Post-Doctoral Research Associates
Superconducting Nanowires
Post-doctoral candidate with experience suitable for performing research in superconducting electronics and detectors. The post-doc will have an opportunity to develop superconducting nanowire-based devices and apply them to detection arrays and readout electronics for particle detection for fundamental physics. The candidate may also have the opportunity to collaborate within the group in projects applying these devices to quantum information science, energy-efficient classical computation, and the study of superconducting physics. The new hire will assist in the planning and management of group activities, especially in mentoring graduate and undergraduate students, planning and executing research programs, and raising funds for research. The candidate must have a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, Applied Physics, or a related field. The initial emphasis of the work will be on the development of superconducting circuits based on nanowire cryotrons for applications to high-energy particle detection and optical-electronic interfaces. Applications to single-photon detection will also be investigated.

Electron Optics and Nanofabrication
We do occasionally have unadvertised opportunities arise. Please apply via this form, with a text-only CV.
Graduate Research Assistants
Developing superconducting-nanowire-based electronics
We are looking for a graduate research assistant (must be an admitted MIT graduate student) to develop novel quantum sensors, logic devices, and digital circuits based on superconducting nanowires. Present projects can support students in developing their skills from designing and fabricating electronics to constructing working systems, which are aimed at various applications, such as quantum information science and energy-efficient classical computation. The initial emphasis of the work will be on the investigation of the working principles of superconducting nanowires and the development of superconducting circuits based on nanowire-based electronics.
Undergraduate Research Assistants
We continuously consider applications for undergraduate research assistant positions through the Undergraduate Research Opportunities (UROP) program. The position would require a commitment of ~ 10 hours per week, and full-time employment during IAP and the summer. Please submit your CV as text in the body of your application email, a list of courses taken and grades, major or intended major, and a cover letter stating your interest in the position to our administrative assistant. All this should be submitted as text in a single email, no attachments, please.
Non-MIT students seeking a summer or other research position, you should (1) have your own funding (e.g. through an NSF REU program); and (2) apply in the early spring by filling out this form. All materials should be submitted as text in a single email, no attachments, please. We will not be able to respond to requests that do not adhere to these formatting requirements.
Administrative and Technical Staff
We are not currently hiring administrative or technical staff, however interested potential candidates should subscribe to our RSS News Feed or check this site frequently, as new positions will be posted on that feed and the news page of this site when they arise.
Visiting Researchers and Students
We host extended visits by researchers from academia or industry or by students enrolled at other educational institutions. Generally, visits from students that last for fewer than 6 months will not be considered, while the most productive visits last at least a year.
If interested, apply via this form. In planning a visit to MIT, you may also find the information at the international student’s office and the international scholar’s office to be helpful. We will not be able to respond to requests that do not adhere to these formatting requirements.
