Senior Surface Scientist

**About Us**

Quantum Brilliance is the world pioneer in room-temperature quantum computing using synthetic diamonds. Our unique vision is to make quantum computing available as an everyday technology, from data centers to remote and mobile systems like autonomous robots and satellites. In contrast to quantum computers that fill a room, we are developing quantum accelerators with more computing power than a classical supercomputer but a form factor smaller than a lunchbox.

We are backed by eminent venture capital funds and major research and technology institutes.

**The Mission**:
**Responsibilities**:

- Autonomously conduct research activities using different SPM techniques for imaging and spectroscopy to investigate the properties and behavior of molecules on diamond surfaces
- Designing and executing experiments related to surface characterization and analysis using STM and related techniques
- Analyze and interpret experimental results using a variety of data analysis techniques
- Work closely with theoretical chemists to develop and validate theoretical models
- Collaborate with other team members and research partners to achieve project goals and objectives related to STM
- Present research findings at scientific conferences and publish research results in peer-reviewed journals
- Participate in the training and mentoring of junior team members

**Profile Requirements**:

- PhD in physics, chemistry, materials science, or a related field
- 2+ years post-doc experience demonstrating research and projects management skills in STM-driven surface science research
- Strong background (5+ years) in ultra-high vacuum (UHV), scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM) and surface chemistry.
- Strong track record of presenting research at international conferences (including invited talks)
- Excellent understanding of solid-state physics and surface science
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
- Ability to work independently and part of a team as well as in collaboration with other stakeholders and external partners
- Excellent communication and writing skills in English to transfer technical information to various stakeholders.

**Beneficial but not mandatory**:

- Experience with other surface characterization techniques such as AFM, XPS, or TEM
- Proficiency in programming languages such as Python and Matlab for data analysis and processing
