Tharaka University

Tharaka University was originally established in 2015, as a subsidiary campus of Chuka University in the town of Gatunga, on the eastern slopes of Mount Kenya. In 2022, it was awarded its own university charter; it now has three campuses of its own. Its two subsidiary campuses are 30-60km from the main campus.
Tharaka University offers more than 50 undergraduate courses, delivered across seven faculties: education; humanities and social sciences; physical sciences, engineering and technology; business studies; law; life sciences and natural resources; and nursing and health sciences. 
The main campus houses six hostels, which can accommodate 800 – a fraction of the 15,000 students at the university. Recognising this shortfall, the university is building new hostels to house 1,200 additional students. And it works with private landlords to ensure that students are accommodated safely elsewhere.
Sports on offer range from football and rugby to basketball and taekwondo. A staff friendly tournament pits teams from different universities against one another in football, netball and volleyball. Students are also able to join religious societies, such as the Christian Union or Islamic Society.

This is why we warmly encourage qualified candidates from all backgrounds to join our community.

Aalto OtaNano is looking for a

Staﬀ Scientist for OtaNano Quantum-Computing Infrastructure

Are you an expert in cryogenics, microwave and ultra-low-temperature measurement techniques and qubit-based quantum technology and devices? Would you like to work in an inspiring, world-class research environment? We are committed to ambitiously building a better world and oﬀer you a chance to participate and contribute to realizing our vision as a member of our community.

OtaNano - Low Temperature Laboratory (LTL) in Aalto University, Finland, is looking for a Staﬀ Scientist to lead and manage the build-up, benchmarking and sustained operation of a quantum-computing infrastructure based on superconducting transmon qubits at cryogenic

temperatures. This is a role where you will have a signiﬁcant impact in creating a new world class research infrastructure from the beginning to a point where the operations are established. You will be working both in collaboration with the talented team of Staﬀ Scientists at OtaNano and in close collaboration with the researchers at the Department of Applied Physics.

The quantum computer hardware was built at Aalto University is part of the Finnish National Quantum-Computing Infrastructure project FiQCI (ﬁqci.ﬁ), where both Aalto and VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland Ltd. (vtt.ﬁ) host the hardware, while CSC - IT Centre for Science Ltd. (csc.ﬁ) manages classical supercomputers as gateways to quantum computers. Although the Aalto conﬁguration is primarily targeted to serve the academic research community, it will be integrated into the national quantum computing network.

OtaNano - Low Temperature Laboratory is a part of the National OtaNano Research Infrastructure in Finland. OtaNano includes state-of-the-art facilities for fabrication, characterization and measurement of nanostructures, materials and devices. The Low Temperature Laboratory, part of the infrastructure, serves more than 150 users annually by oﬀering various cryogenic installations and nanofabrication facilities. It is one of the world centers in ultralow temperature physics and technology. The leading position is based on vigorous in-house development and construction of

sub-mK refrigerators. For more information, please see https://www.aalto.fi/en/otanano.

During employment you are expected to lead the building of the infrastructure and its upgrades, establish its stable operation after relevant benchmarking, and supervise the connection and the scheduling of jobs from users. You will also train researchers in running quantum algorithms on the computer.

Your role

Your main role is to provide daily experimental and technical support for research groups to access the LTL facilities, and the quantum computer in particular.

Description

The Perception and Active Cognition Laboratory in the Center for Brain & Health, New York University Abu Dhabi, seeks to recruit a junior research scientist to work on the mechanisms underlying cognitive and perceptual Speed of Processing.

The successful applicant will drive a fascinating project on the interactions between sleep, circadian rhythms, stress and Speed of Processing, in both healthy participants and in patients with Multiple Sclerosis (and potentially other health and mental health conditions). The Research Scientist will ensure the successful acquisition and analysis of experimental data, including behavioral and neuroimaging (EEG/MEG and/or MRI) data. These studies will be informed by computational modeling and will use cutting-edge data analysis methods. The project will build on recent work from the Melcher lab on the neural mechanisms underlying individual and clinical differences in visual temporal resolution and in classic measures of Speed of Processing such as the SDMT, as well as recent studies from our lab showing an influence of mood and stress on these measures.

Applicants must have at least a Bachelor’s degree in a field related to this project, or a Masters degree with less than 5 years of experience. Previous experience in similar research paradigms (behavioral and/or neuroimaging experiments with human participants) is required. Applicants with a strong background in coding (such as in Python or Matlab) are particularly encouraged to apply.

For consideration, applicants need to submit a cover letter, curriculum vitae with full publication list, statement of research interests, the name of three referees, and a transcript, all in PDF format. If you have any questions, please email Prof. Melcher at david.melcher@nyu.edu.
