Postdoctoral position in Toulouse-Theory/cold atoms and quantum chaos
position expired
CNRS/University Paul Sabatier, Toulouse, France
![]()
A postdoctoral position opens in autumn 2012
at the Quantware group of the
Laboratory
for Theoretical Physics, CNRS and University Paul Sabatier, Toulouse, France
(website http://www.quantware.ups-tlse.fr/).
This position is funded by the LABEX NEXT
in the framework of the
grant ENCOQUAM (engineering of complex quantum matter waves)
attributed to a team composed
of the permanent researchers
Bertrand Georgeot (theory)
(webpage http://www.lpt.ups-tlse.fr/spip.php?article28)
and David Guery-Odelin (experiments)
(webpage http://www.coldatomsintoulouse.com).
The research project is centered on theoretical studies of
the physics of cold atoms, Bose Einstein condensates, complex wave phenomena
and quantum chaos, in connection with experiments realized in the
cold atom group of David Guery-Odelin.
The candidate should have a good knowledge of quantum
mechanics, theoretical physics and computer
simulations. Expertise in quantum chaos,
cold atoms or quantum optics
would be a plus. Citizenship does not matter.
The Quantware group is part of the Laboratory
for Theoretical Physics at CNRS and University Paul Sabatier. The
Laboratory is also internationally recognized in the fields
of mesoscopic physics, many-body interaction systems, high Tc
superconductivity, quantum and classical chaos,
statistical physics.
The position is available for 18 months
and should be extendable to a total of two years.
In addition to the salary,
health insurance, retirement and unemployment benefits,
plus support for travels are provided. The successful candidate
is expected to take the position by autumn 2012, but the precise
date can be shifted by mutual agreement.
Applicants should provide a CV with the list of publications, a
motivation letter,
and arrange for two or more letters of recommendation
to be sent
(all preferably via e-mail) to:
