Are you excited about pioneering experimental quantum computing? Do you want to be part of a world-class research environment developing the next generation of superconducting quantum processors? We are seeking a Postdoctoral researcher to join our ambitious team at the Wallenberg Centre for Quantum Technology (WACQT), based at the Department of Microtechnology and Nanoscience (MC2). About us  The https://www.chalmers.se/en/departments/mc2/ (MC2) advances the frontiers in quantum technology, nanoscience, photonics, and future electronic systems. Our cross-disciplinary approach drives innovations through collaborations across academia, industry, and society. We offer a vibrant, international environment with direct access to world-class nanofabrication facilities. At the https://www.chalmers.se/en/departments/mc2/research/quantum-technology/ (QTL), we explore how quantum physics can unlock radically new ways of processing information. Our research spans quantum computing, sensing, transduction, and thermodynamics, aimed at harnessing the behavior of light and matter at the quantum level. About the research project   This project is a proof-of-concept effort aimed at demonstrating a reliable post-fabrication trimming process for Josephson junctions in superconducting qubits. Unlike open-ended exploratory research, this project is goal-oriented and experimentally driven. It requires both careful physical interpretation and structured technical validation. You will take primary responsibility for planning and executing the experimental program in collaboration with senior researchers. While the role does not include formal personnel management, scientific initiative and independence are highly expected. Key responsibilities include: Designing and executing cryogenic experiments. Characterizing Josephson junctions and superconducting circuits. Analyzing device behavior and degradation mechanisms. Correlating electrical performance with material properties (aging, interfaces, coherence). Contributing to reproducible superconducting qubit fabrication workflows within WACQT. The project is closely connected to ongoing superconducting quantum processor development efforts within WACQT. Who we are looking for  The following requirements are mandatory:  A PhD in Physics, Applied Physics, Materials Science, Electrical Engineering, or a closely related field. Strong experimental research experience in superconducting devices, quantum devices, low-temperature physics, nanoscience, or related areas. Experience with at least one of the following:programming experience in Python MATLAB or similar tools for data analysis and experiment automation. You are expected to be somewhat accustomed to teaching, and to demonstrate good potential within research and education.  The following experiences are considered beneficial, but are not required: Dilution refrigerator operation. Transmon qubit measurements. Microwave control and readout. Quantum coherence measurements. Thin-film characterization. Tunnel junction fabrication. Cleanroom micro/nanofabrication. Device simulation or modeling. We recognize that strong candidates may not match every listed qualification. If your experience aligns with part of the profile and you are interested in the project, we encourage you to apply. What you will do Experimental research Design and execute experiments on superconducting quantum devices. Develop and validate electrical trimming methods for Josephson junctions. Perform low-temperature measurements using dilution refrigerators. Device characterization and analysis Characterize superconducting circuits using DC, AC, and RF measurement techniques. Analyze complex experimental datasets and develop physical interpretations of device behavior. Investigate relationships between fabrication processes, material properties, and device performance. Collaboration and scientific communication Work closely with researchers in superconducting qubit development, nanofabrication, and materials characterization. Present results internally and externally through publications, reports, and conference presentations.

How can AI enable firms to trust each other and collaborate? or will it break our trust? Join our interdisciplinary research at Chalmers to develop new insights and tools for trust‑calibrated, AI‑supported decision‑making in SCM or Transport. Join us at the Division of Supply and Operations Management, Department of Technology Management and Economics, and help advance knowledge in the supply chain management and AI fields. The project will be conducted in close collaboration with the Interaction Design and Software Engineering division at the Computer Science and Engineering department.  We are looking for an ambitious and analytical postdoc to join our team.  About us  The Department of Technology Management and Economics conducts research and education at the intersection of technological development and management/policy. The division of Supply & Operations Management (SOM) performs research, education and outreach activities related to logistics, operations management, and industrial marketing and purchasing. All of these areas relate to the broader field of supply chain management. Our research is empirical and problem-oriented, with strong emphasis on theoretical, industrial, and societal relevance.   The Interaction Design and Software Engineering division conducts research and education in both Interaction Design and Software Engineering.  About the research project   This 2 year funded Postdoc project investigates how AI‑supported decision-making reshape collaboration, trust, and information sharing in a business-to-business context. Focusing on real-world supply chain management and logistics settings, it examines how trust in AI and between organizations influences data sharing, coordination, and joint efforts toward zero‑emission systems.  Using qualitative and quantitative methods, the project develops and tests a practical framework for “trust calibration” in AI‑supported collaboration, helping organizations understand when to rely on AI, when to verify its recommendations, and how to design governance structures for responsible and effective collaboration. We have a pool of interview data to begin the project. Who we are looking for  The following requirements are mandatory:  A doctoral degree in supply chain management, operations management, information systems, or a related field (or an equivalent foreign degree). This eligibility requirement must be met no later than the time the employment decision is made. Strong written and verbal communication skills in English.  Experience in conducting and publishing empirical (case studies, surveys, interviews, etc.) and analytical research methods.  Comfortable with basic coding used to develop the calibration model. Demonstrated interest in topics related to AI, inter-organizational collaboration, trust, or transport/logistics systems. Ability to work both independently and collaboratively in an interdisciplinary research environment. You are expected to be somewhat accustomed to teaching and to demonstrate good potential within research and education.  The following experience will strengthen your application:  It is highly meritorious if the doctoral degree has been obtained within the last three years prior to the application deadline. Experience working with AI-related topics, digital technologies, or data-driven decision-making. Experience with mixed-method research designs. Prior collaboration with industry or engagement in applied research projects. What you will do  Conduct research on AI‑supported decision‑making, trust, and collaboration in transport and logistics systems. Design and carry out qualitative and quantitative studies (e.g., interviews, surveys, and empirical analysis) and contribute to the development of a light weight trust calibration framework for AI‑supported collaboration.
