Physicist or Electrical engineer (f/m/d)

• The focus of your research will be the characterization of Metallic Magnetic Calorimeters (MMCs) and other quantum sensors in external magnetic fields (up to 50 mT)
• You will independently design experimental setups for a 10 mK dilution refrigerator, perform measurements , and analyze the resulting data
• In addition, you will model detector performance (timing an energy resolution), compare simulations with experimental data, and extrapolate the sensitivity to the neutrino mass in the context of potential quantum sensor  sensor array using a tritium source like at  KATRIN
• Participation in teaching and outreach activities is expected.

There is the possibility of pursuing a doctorate in addition to academic work.

Persönliche Qualifikation

• You have a master's degree in physics or electrical engineering
• Strong expertise in the field of quantum mechanics (mK) and quantum sensors is desirable.
