We usually respond within three days

What you’ll do

• Work on general physics problems related to the production and manipulation of cold intense beams of neutral atoms, both at the quantum and classical levels.
• Develop theoretical and numerical modeling of atom-light interactions for atomic beam manipulation.
• Design advanced laser cooling schemes and supervise their practical implementation.
• Develop numerical approaches to validate the theoretical models, with an emphasis on realistic engineering constraints.
• Collaborate across teams on theoretical, simulation, and experimental projects, producing simulation tools to be used by other teams.
• Produce and maintain high quality code and documentation, as well as review documentation and code written by colleagues.
• Mentor junior members of the team.
• Investigate novel physical solutions and understanding, at the forefront of AMO and cold-atoms physics.

Who you are

An expert AMO physicist with solid knowledge on atom light interactions, expertise in manipulation techniques of atomic beams and a deep understanding of atom optics and atomic physics. You thrive in a collaborative fast paced environment working on complex, interconnected, and evolving problems. With your expertise in the art of research you are highly capable of working on problems that may be ill defined or involve subjects that are outside your area of specialization.

Requirements

• PhD or equivalent level of experience in AMO Physics or closely related discipline.
• Significant experience with manipulation of atoms using light.
• Deep understanding of the core principles of atomic physics and atom-light interaction.
• Significant record of publications or strong thesis.
• Capable of performing back-of-the-envelope calculations to assess physics/engineering problems and proposals.
• Scientific curiosity and commitment to staying current with the latest literature and developments in the field.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with atom beams or supersonic sources.
• Hands on laboratory experience.
• Direct experience in the fields of atom optics, laser cooling, optical excitation, etc.
