Postdoctoral Fellow in Experimental Quantum Optics and Cold Atom Physics
Conduct cutting-edge research on ultracold erbium atoms to explore novel fractional quantum Hall physics.
Best for:Best for experimental physicists with a PhD in quantum optics or atomic, molecular, and optical (AMO) physics.
Overview
The Quantum Optics group at the Institute for Applied Physics, University of Bonn, is seeking a postdoctoral fellow to join their research team. The position focuses on investigating ultracold atomic erbium gases with the primary objective of observing novel fractional quantum Hall physics. The successful candidate will engage in experimental research using ultracold atomic systems and optical micro-resonators. The appointment is initially offered for one year with the possibility of extension. Applicants are expected to hold a relevant doctorate and contribute actively to advancing their scientific career.
