Applications are invited from suitably qualified candidates with strong skills and relevant experience for a postdoctoral research fellowship on the EPSRC-funded EXPRESS Programme Grant, ’Exploiting Single Source Precursors for the Electrochemical Growth of Functional 1D and 2D Metal Dichalcogenide Semiconductors’. EXPRESS is a flagship, interdisciplinary 5-year research programme led jointly by the Universities of Southampton and Warwick, bringing together internationally leading teams from across chemistry, physics and electronic engineering.  The Programme aims to deliver a step-change in the understanding and control of electrochemical growth of functional TMDC semiconductors, combining precursor design and synthesis, electrochemistry, theory, advanced characterisation and device integration. In addition to the essential disciplinary research skills, candidates should demonstrate genuine enthusiasm for collaborative working, the ability to communicate effectively across disciplines, and well-developed organisational skills. This position is primarily concerned with the electrodeposition of transition metal dichalcogenides. The successful candidate will work within the electrochemistry team led by Phil Bartlett in the School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering at the University of Southampton, and will be required to be flexible and interact effectively with colleagues across the wider EXPRESS consortium to fulfil the scientific goals of the Programme.  The position is offered for until 05/07/2028 in the first instance, with the possibility of extension for up to 3 further years. Please upload a CV and cover letter, detailing how you skills and experience match the requirements of the role, with your application.

Aalto University is where science and art meet technology and business. We shape a sustainable future by making research breakthroughs in and across our disciplines, sparking the game changers of tomorrow and creating novel solutions to major global challenges. Our community is made up of 120 nationalities, 16 000 students, 400 professors and close to 5000 faculty and staff working on our dynamic campus in Espoo, Greater Helsinki, Finland. Diversity is part of who we are, and we actively work to ensure our community’s diversity and inclusiveness. This is why we warmly encourage qualified candidates from all backgrounds to join our community. At the Department of Applied Physics, our pioneering research in physical sciences creates important industrial applications that hold great technological potential. Our research focuses on Materials physics, Quantum technology, Soft & living matter, and Advanced energy solutions. Topics extend from fundamental research to important applications. We educate future generations of research and development professionals, data specialists, technology experts, inventors, and scientists for industry and society. Role and research opportunity We are now looking for a Postdoctoral Researcher in theory to join the Quantum Computing and Devices (QCD) group at Aalto University. This position is aimed at an outstanding researcher in circuit quantum electrodynamics (cQED) who wants to help shape the next generation of superconducting quantum technology. The role is a natural continuation of a successful line of quantum-circuit theorists in the group and is now open as we recruit a successor to a departing circuit-theory researcher. We are especially interested in candidates with strong experience in the theory of cQED circuits and a demonstrated ability to translate theory into experimentally useful design principles, models, or analysis. Expertise in open quantum systems is considered as a strong advantage. Your network and team QCD is one of Europe’s strongest academic environments in superconducting quantum circuits, combining theory, computation, device design, nanofabrication, cryogenic measurements, and entrepreneurship in one closely connected group. Our recent work spans high-coherence transmons, ultrasensitive thermal detectors for qubit readout, cryogenic microwave-photon measurements, tunable dissipation, and new concepts for autonomous quantum processors. You will work in close interaction with experimental researchers, cleanroom experts, and collaborators at VTT and beyond. Similar theory positions in the group have led to careers as professor, long-term quantum-hardware roles in industry, and new spinouts! The QCD group and its wider alumni network have also contributed to Finland’s quantum startup ecosystem, including IQM, QMill, Quanscient, and Arctic Instruments. Your responsibilities Develop theoretical models for superconducting quantum circuits, especially cQED devices relevant to control, readout, reset, filtering, tunable coupling, and low-temperature feedback. Analyse loss, noise, and decoherence mechanisms and connect theory with measured data. Contribute to new concepts at the interface of circuit theory, open quantum systems, and quantum control. Work closely with experimental researchers to guide device design, interpret results, and identify the most promising next steps. Publish high-impact research, help supervise students, and contribute to the scientific direction of the group. What we are looking for PhD in theoretical and computational quantum physics, quantum engineering, or a closely related field. Strong track record in cQED, superconducting circuits, quantum optics, or a nearby area. Excellent command of quantum-circuit theory, effective models, analytical and/or numerical methods, and scientific programming. Experience in open quantum systems, dissipative dynamics, or noise theory is highly valued. Ability to collaborate productively with experimentalists and communicate ideas clearly in English. Evidence of scientific independence, ambition, and publication quality appropriate to career stage. What we offer A full-time fixed-term postdoctoral appointment, typically up to three years on the first contract. The start date is 1 September or as agreed. The salary range for this position is approximately 4229–4649 €/month. A leading research environment with state-of-the-art infrastructure. The opportunity to work on theory that can directly influence experiments and technology development. Strong mentoring together with room for intellectual independence and your own ideas. A vibrant environment in the wider Finnish quantum ecosystem and in the Aalto–VTT–InstituteQ network. Excellent career-development prospects in academia and quantum industry.
