Open positions

Undergraduate Research opportunities

There are several research opportunities in the lab. Interested students should contact Prof. Rokhinson at leonid@purdue.edu.

Graduate Research Assistant position - Development of high temperature superconducting qubits

Prof. Leonid Rokhinson group is seeking motivated students to join a DOE-sponsored project focused on developing noise-resilient qubits based on layered high-Tc superconductors. The work, conducted in close collaboration with Prof. Philip Kim group at Harvard, will utilize the d-wave nature of Josephson junctions fabricated from twisted BSCCO superconductors and integrate these junctions into superconducting RF circuitry capable of operating at elevated temperatures (>1 K).

We are particularly interested in candidates with a strong background in condensed matter physics, some experience in device fabrication, low-temperature/low-noise measurements and/or RF measurements and characterization is desirable. Interested students should contact Prof. Rokhinson at leonid@purdue.edu.

Postdoctoral associate position - Development of high temperature superconducting qubits

The group of Prof. Leonid Rokhinson at Purdue University invites applications from new or recent doctoral recipients to join a DOE-funded project to develop noise-resilient qubits based on layered high-Tc superconductors. The project is a joint effort between Purdue and a group of Prof. Philip Kim at Harvard. The postdoc will be primarily stationed at Harvard focusing on the development of twisted BSCOO Josephson junctions in Kim's lab. A successful candidate should have a solid background in condensed matter physics. Experimental expertise in 2D materials exfoliation and device assembly and characterization is required. Applications should be submitted to Prof. Leonid Rokhinson (leonid@purdue.edu) enclosing a cover letter, CV, a list of publications, and a list of people who can provide references upon a request. The position is available immediately and applications will be accepted until the position is filled.
