Position Description
M1 Quantum Lab / Interdisciplinary Institute for Technological Innovation Research Scientist Position in Quantum Technology About the M1 Quantum Lab Group Led by Pr. Mathieu Juan, the group specializes in quantum information processing and hybrid quantum systems. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to, superconducting quantum circuits, circuit QED, and quantum optomechanics. Beyond fundamental sciences, the technological applications explored in the group include quantum interconnects and acceleration sensors. As a member of the group, you'll be part of the Institut Quantique (IQ) and Interdisciplinary Institute for Technological Innovation (3iT) at the Université de Sherbrooke which mission is to stimulate technological development by providing an interdisciplinary ecosystem of scientific research, entrepreneurship, and innovation. This unique position combines a dynamic research environment on quantum science in the M1 Quantum Lab as well as an active role in innovation and the technological development of novel technologies. Job Description Role: As part of the M1 Quantum Lab team, you will have the opportunity to take part to different projects involving optical, mechanical, and superconducting devices. Current projects include levitated optomechanics, inertial sensing, double quantum dots, and quantum transduction. With the freedom to choose the projects that matches your interests and the opportunity to mentor motivated students while also getting involved in project management and grant applications, the position offers excellent career building opportunities. Location: Located in Quebec, Canada, the Institut Quantique (IQ) at the Université de Sherbrooke is a collaborative environment with over 300 students, postdocs and faculty members pioneering advancements in the fields of quantum information science, quantum engineering and quantum materials. IQ's modern and architecturally unique building, inaugurated in 2022, offers an array of collaborative spaces to inspire creativity and innovation. While living in Sherbrooke, a thriving urban area (225 000 people) in the midst of the Appalachian range, you'll enjoy the perfect balance of peaceful surroundings and city amenities. Sherbrooke's human-scale campus and welcoming community provide the ideal backdrop for your journey. The Université de Sherbrooke is amongst the top three universities for quantum research in Canada and is only 150 km (93 miles) away from Montreal, a vibrant city with an international airport and excellent flight connections to Europe, USA and South America. Profile We're looking for highly motivated candidates, capable of working independently on their projects while actively collaborating with other group members. Our ideal candidate has excellent communication skills as evidenced by publications and talks, as well as strong interpersonal skills. Experience in fabrication of either superconducting or photonic circuits would be an asset. If your academic background or profile doesn't, at first glance, seem directly related to our research interests, explain how your expertise could be useful to us and tell us about your motivation to join us. We are committed to fostering a diverse, equitable, and inclusive environment. We strongly believe that a diverse team enhances creativity and promotes innovation while providing a vibrant work environment.
