Are you eager to perform quantum simulations in a lively, international research group? Do you enjoy creating complex machines that have never existed before? Do you want to explore physics that nobody else has seen? If yes, then you might want to join a research group specialized in ultracold strontium for an Sr tweezer experiment.
The team pioneers methods to manipulate individual strontium atoms in optical tweezers and makes use of those methods for quantum simulations. There is a range of interesting research avenues ahead, such as exploring 3D spin-systems, dynamics of spin excitations on fractals, or using qudits. The team is embedded in a national quantum computing team, strongly collaborating with a quantum computing team at another technical university.
What you do
- You will further develop the quantum simulation/computing approach.
- This includes experimental work with the tweezer machine, such as debugging and data taking.
- You will design and construct upgrades to the machines.
- You will perform data analysis and literature research.
- You will write articles and contribute to the acquisition of funding.
- You are asked to become independent by taking initiative and developing your own creative ideas.
- You will also take an active role in group activities, such as master and PhD student education.
- You will present your work and contribute to the maintenance of lab organization.
- You will engage in societal and stakeholder outreach.
What they ask
- A recent PhD in experimental ultracold atom or trapped ion physics.
- Great team working skills.
- Initiative and good management skills.
- Good communication skills in oral and written English.
Practical
- The UFO profile Researcher is applicable.
- A favourable tax agreement, the ‘30% ruling’, may apply to non-Dutch applicants.
- The Collective Labour Agreement of Universities of the Netherlands is applicable.
- The organization encourages you to continue to professionalise through training courses and open lectures.
- Relocating to the Netherlands with your family? Find out about daycare, schooling, health insurance or employment options and support for your partner or spouse, including a network which provides support through various training sessions, social activities, and networking events.
- As an employer, the organization maintains an equal opportunities policy. We value diversity and are fully committed to being a place where everyone feels at home. We nurture inquisitive minds and perseverance and allow room for persistent questioning. With us, curiosity and creativity are the prevailing culture. If you meet the educational requirements but not yet all of the requested experience, the organization encourages you to apply anyway.
