Senior Process Engineer at NQCP
The Niels Bohr Institute at Faculty of Science, the University of Copenhagen is looking for a Senior Process Engineer (NanoFab/MBE) with effect from 1 February 2027 or after agreement.
About us
The Novo Nordisk Foundation Quantum Computing Programme (NQCP) is establishing a talented and diverse international team to create a cutting-edge quantum programme in the heart of Copenhagen, Denmark. At the Niels Bohr Institute, University of Copenhagen, where the formulation of Quantum Mechanics was born 100 years ago, we aim to establish an international quantum computing programme, funded by the Novo Nordisk Foundation, that will drive research and innovations at multiple levels - from developing scalable quantum processor technologies to solutions for the quantum-classical control and readout interface, and all the way to quantum algorithms and applications. The long-term mission of the programme is to develop fault-tolerant quantum computing hardware and quantum algorithms that solve life-science-relevant chemical and biological problems.
Tasks
As part of the POEM facility, located at the new Niels Bohr Building, where NQCP together with its partner RIBER develop new oxide materials and related quantum devices, we are seeking an experienced process engineer to build and support new processing capabilities towards innovative qubit devices.
Responsibilities
Life in Denmark is supported with strong social services (free universal healthcare, free/subsidised language courses, paid parental leave, subsidised day care institutions and excellent public schools). Our work culture is very egalitarian and prioritises work life balance. Dual career families are the norm, and workplaces offer flexibility to support everyone in having both an exciting career and good family time. Danish cities are known for having excellent infrastructure, for example through widespread bike path networks. We can also offer a thriving food-scene, excellent museums, and beautiful natural scenery.
Terms of salary and employment
The employment and salary are made in accordance with the Circular on the Collective Agreement concerning academics in the state sector concluded between the Ministry of Finance and AC (the Danish Confederation of Professional Associations).
The employment will be as an academic employee or special consultant and the salary is based on seniority. Negotiation for salary supplement is possible. The working hours are 37 hours per week on average. The working hours are flexible.
The position is limited to 31 December 2029.
When you will be affiliated with the University of Copenhagen or otherwise have access to their research, you may be required to undergo a background screening. The purpose is to protect the security and research integrity of the University of Copenhagen.
Your application
