Job Description:
The Quantum Sensing and Rare-Event Detection Group in the Department of Physics at Syracuse University, led by Prof. Caleb Fink, invites applications for a Postdoctoral Researcher in the area of quantum device physics for applications in fundamental particle physics and quantum information science (QIS).
The successful candidate will contribute to a new research program focused on the design, fabrication, and characterization of superconducting quantum devices and their integration into dark matter and neutrino detectors. Projects include:
- Development of cavity-coupled Cooper-pair transistor (cCPT)-based charge amplifiers for sub-electron sensitivity in rare-event searches.
- Continued development of SQUAT devices for novel sensing applications (arXiv:2310.01345).
- Collaborative work on SPLENDOR, a modular narrow-gap semiconductor detector platform for light dark matter (arXiv:2507.17782, arXiv:2311.02229).
- Related projects at the interface of quantum sensing, condensed matter physics, and astroparticle physics.
Much of this work will be carried out in close collaboration with Stanford/SLAC and other national laboratory and university partners, providing opportunities for joint projects, travel, and engagement with a broader quantum sensing and particle physics community. The position is also affiliated with the Syracuse Institute for Quantum and Information Science, offering access to a vibrant network of researchers in quantum information science, condensed matter physics, and device engineering.
Qualified candidates should submit their curriculum vitae with a list of publications, a cover letter describing their qualifications and research interests, and the e-mail addresses of three references to the online position posting. Syracuse University is an equal-opportunity institution. We welcome applications from individuals who bring a range of skills, background, experiences, and perspectives.
Qualifications:
- Ph.D. in physics, applied physics, electrical engineering, or a related field at the time of appointment. Candidates must have received their Ph.D. within the past 5 years.
- Experience in at least one of the following areas: superconducting device physics, cryogenic measurements, quantum sensing, solid-state detectors, RF/microwave systems, dark matter detection, neutrino physics, or cosmology.
- Strong interest in both fundamental particle physics applications and quantum device science.
- Ability to work collaboratively across institutions.
Job Specific Qualifications:
While the following are not required, we are seeking candidates who possess these preferred qualifications:
- Prior record conducting experimental research in low-temperature physics, quantum devices, or particle detector instrumentation.
- Experience with microwave electronics, device modeling, or nanofabrication.
Responsibilities:
- Conceive, design, and conduct experiments on superconducting sensors and related devices.
- Perform data analysis and simulations; report and publish results.
- Supervise graduate and undergraduate students in the group.
- Collaborate with external teams at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory (device fabrication, RF readout) and Los Alamos National Laboratory (materials development).
- Participate in joint meetings and occasional travel to partner institutions for experimental campaigns.
