Our facilities include state-of-the art infrastructures for microwave/THz device characterization and fabrication (Kollberg and Nanofabrication Laboratories) to support our research and education.

One of our main research directions is on microwave power amplifiers, whose energy consumption, linearity, and heat dissipation often dictate the entire wireless system design.
When operated as part of an active antenna system (e.g. massive MIMO, phased array etc), the power amplifiers are influenced by scanning dependent crosstalk and heat exchange, leading to severe overall performance degradation if not addressed.

Major responsibilities
The goal of this postdoc project is to investigate innovative power amplifier architectures, designed to mitigate the influence of the active antenna environment while maximizing energy efficiency under given in-the-air spectrum and signal constraints. You will realize the circuits in state-of-the-art CMOS technology and characterize their behavior under realistic operating conditions in Chalmers’ labs.

You will work in a team of PhD students and senior university and industrial researchers working both with digital- and analog circuit building blocks. Most of your time will be available for your own research but will also involve the supervision of PhD and MSc thesis students within the research team.

The project will be carried out in close collaboration between Chalmers and Sivers Semiconductors.

Your major responsibility as postdoc is to perform your own research in a research group. The position may also include supervising master’s and/or PhD students to a certain extent. Another important aspect involves collaboration within academia and with society at large. The position is meritorious for future research duties within academia as well as industry/the public sector.

Qualifications
To qualify, you should hold a doctoral degree, generally not older than three years, in microwave or radio frequency electronics, integrated circuit design, or other related disciplines. Documented experience in power amplifier research is required. Experience in the design of integrated circuits in the Cadence design environment is meritorious.
The successful candidate will have an outstanding academic track record and have published first-authored papers in internationally recognized peer-reviewed journals. Important qualities are enthusiasm, being able to drive and conclude projects independently, taking own initiatives and discussing/develop own ideas, being creative and having a problem-solving ability. The project is in collaboration with other researchers and industry and thus cooperation and social abilities are highly important. Good communication skills in English are necessary as English is the primary language in our laboratory.

To qualify for the position of postdoc, you must hold a doctoral degree awarded no more than three years prior to the application deadline (according to the current agreement with the Swedish Agency for Government Employers).
The position requires sound verbal and written communication skills in English. Swedish is not a requirement but Chalmers offers Swedish courses.

You are expected to be somewhat accustomed to teaching, and to demonstrate good potential within research and education.

Contract terms

Project description
The successful candidate will join our experimental team in advancing our capabilities on quantum information processing of superconducting bosonic modes, also called continuous-variables systems. Compared to two-level superconducting qubits, the bosonic architectures may bring advantages such as longer coherence times, resource-efficient quantum error correction, and well-understood loss channels. Our group recently demonstrated the preparation, manipulation, and tomography of a logical qubit encoded in a highly coherent bosonic mode. Now we plan to exploit the high dimensionality of the bosonic mode Hilbert space to (i) implement quantum error correction protocols and (ii) extend our platform to multiple cavities to demonstrate a verifiable quantum speed up advantage. You will be part of a larger team of researchers and PhD students driving our research on bosonic modes. The designs, workflows, fabrication processes, measurement techniques are closely related to those of traditional superconducting qubits. Hence, we work in close collaboration with the core effort within the WACQT center to build a large-scale quantum computer.

In our group, the 202Q-lab, we use superconducting circuits to pursue fundamental and applied research. Our main directions include quantum computing with bosonic modes, quantum thermodynamics, and quantum-enabling technologies. Our research is funded by WACQT, the Swedish Research Council, the European Research Council (ERC), and the European Innovation Council (EIC).

Major responsibilities
You will perform experimental research, both individually and as part of our team, in the field of bosonic quantum information processing with superconducting circuits. Depending on your background and interests, you may contribute to aspects such as the following:

• conceive and design novel quantum devices;
• execute microwave measurements with nearly quantum-limited noise performance;
• work on customized solutions to control bosonic modes;
• work on scalability aspects of bosonic platforms;
• perform material studies and develop nanofabrication processes to advance the state of the art in qubit lifetime and coherence;
• fabricate superconducting device for your own project as well as for other teams in our group.

In doing so, you will take advantage of the extensive infrastructure and expertise available in our team and division. Your research will benefit from regular interactions with our theory collaborators based in neighboring divisions as well as in other institutions in Sweden and abroad.

