Postdoctoral Research Associate in Experimental Quantum Mixtures
6 days ago
Closing date: 02/07/2025
Salary range:£37,174 - £41,671
FTE:1 (35 hours/week)
Term: Fixed (24 months)
Applications are invited for a postdoctoral research associate to join the Quantum Fluids team to work on a new ultracold quantum mixtures experiment as part of the Principal Investigator’s Royal Society funded University Research Fellowship. This research project will explore the role that vortices, topologically-protected defects, play in both supporting and destroying emergent quantum phenomena, such as superfluidity and superconductivity. We will study vortex dynamics in a binary superfluid formed from a mixture of ultracold rubidium and potassium atoms, with a particular emphasis on reduced dimensionality (e.g., quasi-2D disc, or quasi-1D ring geometries) where quantum fluctuations are enhanced. We will implement dynamically configurable optical potentials, together with a high-resolution microscope objective to directly visualise the vortex dynamics, and to study the interaction between vortices and pinning potentials, of relevance to almost all superfluid and superconducting systems from ultracold Bose-Einstein condensates to neutron stars.
We are seeking a highly motivated experimental researcher who will be responsible for continuing the development of the experimental platform - a state-of-the-art K-Rb quantum-mixture apparatus, as well as benchmarking new techniques, and assisting in planning and implementing initial experiments on vortex dynamics in superfluid mixtures. The successful applicant will work closely with the Principal Investigator on both development of the experimental apparatus and running subsequent experiments, including developing pipelines for data analysis. They will be an integral part of the team comprised of the PI and two PhD students and will assist with the training and mentoring of these students.
Interviews will take place in July 2025. Part-time or flexible working may be possible, contact Dr. Kali Wilson to discuss further.
