About the position

The Center for Integrated Nanotechnologies (CINT) at Sandia National Laboratories is seeking a motivated Postdoctoral Appointee with a strong background in the fabrication, characterization, and measurement of superconducting electronics and devices. This position is primarily experimental, focusing on the development of quantum hardware, including superconducting qubits, resonators, couplers, and cryogenic amplifiers, which are essential for advancing quantum information science. The successful candidate will engage in a variety of tasks that include designing and fabricating nanoscale quantum devices, characterizing and operating superconducting electronic devices at cryogenic temperatures, troubleshooting and optimizing hybrid quantum devices, and collaborating with a diverse team of experimentalists and theorists in the field of quantum information science. The role requires a hands-on approach to research, where the appointee will be expected to work onsite due to the nature of the experimental work involved. The CINT is a Department of Energy-funded facility that provides access to state-of-the-art expertise and instrumentation, fostering a collaborative and multidisciplinary environment. The Quantum Materials Systems (QMS) thrust at CINT focuses on understanding and controlling quantum effects in nanoscale materials and their integration into systems across multiple length scales. The team is equipped with advanced capabilities in synthesis, fabrication, characterization, and modeling of quantum materials, devices, and computing systems, supported by extensive modeling capabilities at both CINT and the host lab.
