Job description
Join Quantum Labs Institute in Boston as a Senior Research Physicist specializing in quantum materials. You will lead experimental investigations, mentor junior scientists, and collaborate with cross disciplinary teams to push the frontiers of quantum materials research.
In this role you will design, execute, and analyze cutting edge experiments, develop robust measurement protocols, and help translate discoveries into practical advances in quantum technologies. The ideal candidate thrives in a fast paced environment and communicates complex results clearly to diverse audiences.
Responsibility
- Lead design and execution of high impact experiments in quantum materials and low temperature physics.
- Develop and optimize measurement protocols and data analysis pipelines for transport, magnetometry and spectroscopy.
- Collaborate with theory and computational teams to interpret results and refine models.
- Mentor graduate students and junior researchers; supervise experiments and safety compliance.
- Prepare and present results for internal reviews, grant proposals and external conferences.
- Manage lab workflow, instrumentation maintenance, procurement and quality control.
- Publish findings in peer reviewed journals and contribute to intellectual property development.
- Engage with external facilities such as synchrotron or neutron sources to advance projects.
Qualification
- PhD in Physics or related field; or MS with extensive experimental experience in quantum materials.
- 5+ years in experimental condensed matter or quantum materials research.
- Expertise in cryogenics, low temperature measurements from milliKelvin to a few Kelvin and cryogenic instrumentation.
- Proficiency in data analysis using Python and MATLAB; experience with LabVIEW or similar tools.
- Strong publication record and experience with grant writing and project management.
- Excellent communication skills and ability to collaborate across disciplines.
- Ability to interpret experimental data in the context of theoretical models; strong problem solving skills.
- US work authorization and willingness to travel as needed.
