Job description

Postdoctoral Researchers in Quantum Nanomechanics

The Quantum Nanomechanics group at the Department of Applied Physics is seeking outstanding candidates for the position of Postdoctoral Researcher to conduct experimental research in projects related to quantum micromechanical systems. Our team investigates how mechanical oscillators can be utilized for fundamental studies probing quantum mechanics in massive systems, as well as for applications in quantum information processing. The measurements are carried out at deep cryogenic temperatures in dilution refrigerators. We have demonstrated quantum entanglement between two micromechanical oscillators realized as vibrating aluminum drumheads (Nature 556, ); Science 372, )).

Your role

The experimental work in all these projects involves design of the samples and of the measurement setups, cleanroom fabrication, performing cryogenic microwave measurements, and data analysis. You are expected to participate in advising and mentoring PhD students.

Your Experience And Ambitions

For this challenging research, we are looking for brilliant and energetic individuals who are motivated in experimental, low-temperature quantum physics. We require the candidates to have a proven track record in experimental research with similar or related topics, cleanroom microfabrication, and strong interest in micromechanical systems. Additionally, the candidates should be excellent team players. Experience with cryogenics and dilution refrigerators, and skill in theoretical understanding of the studied phenomena, are considered significant assets.

What We Offer

The Quantum Nanomechanics team conducts cutting-edge experimental research on the foundations of quantum mechanics. We explore processing of quantum information with mechanical motion and lay the foundation for a new generation of devices that use various types of microwave-optomechanical effects for efficient signal processing. We have realized quantum-limited microwave amplifiers and nonreciprocal components to be used in superconducting quantum technology.

Requirements

  • PhD degree in a suitable field.
  • Excellent skills in English; Finnish language is not required.
  • Proven track record in experimental research with related topics and cleanroom microfabrication.
  • Strong interest in micromechanical systems and ability to work well in a team.
  • Experience with cryogenics and dilution refrigerators is an asset; theoretical understanding of the studied phenomena is valued.

Application and Deadline

To apply for the position, please submit your application including the attachments listed below as one single PDF document in English through our online recruitment system by using the link on Aalto University’s web page (click the Apply Now button).

  • Letter of motivation
  • CV including list of publications
  • Degree certificates
  • Contact details of at least two referees
  • The deadline for applications is November 30, 2025. We will review applications and may invite suitable candidates to interview during the application period. The positions will be filled as soon as suitable candidates are identified. For additional information, contact Prof. Mika Sillanpää ( ).

    Additional information : Aalto University reserves the right for justified reasons to leave the position open, to extend the application period, reopen the application process, and to consider candidates who have not submitted applications during the application period.

    About the workplace

    The workplace will be the Otaniemi Campus of Aalto University, in the premises of the OtaNano national research infrastructure for micro- and nanotechnologies. OtaNano provides access to advanced nanofabrication, nanomicroscopy and measurement facilities. The team belongs to the national Centre of Excellence – Quantum Technology Finland and is part of the Finnish Quantum Flagship initiative.
