Not funded by a EU programmeIs the Job related to staff position within a Research Infrastructure? NoOffer Description ICFO is offering a postdoctoral position to a well-qualified, highly motivated and dynamic young scientist who wishes to enhance his/her scientific career in a friendly and stimulating environment.The successful candidate will be joining the Atomic Quantum Optics group led by Prof. Dr. Morgan Mitchell .The group has several active research topics focused on hot-vapor quantum sensors, including miniaturization of optically-pumped magnetometers for magnetoencephalography (MEG) and magnetocardiography, zero- and ultra-low-field nuclear magnetic resonance, and radio-frequency field detection using magnetometers. We work with a variety of international partners, including industrial leaders in biomagnetic instrumentation, in vapor cell miniaturization, and in laser development for atomic sensors. We also have a strong track record of exploring quantum effects such as entanglement and squeezing in atomic vapors.The successful candidate will be expected to contribute to experimental progress in at least one of the above research areas.Candidates must hold an internationally-recognized Ph.D.-equivalent degree (or evidence of its completion in the nearest future) preferably in experimental atomic physics, quantum optics, or related fields.The candidate should have a proven track record of experimental research with atomic and optical methods, and the ability to lead a small, diverse team of PhD and Master students. Ability to model quantum optical interactions with atoms and to interact with theory collaborators is also desirable.Languages: ENGLISHLevel: ExcellentAdditional Information Salaries for ICFO Postdoctoral positions are assigned by the Selection Committee, based on experience and seniority of the applicant, as well as the assigned tasks and responsibilities within the group.
