The Deshpande lab has a postdoc opening as part of our newly awarded NSF Programmable Cloud Lab node AURORA. The postdoc will be central to the science of AURORA, focused on autonomous 2D heterostructure quantum device fabrication and measurement. The postdoc should have experience in two or more of (i) robotics/automation/AI, (ii) van der waals heterostructure fabrication, (iii) electron-beam lithography and device making, (iv) cryogenic (preferably dilution fridge) transport (or any other) measurement. Interested candidates may apply by emailing vikram.deshpande[at]utah.edu with their CV and the names of three references. The position is open until filled.

The Deshpande lab has projects for highly motivated grad students and undergrads.
