Lecturers (Four posts) in Experimental Cold Atom Physics
Four permanent academic posts at the Lecturer level are available in the
newly formed Midlands
Ultra cold Atom Research Centre (MUARC) in the Schools of Physics and Astronomy at the
Universities of Birmingham and
MUARC will focus on interdisciplinary research at
the interface between cold atom, condensed matter, and optical physics. It will
build on, and integrate with, our large established programmes in condensed
matter physics, nanoscience, and cold atom/condensed matter theory – thus
producing a step change in the
Ultra
cold atom experimentalists are now required with a proven track record for
internationally-leading work in areas including, but not limited to: bosonic and
fermionic quantum gases, strongly correlated systems, long-range interactions
(e.g. Rydberg atoms, ion-neutral mixtures, dipolar gases, molecules),
atom-surface interactions, quantum measurement, atom-photon interfaces, and the
applications of quantum gases (interferometers, sensors, quantum information
processing). The focus of the
Proven ability to lead experimental projects, both independently and in collaboration, and to work closely with theoretical colleagues, is highly desirable. The successful candidates will play a key role in establishing and shaping MUARC. They will be expected to contribute effectively to teaching in the two Schools, which were both rated Excellent by the Quality Assurance Agency. Candidates must have a PhD in experimental Physics.