Qualifications
You hold a MSc degree in Physics, Engineering Physics, or Applied Physics, or you plan to defend your MSc thesis before Feb 1, 2024. You have a strong interest in at least two of the following: experimental realizations of quantum processors, quantum information science, quantum optics, superconducting devices, microwave engineering, nanofabrication.

We invite applications for a postdoctoral research position at Chalmers University of Technology in the evolving field of cellular nanomotion research. The position emphasizes hands-on experience with advanced optical manipulation techniques and offers a genuine opportunity to influence the direction of ongoing research. By joining our team, you’ll contribute to a deeper understanding of cellular dynamics, which holds potential for practical applications in medicine and drug development.

Information about the department and division
At the Department of Physics, within the Division of Nano and Biophysics, our primary mission is to deeply explore the physics that governs nanoscopic and biomolecular structures. We aim to understand their interactions with various external stimuli, including electrons, neutrons, and photons. With its interdisciplinary approach, our research frequently intersects with practical applications, particularly in drug development and medicine.

Information about the research
Cellular nanomotions refer to the nanoscale vibrations generated by single cells because of their internal processes, including metabolic activity, cytoskeletal rearrangements, and interactions with other cells or the substrate. These nanomotions have demonstrated a strong correlation with cell viability and overall cellular health. As a result, they hold significant potential for the development of novel diagnostic tools, personalized treatments, and therapies targeting cellular process abnormalities.

However, progress in the field of cellular nanomotion research is impeded by the absence of detection techniques that offer sufficient resolution, sensitivity, and speed. This limitation has created a knowledge gap regarding the underlying mechanisms and origins of cellular nanomotion and their relationship with specific pathologies. To advance our understanding in this area, it is crucial to develop detection methods that can accurately capture and analyze the nanomotions with high precision, sensitivity, and temporal resolution.

The objective of this project is to improve our capacity to detect cellular nanomotions by utilizing optically driven nanomotors as nanosensors. Through the detection and analysis of nanoscale movements within cells, we aim to obtain valuable insights into fundamental cellular processes, including cell metabolism and division, enhance our understanding of cellular dynamics, mechanical properties of cellular membranes and contribute to advancements in the field of biophysical research.

We are looking for a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher to join our ongoing research efforts in experimental quantum information science using superconducting circuits. The position is available immediately, with a flexible start date. We will start reviewing applications on October 15, 2023 and continue until the position is filled.

Project description
The successful candidate will join our experimental team in advancing our capabilities on quantum information processing of superconducting bosonic modes, also called continuous-variables systems. Compared to two-level superconducting qubits, the bosonic architectures may bring advantages such as longer coherence times, resource-efficient quantum error correction, and well-understood loss channels. Our group recently demonstrated the preparation, manipulation, and tomography of a logical qubit encoded in a highly coherent bosonic mode. Now we plan to exploit the high dimensionality of the bosonic mode Hilbert space to (i) implement quantum error correction protocols and (ii) extend our platform to multiple cavities to demonstrate a verifiable quantum speed up advantage. You will be part of a larger team of researchers and PhD students driving our research on bosonic modes. Alternative projects within the scope of quantum thermodynamics and quantum-enabling technologies can also be discussed. The designs, workflows, fabrication processes, measurement techniques are closely related to those of traditional superconducting qubits. Hence, we work in close collaboration with the core effort within the WACQT center to build a large-scale quantum computer.

Information about the division and the department
At the Quantum Technology division of the Microtechnology and Nanoscience (MC-2) department, we pursue state-of-the art research in quantum information science, microwave quantum optics, and mechanical quantum devices. We are also part of the Wallenberg Centre for Quantum Technology (WACQT), a 12-year initiative to advance Swedish academia and industry to the forefront of quantum technology, and to build a Swedish quantum computer.

In our group, the 202Q-lab, we use superconducting circuits to pursue fundamental and applied research. Our main directions include quantum computing with bosonic modes, quantum thermodynamics, and quantum-enabling technologies. Our research is funded by WACQT, the Swedish Research Council, the European Research Council (ERC), and the European Innovation Council (EIC).

