Oxford, United Kingdom University of Oxford Full time
Applications are invited for a Postdoctoral Research Assistant in Ultracold atoms .   The post is available initially for a fixed-term duration of 2 years, with the possibility of an extension subject to funding. This post is full time.   This project will involve adapting and using our existing ultracold erbium and potassium machine for studies of e.g. turbulence, dipolar supersolids and polarons.   We are seeking an enthusiastic Postdoctoral Research Assistant to help in the development and implementation of this research programme. Duties will also include preparing reports, presentations and scientific papers, and assisting with the supervision of graduate students.   The post-holder will have the opportunity to teach.   Applicants should possess or be close to completing a doctorate in physics or a related field and ideally have a strong background in experimental quantum optics or atomic physics. Previous experience in the field ultracold atoms will be highly desirable.   Candidates will be expected to demonstrate a proven track record of high-quality experimental research.   Please direct enquiries about the role to Prof. Robert Smith (robert.smith@physics.ox.ac.uk)   Only applications received by 12 noon (UK time) on 22nd July 2024 can be considered. You will be required to upload a statement of research interests, CV and details of two referees as part of your online application.
