Marie Curie Experienced Researcher: Sub-millikelvin Technology

Leiden Cryogenics, Leiden, Netherlands

Contract Type: Fixed term for 24 months
Closing Date: 4 November 2013
Send application to: giorgio@leidencryogenics.com

Applications are invited for a new research post with a world-leading inventor and manufacturer of cryogenic equipment Leiden Cryogenics, who recently pioneered new sub-millikelvin technology.


This Experienced Researcher post arises as part of a large-scale Marie Curie Initial Training Network S3NANO (http://www.s3nano.eu/) joining 12 leading European groups in spin physics research and low-temperature technology. In this post, you will carry out development of an advanced nuclear demagnetization for a dry dilution refrigerator system.

The candidate’s task would be to design and construct such a device to reach sub-millikelvin temperatures and also to measure them using a pulsed NMR and a Platinum thermometer. As part of the project you will work in close contact with a world-leading low-temperature research group of Prof L Kouwenhoven in Delft.

This post is supported by a generous salary and mobility allowance standard for Experienced Researcher posts in Marie Curie Initial Training Networks.

Who should apply: You will hold a physics or engineering degree relevant to low-temperature physics and technology. A PhD in low temperature physics is desirable.

Marie Curie rules: According to Marie Curie fellowship rules at the time of recruitment by Leiden Cryogenics (1) you will have a maximum of 5 years of research/work experience since obtaining the degree which formally allows you to embark on a doctorate; (2) you must not have resided or carried out your main activity in The Netherlands for more than 12 months in the 3 years immediately prior to recruitment under this project.

All formal and informal enquiries: Prof Giorgio Frossati, giorgio@leidencryogenics.com.
