University Assistant (prae doc)
at the Quantum Optics, Quantum Nanophysics and Quantum Information
Reference number: 13502
Our research team advances experiments in biomolecular beam physics, mass spectrometry, photochemistry and superconducting quantum detector technology. New experiments shall build on our demonstrated capabilities in these fields to develop methods that will allow us to prepare and analyze optically charge-controlled biomolecules in high vacuum, as well as to optimize superconductor nanowire technologies for the detection of particles at low energy. For this purpose, we seek to hire a University Assistant (PhD student) in the research team of Prof. Markus Arndt at the Faculty of Physics at the University of Vienna.
The employment relationship is initially limited to 1.5 years and automatically extended to a total of 4 years, unless the employer submits a declaration of non-renewal after a maximum of 12 months.
Duration of employment: 4 year/s
Extent of Employment: 30.0 hours/week

Job Description:
The candidate shall
- participate in all stages of planning, preparation, conduction, evaluation, exploitation and reporting of experiments which focus on testing new protein tags for optical charge control and novel nanowire quantum devices for particle beam detection.
- have the desire and competence to build and improve experimental research equipment
- be happy to work on experimental photochemistry, mass spectrometry and quantum detection.
- be involved in teaching to a moderate extent as defined by the collective agreement.
- support the group in their self-organization and research administration on equal footing with
