Seeking a Research Scientist or Postdoctoral Researcher (25-698) Part-time

Research Scientist Or Postdoctoral Researcher

The Quantum Electron Device Research Team, RIKEN Center for Emergent Matter Science is looking for a postdoctoral researcher or research scientist. The team develops quantum electron devices based on manipulation and transfer of quantum degrees of freedom in solids. They employ quantum electron optics and experiments on manipulation of novel quantum degrees of freedom in atomic-layer materials. These experiments aim to reveal physics of quantum coherence, quantum correlations, and quantum conversions, as guiding principles for quantum electron devices. They also employ state of the art quantum technologies to solve long-standing problems in condensed matter physics from microscopic points of view.

The successful candidates will work on quantum transport in semiconductor nanostructures or atomic layer materials. Examples are development of quantum devices and quantum information technologies based on electron wave packets propagating on semiconductor quantum circuits, and quantum simulation experiments using semiconductor nanostructures and 2D materials.

The candidate should possess a doctoral degree by experimental study in the solid state physics field, or the candidate should be able to obtain a doctoral degree by experimental study in the solid state physics field before the work start date.

The position is located at the Quantum Electron Device Research Team, RIKEN Center for Emergent Matter Science (2-1 Hirosawa, Wako, Saitama 351-0198). RIKEN may order the employee to change work locations, if necessary.
