Experimental Researcher in Diamond Quantum Science

Develop experiments coupling spin, light and mechanical motion in levitated macroscopic systems in the Quantum Machines Unit. Projects use diamond nitrogen-vacancy defects, magnetic levitation and cooling to investigate nonclassical motional states and sensitive measurements of gravity or inertial forces. Duties include experiments, publications and research-group activities. This is a full-time two-year appointment with possible renewal and expected annual pay of JPY 4.6–5.9 million.

PhD in physics or a related discipline and more than five years of post-PhD research experience, as specified in the advert. Strong experimental expertise in diamond quantum science, solid-state spins, optomechanics or levitation, research achievements and English communication. Automation, vacuum, cryogenics or electronics experience is useful. Follow the role page’s email instructions with CV, cover letter and three to five referees.
