Postdoctoral position in atom-opto-mechanical systems

项目介绍

In the Hybrid Quantum Systems Laboratory, we develop quantum technologies for sensing and tests of fundamental physics. If you have a passion for highly collaborative, experimental research this is for you!

About us

The Hybrid Quantum Systems Laboratory is a new laboratory at Chalmers in the division for Quantum Technology at the department for Microtechnology and Nanoscience (MC2). We offer a newly renovated lab space and a state-of-the-art nanofabrication facility.

About the research project 
The aim of the project is to develop a hybrid quantum system capable of generating macroscopic quantum states of motion. To achieve this, we will couple a single atom in an optical tweezer to a mecanical oscillator. On the way to this goal, we will advance the state-of-the-art in nanomechanics, optomechanics and cavity quantum electrodynamics. This is a highly multidisciplinary project involving nanofabrication, optomechanics and experimental atomic physics.

We seek candidates with the following qualifications:

A Ph.D. in 

  • Physics
  • Applied Physics
  • Nanotechnology
  • Photonics
  • Electrical Engineering
  • or other relevant field is required.

To qualify for the position of postdoc, you must hold a doctoral degree awarded no more than three years prior to the application deadline. 

The position requires sound verbal and written communication skills in English. 

You are expected to be somewhat accustomed to teaching, and to demonstrate good potential within research and education.

* The date shown in your doctoral degree certificate is the date we use, as this is the date you have met all requirements for the doctoral degree. Exceptions from the 3-year limit can be made for longer periods resulting from parental leave, sick leave or military service.

The following experience will strengthen your application:

  • Experimental atomic physics
  • Optics
  • Photonics
  • Optomechanics
  • Nanofabrication
  • Nanomechanics
  • Cryogenics

What you will do
As a postdoctoral researcher, your main responsibilities are to lead and conduct research in collaboration with others, and to coach PhD students. You will be expected to develop your skills, the team, and contribute with your creative ideas. We value a collaborative attitude and an interest in working both independently and collaboratively in a team environment, sharing best practices and assuming responsibility. Self-motivation, attention to detail, and a creative problem-solving ability are important personal qualities for these positions. We highly value a collaborative spirit, a commitment to inclusive teamwork, and a drive for continuous learning and professional growth, ensuring a supportive environment for all team members.

What we offer
