    What Your Job Will Be Like


    The Multiscale Fabrication Science & Technology Development Department, 5229, is seeking a passionate and motivated Postdoctoral Appointee to drive device measurements as part of an established and diverse team that includes physicists, engineers, and chemists.

    The candidate will work on a project exploring the materials origin of coherence-limiting charge noise in semiconductor quantum-dot-based qubits. To accomplish this, this project correlates electrical measurements of quantum dots with sophisticated material characterization.

    Candidates will be encouraged to contribute significantly at the forefront in the following areas:

    Development and execution of electrical measurements of gate-defined nanoscale devices in cryogenic environments and at high speed.
    Design of both quantum-dot devices and other structures which build a detailed picture of the dot environment.
    Development of materials improvements to suppress charge noise and extend coherence.

    On any given day, you may be called upon to:


    Assist in characterization of quantum dot-based semiconductor spin devices to support fundamental science projects investigating semiconductor-based quantum information devices and quantum materials.

    Meet and coordinate with the teams fabricating, characterizing, and measuring the devices, as well as the theorists who model the device behavior.

    Significantly coordinate with the expertise of the team to meet deliverables, which will supplement the candidate's area of research to contribute to the team and their success.

    Due to the nature of the work, the selected applicant must be able to work onsite.

    Qualifications We Require

    PhD in electrical engineering, materials science, physics, or other relevant field conferred within five (5) years prior to employment
    Experience performing original experimental research, as proven by a record of publications in peer-reviewed journals
    Ability to acquire and maintain a DOE L security clearance

    Qualifications We Desire

    Cryogenic electrical characterization of microelectronic devices
    Design and fabrication of microelectronic devices
    Excellent teaming and communication skills

    About Our Team


    The Multiscale Fabrication Science & Technology Development Department leverages a diverse capability set to provide science and technology products to enhance Sandia's national security missions.

    The department includes a broad set of expertise including atomic physics, quantum information S&T, micro-optics, and electrochemistry.

    We provide solutions including atomic physics based sensors; microfabrication at the atomic scale, atomic level experimental setups, atom and ion trapping microelectronic devices, and electrochemical materials expertise.

    In addition to work for internal Sandia organizations, we have an established record of successful engagement, collaboration, and delivery to both internal and external customers.

    The department leverages strong relationships with the Microsystems Engineering Sciences and Applications (MESA) facility, the Center for Integrated Nanotechnologies (CINT), and other internal and external organizations to develop advanced solid-state electronic device technology.

    Posting Duration


    This posting will be open for application submissions for a minimum of seven (7) calendar days, including the 'posting date'.

    Sandia reserves the right to extend the posting date at any time.

    Security Clearance


    Sandia is required by DOE to conduct a pre-employment drug test and background review that includes checks of personal references, credit, law enforcement records, and employment/education verifications.

    Applicants for employment need to be able to obtain and maintain a DOE L-level security clearance, which requires U.S. citizenship. If you hold more than one citizenship (i.e., of the U.S. and another country), your ability to obtain a security clearance may be impacted.


    Applicants offered employment with Sandia are subject to a federal background investigation to meet the requirements for access to classified information or matter if the duties of the position require a DOE security clearance.

    Substance abuse or illegal drug use, falsification of information, criminal activity, serious misconduct or other indicators of untrustworthiness can cause a clearance to be denied or terminated by the DOE, resulting in the inability to perform the duties assigned and subsequent termination of employment.


    EEO


    All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, age, disability, or veteran status and any other protected class under state or federal law.

    NNSA Requirements for MedPEDs


    If you have a Medical Portable Electronic Device (MedPED), such as a pacemaker, defibrillator, drug-releasing pump, hearing aids, or diagnostic equipment and other equipment for measuring, monitoring, and recording body functions such as heartbeat and brain waves, if employed by Sandia National Laboratories you may be required to comply with NNSA security requirements for MedPEDs.


    If you have a MedPED and you are selected for an on-site interview at Sandia National Laboratories, there may be additional steps necessary to ensure compliance with NNSA security requirements prior to the interview date.

    Position Information


    This postdoctoral position is a temporary position for up to one year, which may be renewed at Sandia's discretion up to five additional years.

    The PhD must have been conferred within five years prior to employment.


    Individuals in postdoctoral positions may bid on regular Sandia positions as internal candidates, and in some cases may be converted to regular career positions during their term if warranted by ongoing operational needs, continuing availability of funds, and satisfactory job performance.
