We are seeking two talented and motivated individuals to accelerate our efforts in developing advanced on-chip nanoscale superconducting single-photon detectors integrated with waveguide circuits. We aim to create advanced devices with near unity efficiency, suitable for the most demanding applications in quantum information processing. Our group is a partner in two major UK projects in this area, in collaboration with the University of Sheffield and the University of Bristol. The Quantum Sensors group is one of the leading groups worldwide in advanced infrared photon-counting detectors. At the University of Glasgow we have full access to one of the finest nanofabrication centres in Europe, the James Watt Nanofabrication Centre. Our laboratories include dedicated facilities for deposition of superconducting thin films, and advanced low temperature electrical and optical testing. Our group has strong links with leading laboratories in Europe, North America and Japan and we have an excellent track record supporting early stage researchers. Requirements: Applicants should hold, or should be close to completing a PhD in the area of nanoscience, electrical engineering, experimental physics or materials science. Desirable skills: We encourage applicants with any of the following skills: Thin film deposition, nanofabrication, modelling of optical devices, nano-optics, cryostat design, low temperature measurement, waveguide circuit design and characterization, experimental quantum optics. Informal Enquiries: applicants may contact Professor Robert Hadfield. Email: [email protected] ; Telephone +44 141 330 4929. This position has funding for up to 2 years in the first instance.
