**About IFAE**:
The Institut de Física d’Altes Energies (IFAE) is a public consortium of the Generalitat de Catalunya, the Autonomous Government of Catalonia, and the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB, a public university) whose main objective is to carry out research and to contribute to the development of high energy physics from a theoretical, experimental and technological point of view. IFAE has the status of a “University Institute" attached to the UAB and its premises are within the campus of the University.

**About Quantum Computing Technology group**:
In 2019, IFAE started a new line on quantum computation with superconducting circuits, the Quantum Computing Technology group, to study the implications of this emerging technology in different areas of particle physics. The Quantum Computing Technology (QCT) group at IFAE hosts a complete laboratory to perform experiments controlling superconducting qubits, including dilution refrigerators, and instrumentation for microwave signal generation and acquisition. The group also has access to a metal evaporator exclusively used to produce superconducting quantum devices. The QCT group has already demonstrated coherent control of superconducting qubits and is developing its own program on coherent quantum annealing, being the coordinator of the European FET Open project AVaQus, which aims to develop a prototype coherent quantum annealer and includes most of the top European laboratories developing superconducting qubit technology. The QCT group is also involved in project QRADEs for the use of qubits as detectors of particle physics events.

**Required skills and evaluation criteria**:

- A Master of Science (MSc) or equivalent degree in physics. Specific knowledge on quantum computing, and particularly on superconducting circuits, will be highly valued.
- Knowledge of Linux and strong programming skills (preferably Python) are desirable.
- Experience in laboratories involving research with cryostats, as well as cleanroom experience to fabricate nanodevices will be highly evaluated.
- Scientific excellence based on the CV and recommendation letters: 50 points.
- Previous experience: 50 points.

**What will be your role?**:
**Offered contract**:

- Full-time contract (40 hours/week).
- Internship Contract (1 year maximum) + then Predoctoral Contract; It will last approximately 4 years maximum.
- The position will correspond to “Research Technician” and later to “Predoctoral Researcher (R1)” within the professional categories of the IFAE.
- Salary will be proportional to experience and qualifications within the corresponding category range.
- Work with interesting experimental science. Travelling to scientific singular infrastructures. Opportunity to gain experience learning first-hand. Personal growth, innovation, and learning every day.

**Application and Selection process**:
In compliance with article 121 of the Spanish Public Sector Legal Regime Act, staff with a pre-existing relationship with the Consortium administration (Generalitat de Catalunya and Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona) will have priority in the awarding of the position.
