We seek candidates interested in applying QIS tools—particularly those based in microwave cavities and superconducting qubits—to search for postulated beyond-the-standard-model (BSM) physics, including axions and dark photons. The successful candidate will participate in efforts to improve search sensitivity and evaluate novel search schemes. Previous experience with the use of microwave cavities and QIS tools for BSM physics is preferred.

As a member of the Center, the position will involve working with a multidisciplinary team, including others who contribute expertise in materials and devices. The research will take advantage of world-class facilities and testbeds available both at Fermilab and with national and international Center partner institutions. It will build on platforms enabled by world leading coherence times of superconducting radiofrequency cavities to improve discovery potential.

We respect, understand, and value individual differences that embody the principles of diversity and abide by all environment, safety, and health regulations. We believe teams are the most successful when everyone may bring their whole selves to work. You would be joining a team with a deeply held commitment to developing and promoting an inclusive work environment.

Positions are for a period of up to three (3) years, with the potential for extension considered on a yearly basis thereafter.

You Will • Develop theories in the areas of sub-atomic particles, particle accelerators, astro-physics or cosmology. • Conduct studies on the feasibility of testing theories experimentally. • Design, build, install or commission new or upgraded elements of experiments or particle accelerators. • Participate in data acquisition; conduct data analysis and present/publish outcomes in conference proceedings or refereed journals. • Abide by and be responsible for performing all duties in accordance with all environmental, health and safety regulations and practices pertinent to this position. • Respect, understand and value individual differences that embody the principles of diversity.

We Are Looking For • PhD in Physics or related discipline by the time of the appointment • Strong record of recent accomplishments in experimental physics • Excellent verbal and written communication skills as demonstrated by presentations at conferences and a record of publication(s) in peer-reviewed journals. • Previous experience with the use of microwave cavities and QIS (quantum information science) tools for BSM (beyond-the-standard-model) physics is preferred.

Application Instructions Interested candidates should submit via Academic Jobs Online:

1) Cover letter 2) Curriculum Vitae 3) Research Statement 4) Publication List 5) Three Reference Letters (to be submitted by the reference writers at the AJO site).