Major responsibilities
You will perform experimental research, both individually and as part of our team, in the field of bosonic quantum information processing with superconducting circuits. Depending on your background and interests, you may contribute to aspects such as the following:

• conceive and design novel quantum devices;
• execute microwave measurements with nearly quantum-limited noise performance;
• work on customized solutions to control bosonic modes;
• work on scalability aspects of bosonic platforms;
• perform material studies and develop nanofabrication processes to advance the state of the art in qubit lifetime and coherence;
• fabricate superconducting devices for your own project as well as for other teams in our group;
• contribute with your fabrication expertise as a senior member of our fabrication team.

In doing so, you will take advantage of the extensive infrastructure and expertise available in our team and division. Your research will benefit from regular interactions with our theory collaborators based in neighboring divisions as well as in other institutions in Sweden and abroad. As a postdoc we expect you to contribute to the informal supervision of graduate students.

Qualifications
You hold a PhD degree in Physics, Engineering Physics, or Applied Physics, or you plan to defend your PhD thesis soon, ideally before Jan 1, 2024. You have a strong interest in at least two of the following: experimental realizations of quantum processors, quantum information science, quantum optics, superconducting devices, microwave engineering, nanofabrication. You see yourself as pursuing a career in research & development or education, either in academia, or in industry. You are driven by scientific curiosity and by a desire to make a difference. You can confidently read, write, and discuss science in English. We will consider outstanding candidates with a proven track record in any field of physics, engineering physics, nanotechnology. Previous experience in nanofabrication, especially of superconducting circuits or mesoscopic electronic devices, will be regarded as an asset. Acquaintance with experimental condensed-matter physics, atomic, molecular, and optical (AMO) physics, microwave measurements, and quantum optics is also appreciated.

Contract terms
This postdoc position is a full-time temporary employment for two years, with a potential extension of two more years.

Once you have successfully synthesized these polymers, you will collaborate with Ph.D. students in the Giovannitti group and national and international collaborators to test their performance for electrochemical synthesis. Next to preparing polymeric electrode materials, you will be responsible for implementing online monitoring analytical tools (LCMS/analytical HPLC) to optimize the product formation of your electrocatalyst using electrochemical reactors. Next to leading your own research project, you will support master and Ph.D. students in the laboratory. Research visits to national and international research groups and facilities are encouraged to learn from experts in the field and allow you to get access to advanced characterization setups such as the synchrotron to characterize your new materials.

Major responsibilities
The postdoc is responsible for the design and synthesis of polymeric organic semiconductors, purification, and chemical characterization of the synthesized materials. The postdoc will work independently on research projects and co-supervise Master and Ph.D. students (including project planning, supervision in the lab, training, and writing research papers).

Qualifications
To qualify for the position of postdoc, you must hold a doctoral degree in Chemistry, Physics, Materials Science, or equivalent awarded no more than three years prior to the application deadline (according to the current agreement with the Swedish Agency for Government Employers).

Experience with synthesizing organic molecules and π-conjugated polymers is required. Expertise and knowledge in electrochemistry or organic electronics are beneficial but not mandatory.

Looking for a unique and collaborative endeavor at the cutting edge of photonics and quantum engineering? Read on!

Our goal at Chalmers is to build a useful quantum computer. The complexity of today’s quantum processors must be increased to help fields like chemistry and medicine. We are forming a new interdisciplinary team to understand and increase the power of quantum technology.

Information about the project and the environment
The positions are in the brand-new Quantum Photonics Laboratory (QPL). We are scientists, applied physicists, and engineers. We explore the flow of and interactions between light, sound, and microwaves.

Today’s demand for computing and connectivity is on a steep trajectory. There is no reliable path to a sustainable growth in our capabilities to compute and connect. A key issue is the excessive energy loss caused by communication. In classical datacenters and computers, this energy loss leads to heating and greenhouse gas emissions. In emerging quantum processors, the energy loss prevents scaling up small quantum devices into more powerful distributed systems. We believe using light for communication is our only hope for solving this. To do so, we must convert microwave signals onto light. We are developing new hardware to this end. Read more on our webpage and in this popular science article.

