About the role

Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) seeks a postdoctoral research associate to explore the frontier of quantum information science and plasma physics. The successful applicant will lay the theoretical foundation for QC-ADDS, publish in peer-reviewed journals, and present at conferences. The role involves joining a multidisciplinary team and contributing to transformative quantum computing research with expected collaboration across disciplines in a world-class lab environment.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
