Postdoc position in Cambridge
This post will be affiliated with the Quantum Gases & Collective Phenomena Research Unit within AMOP. The work will focus on experimental realization of quantum simulators based on ultracold atomic gases. These highly flexible quantum systems can provide us with better understanding of many paradigms in statistical and condensed matter physics. In particular, better understanding of collective behavior in strongly correlated matter can shed new light on some still poorly understood "real" solid state systems, such as high temperature superconductors. Topics of particular interest will include coherence in weakly coupled layered 2D systems, disorder, quantum dynamics, and quantum engineering of long-range interaction in atomic gases.
Applicants should have a PhD in physics or a closely related field, and have strong experimental experience in atomic or condensed matter physics. Experience with ultracold atom techniques and theory of many body systems would be an advantage.