This project is part of the Wallenberg Centre for Quantum Technology (WACQT), a 12-year, billion-SEK initiative with the purpose of advancing Swedish academia and industry to the forefront of quantum technology, and to build a Swedish quantum computer. We are members of the Quantum Technology division in the Department of Microtechnology and Nanoscience (MC2). We work with the experimentalists in the Photonics division and the theorists at the Applied Quantum Physics division. Our department hosts the state-of-the-art MC2 Nanofabrication Laboratory cleanroom, the largest such facility in Northern Europe. We have cutting-edge cryogenic, microwave and optical measurement capabilities.

Major responsibilities
As a PhD student, your main task is to lead and conduct research in collaboration with others. You will be expected to help develop your skills, the team, and contribute with your creative ideas. We value a collaborative attitude and an interest in working both independently and collaboratively in a team environment, sharing best practices and assuming responsibility. Self-motivation, attention to detail, and a problem-solving ability are important personal qualities for these positions.

Qualifications
We welcome motivated candidates who love to learn from any field. Experience with either quantum engineering, photonics, nanofabrication, nanomechanics, cryogenics or superconductivity is a plus. To qualify for these positions you need a Master’s degree in Physics, Chemistry, Photonics, Nanotechnology, Applied Physics, Electrical Engineering, or equivalent by the starting date at the latest. Candidates holding a Bachelor’s degree may qualify in certain cases. You need to be fluent in spoken and written English. Please contact us if you are unsure about applying!

We offer
Full-time temporary employment. The position is for at least 4 years with opportunities to extend to 5 years. Your starting date is negotiable. We offer a competitive salary and excellent working conditions.

Chalmers aims to actively improve its gender balance. Equality and diversity are substantial foundations in all activities at Chalmers. We work broadly with equality projects, for example the GENIE Initiative on gender equality for excellence.

Chalmers offers a cultivating and inspiring working environment in the coastal city of Gothenburg. 
Read more about working at Chalmers and our benefits for employees.

This could be the perfect start for your career, whether in academic research, in a start-up company that may be formed around your own ideas, or in booming fields like photonics and quantum technology.

Are you interested in the environmental sustainability of business, decoupling, circular economy, and methods for environmental systems analysis? Then, this 3-year postdoc position could be for you.

About the research
Business Model LCA (BM-LCA) is a new type of life cycle assessment methodology especially tailored for the environmental assessment of business models (c.f., Baumann et al 2022, Böckin et al 2022, Goffetti et al 2022). Its relevance comes to the fore in relation to circular economy efforts, which has sparked much interest in sustainable business models (rental, sharing, subscription, sufficiency models, etc). With BM-LCA it becomes possible to analyse, and/or validate the environmental performance of these business models. Also, BMLCA enables analysis for decoupling in a business context and can support sustainable business model innovation. From this follows two lines of research: the sustainability of business models and the methodological development of BM-LCA.

As a postdoc, you will play a crucial role in developing the research field around BM-LCA and the analysis of the sustainability of business models at Environmental systems analysis at Chalmers. The research is conducted within the project TwinWins, funded by the Kamprad Family Foundation. In the project, we collaborate with companies in Sweden to analyse their sustainable business models and support their sustainable business model innovation. Furthermore, the project aims to systematise learnings from the application of BM-LCA and the results from the case studies. Wider dissemination to industry, other relevant stakeholders and within academia is also an important project goal to spread knowledge and skills for the environmental assessment of business models. For this, the project has partnered with the Swedish life cycle center. The project is a multidisciplinary collaboration between Luleå University of Technology and Chalmers University of Technology. The postdoc position is placed at Chalmers University of Technology.

Looking for a unique and collaborative endeavor at the cutting edge of photonics and quantum engineering? Read on!

Our goal at Chalmers is to build a useful quantum computer. The complexity of today’s quantum processors must be increased to help fields like chemistry and medicine. We are forming a new interdisciplinary team to understand and increase the power of quantum technology.

Information about the project and the environment
The positions are in the brand-new Quantum Photonics Laboratory (QPL). We are scientists, applied physicists, and engineers. We explore the flow of and interactions between light, sound, and microwaves.

Today’s demand for computing and connectivity is on a steep trajectory. There is no reliable path to a sustainable growth in our capabilities to compute and connect. A key issue is the excessive energy loss caused by communication. In classical datacenters and computers, this energy loss leads to heating and greenhouse gas emissions. In emerging quantum processors, the energy loss prevents scaling up small quantum devices into more powerful distributed systems. We believe using light for communication is our only hope for solving this. To do so, we must convert microwave signals onto light. We are developing new hardware to this end. Read more on our webpage and in this popular science article.

