Description: |
Open Date: November 12, 2021 Closed Date: February 13, 2022 We Are: The Fermilab's Superconducting Quantum Materials and Systems (SQMS) Center was established by the National Quantum Initiative Act as a hub in a new collaborative ecosystem built from national labs, universities, and leading companies. The mission of the SQMS Center is to build ground-breaking new quantum science platforms that exploit superconducting radio frequency cavities and superconducting qubits for quantum information science (QIS) in the area of quantum computing, quantum sensing and quantum physics experiments. The SQMS Carolyn B. Parker Fellowship is available to Black and African American scholars with a background in physics, engineering, mathematics or computer science seeking a research assistantship. This is a unique opportunity to engage with the National Quantum Information Science Research Center, Superconducting Quantum Materials and Systems Center (SQMS) to build and deploy a beyond the-state-of-the-art quantum computer based on superconducting technologies. Carolyn B. Parker Carolyn Beatrice Parker is the first African-American woman known to have earned a postgraduate degree in physics. She earned two master's degrees, one in mathematics from the University of Michigan in 1941 and one in physics from MIT in 1951. Ms. Parker was one of a small number of African-American scientists and technicians on the Manhattan Project. She worked as a physicist from 1943 to 1947 on the Dayton Project, the plutonium research and development arm of the Manhattan Project. Leukemia identified as an occupational risk for workers on the Dayton Project in 2008. Ms. Parker's completion of a doctorate in physics at MIT was short-circuited by leukemia that claimed her life at age 48 in 1966. The Carolyn B. Parker Fellowship is a 3-year appointment with the possibility for extension of up to two (2) additional years. You Will:
