Postdoctoral Researcher in Theory of Superconducting Quantum Simulations The University of Oulu in Northern Finland, with approximately 16,000 students and 3,000 employees, is an international, multidisciplinary research university with a rich pool of creative and intellectual talent. The strengths of the University include broad, multidisciplinary research interests, a modern research and study environment, and wide cooperation with international research and educational institutes. Work description The Nano and Molecular Systems Research Unit (NANOMO) at the University of Oulu, Finland, is opening a two-year full-time postdoctoral researcher position. We are looking for a talented research-oriented person interested in theoretical and computational research on quantum simulations in the context of superconducting circuits. The research profile of the successful candidate should complement the focus of the theoretical & computational physics groups at the NANOMO unit. The research focus of the postdoctoral researcher will be in the focal point of condensed matter physics, open quantum systems, quantum devices and quantum information, especially in localization, dissipation and phase transition phenomena. The present position is in the Academy of Finland research project of “Localization and dissipation in superconducting quantum simulations” led by Academy of Finland Research Fellow Matti Silveri. The postdoctoral researcher will carry out research work within a research team, publish research results in leading international scientific journals, take part in funding acquisition, contribute in teaching (5 % of the total yearly working hours) and supervision. In addition, the postdoctoral research may participate in administrative tasks of the research unit. Qualifications The position is to be filled by a highly motivated applicant. Successful candidate must have obtained doctorate degree in physics or in a closely related field within the last 10 years but latest by the start of the contract. In addition, we appreciate
The position requires spoken and written fluency in English. Terms of employment The duration of the position is two years beginning on August 1, 2020 or as soon as possible thereafter. A four-month trial period will be applied to the position. The salary will be set at levels 5-6 of the national salary scale for the teaching and research personnel of Finnish universities. In addition, based on personal work performance, up to 50% of the job demands level can be paid. In practice, the starting salary of a new postdoctoral researcher is approximately 3400-3600 € per month depending on personal achievement and performance.