This project is part of the Wallenberg Centre for Quantum Technology (WACQT), a 12-year, billion-SEK initiative with the purpose of advancing Swedish academia and industry to the forefront of quantum technology, and to build a Swedish quantum computer. We are members of the Quantum Technology division in the Department of Microtechnology and Nanoscience (MC2).

We have cutting-edge cryogenic, microwave and optical measurement capabilities.

Major responsibilities
As postdoctoral researcher, your main responsibilities are to lead and conduct research in collaboration with others, and to coach PhD students. You will be expected to help develop your skills, the team, and contribute with your creative ideas. We value a collaborative attitude and an interest in working both independently and collaboratively in a team environment, sharing best practices and assuming responsibility. Self-motivation, attention to detail, and a creative problem-solving ability are important personal qualities for these positions.

Qualifications
We welcome motivated candidates who love to learn from any field. Experience with either quantum engineering, photonics, nanofabrication, nanomechanics, cryogenics or superconductivity is nice to have.

Description
Molecular simulations allow researchers to study molecular processes in unprecedented detail. Molecular dynamics simulations have many uses, including drug discovery, materials science, and chemical reaction modeling. They can also be used to simulate biological systems such as proteins and nucleic acids. However, these simulations are computationally expensive, which limits their practical scope dramatically. In this project, the selected candidate will leverage generative AI to speed up simulations, to unlock the mechanisms of large molecular systems such as proteins.

Machine learning provides new exciting new opportunities in the natural sciences such as physics, chemistry, and biology. Its potential application areas span from designing new drugs against multi-resistant pathogens and understanding the impact of gene defects on a protein’s function to speeding up computer simulations to understand fundamental scientific phenomena and design optimal algorithms for near-term quantum computers. The path toward these applications can leverage the power of deep learning to represent and process high-dimensional data effectively and encode natural laws and symmetries.

To join our group, we seek a collaborative and self-driven candidate with experience in statistical mechanics, machine learning, or dynamical systems, preferably a combination, either via coursework or through completed projects (e.g., publications or software libraries).

The Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning for the Natural Sciences (AIMLeNS) group (head: Simon Olsson) is an interdisciplinary team of about ten researchers focusing on developing AI and ML systems to address outstanding challenges in the natural sciences. The recruited Ph.D. student will integrate into the AIMLeNS group. You can read more about the group at https://www.cse.chalmers.se/~simonols/

The selected Ph.D. student will lead the development of generative AI systems to speed up molecular simulations. The aim is to develop a system that enables large-scale protein simulation on long-time scales, with possible applications in molecular design and structural biology. The selected candidate will build upon the group’s recent work and enjoy the group’s open and collaborative environment (1,2,3).

We are looking for a highly motivated Postdoctoral researcher to be part of our experimental research on 2D topological quantum materials heterostructure devices at Quantum Device Physics Laboratory at Chalmers University of Technology, in Gothenburg, Sweden. The aim of this project is to exploit the electronic, quantum and spin transport properties in nanoscale devices using 2D materials heterostructure with twist angle control.

Project description
2D quantum materials device research in Saroj Dash’s group at Chalmers aims to engineer correlated electronic states in twisted 2D van der Waals heterostructures to realize novel device functionalities. Our group develops novel approaches for nanofabrication and design new measurement techniques that lead to fundamental physics experiments and practical applications. This experimental research consists of the preparation of 2D materials heterostructure with twist angle control, device fabrication in “state of the art” cleanroom, and sensitive electronic, spin and quantum transport measurements. In addition to investigating novel correlated quantum physics, we will also study magnetism and spin dynamics in the nanoscale devices. These studies aim for a better understanding and control of the electronic transport phenomenon in these novel 2D electronic materials heterostructures and can pave the way for future generations of information technology, which can be smaller, faster, more sensitive and energy-efficient for a sustainable society.

This research is well supported by excellent nanofabrication and characterization facility available at the department. The department houses a 1240 m2 of cleanroom space with state-of-the-art research equipment providing a broad platform for the development and testing of new ideas in nanoscience.
