Postdoctoral Position Sweden 2010 - The position is in the Quantum Device Physics Laboratory, MC2 at Chalmers. The project will be carried out by the prospective applicant, along with several experimental PhD students. This team will also be supported by senior researchers and professors working on the project, including both experimentalists and theoreticians. The work will take place in a strong research environment at Chalmers, supported by the Linnaeus Center of Excellence for Engineered Quantum Systems and the new Chalmers Nanotechnology Center.

The position is available to start immediately. The actually starting time is negotiable. The project has long term funding, renewable for up to 4-5 years. However, standard postdoc contracts at Chalmers are for 1 year at a time. We will start to interview qualified applicants after January 18, 2010.  A candidate maybe chosen at anytime after that, but applications will be accepted until the position is filled.
Goals for the project include:

• A superconducting cavity with tunable Q-value
• An on-demand single photon source
• A number resolving single-photon click-detector
• A single photon router A single photon sluice

The successful applicant should have (or be nearing completion of) a PhD in a field of condensed matter physics. Candidates should have experience in at least some of the following areas: quantum mechanics, superconductivity, quantum optics, mesoscopic physics, nanofabrication, cryogenics, microwave technology. Fluency in written and spoken English is also a requirement. Application Deadline is 1 June 2010 and for detail at chalmers.se
