Applications are invited for appointment as Post-doctoral Fellows in all-optical ultracold atom-ion hybrid experiments inside a multimode confocal cavity in the Department of Physics (Ref.: 530808), to commence as soon as possible for 12 months, with the possibility of renewal subject to funding availability and satisfactory performance.
Applicants should possess a Ph.D. degree in Physics or relevant areas. Those with experience in atomic, molecular and optical (AMO) experiments are welcome to apply. The appointees will work with Prof. Zhendong Zhang to pursue research in all-optical trapping and manipulation of ultracold ions and atoms enabled by synthetic micro-optical modes inside a multimode cavity. Prof. Zhang’s research interests cover topics in AMO physics, including quantum simulation of strongly correlated physics, ultracold chemistry and precision measurements. The current publications of Prof. Zhang can be found at:
A competitive salary commensurate with qualifications and experience will be offered, in addition to annual leave and medical benefits. At current rates, salaries tax does not exceed 15% of gross income.
