maximum term of three years; exceptionally qualified candidates may be appointed as Assistant Professor for the same duration.
