CIC nanoGUNE, Villa Espana Colonia, Texas, United States
Organisation/Company CIC nanoGUNE Department Quantum Hardware Research Field Physics Researcher Profile First Stage Researcher (R1) Country Spain Application Deadline 31 Dec 2025 - 23:59 (UTC) Type of Contract Temporary Job Status Full-time Hours Per Week 40 Offer Starting Date 1 Oct 2026 Is the job funded through the EU Research Framework Programme? Not funded by a EU programme Is the Job related to staff position within a Research Infrastructure? No
Offer Description The selected candidate will join the Quantum Hardware group lead by Prof. M. Fernando Gonzalez-Zalba, a multidisciplinary and dynamic research team passionate about building a scalable quantum computer based on silicon technology. Moreover, the PhD will have a strong industrial component given the close collaboration with the quantum computing start-up, Quantum Motion, particularly with Dr. Ciriano-Tejel, machine learning group.
Key responsibilities:
Conduct research focused on developing scalable quantum processors based on silicon spin qubits.
Perform dynamical operations on spin qubits using high frequency electronic equipment
Develop and test automation routines for experiments using reinforcement learning, Bayesian methods, image analysis and data analysis.
Collaborate with interdisciplinary teams, including machine learning experts, device modelling specialist, integrated circuit designers, and quantum algorithm developers
Analyze and interpret experimental data, contributing to scientific publications, patents, and presentations.
Engage with the wider international research community by participating in conferences, workshops, and collaborative projects.
Qualifications:
Top tier education in Physics, Electrical Engineering, or a related field, studied to master s degree level.
Background in solid-sate physics, semiconductor devices, quantum information, and/or analogue circuits is desirable.
Experience in data analysis and programming, particularly in the use of Python, Git, and Gitlab.
Excellent communication skills in English, both written and verbal.
Ability to work independently and as part of a collaborative research team.
Conditions:
A PhD stipend/salary for the duration of the project (4 years).
Access to state‑of‑the‑art cryogenic laboratory facilities and computational resources.
An opportunity to spend substantial amount of time working at the Quantum Motion headquarters in London.
Wider opportunities for research stays at partner academic and industrial institutions, participation in conferences, and involvement at international collaborations.
Comprehensive health insurance (as per nanoGUNE and EU regulations).
The position is expected to start on 01/10/2026
Interested candidates should apply by filling in the online form and by submitting the following documents in a single PDF file:
A detailed CV, including academic background and relevant experience. We particularly welcome experimental experience in a laboratory setting.
Contact information for two references.
For informal enquiries, interested candidates are welcome to contact Prof. M. Fernando Gonzalez-Zalba (f.gonzalez@nanogune.eu ).
The deadline for applications is 31/12/2025.
