PhD fellow in Crystal Growth and Characterization of Hybrid Quantum Materials at the Niels Bohr Institute (University of Copenhagen Niels Bohr Institute)

Center for Quantum devices, Niels Bohr Institute, Faculty of Science at University of Copenhagen is offering a PhD scholarship in fabrication and characterization of hybrid quantum materials commencing 01.10.2019 or as soon as possible thereafter. Description of the scientific environment The Center for Quantum Devices at the Niels Bohr Institute, University of Copenhagen, is a basic research center comprising materials research, experimental physics, nanoelectronics and condensed matter theory. The full research program for the center of excellence can be found on the QDev homepage here: http://qdev.dk/. Microsoft Quantum Copenhagen is a research center sponsored by Microsoft Research aimed at developing topological quantum information processing hardware. Information about Microsoft Quantum can be found at microsoft.com/en-us/quantum/. Project description We announce the opening of a Ph.D. position to develop novel hybrid materials for quantum transport electronic structures. The project work will involve bottom-up nano-structured crystal growth by Molecular Beam Epitaxy, structural and electronic characterization, with the overall goal of developing functional quantum materials for quantum information technologies. The position is part of the Microsoft Quantum Initiative. Principal supervisor is Prof, Peter Krogstrup, Niels Bohr Institute, krogstrup@nbi.dk. Job description The position is available for a 3-year period and your key tasks as a PhD student at SCIENCE are: To manage and carry through your research project Attend PhD courses Write scientific articles and your PhD thesis Teach and disseminate your research To stay at an external research institution for a few months, preferably abroad Work for the department Formal requirements Applicants should hold an MSc degree in Physics with good results and good English skills.
