QUROPE Quantum Information Processing and Communication in Europe

Location

*Postdoctoral position in Experimental Quantum Optics / Ultracold atoms*

The new group of Prof. Stefan Kuhr at the University of Strathclyde, Glasgow, invites applications for a Postdoc position. The research project focuses on single-site imaging and manipulation of ultracold atoms in optical lattices. These novel techniques will be used for quantum simulation of strongly correlated many-body systems and for scalable quantum information processing. More information can be found at http://phys.strath.ac.uk/information/acadstaff/stefan.kuhr.php and by contacting Stefan Kuhr.

*Conditions & Starting date*
This is a full-time position (Grade 7 'Research Associate') opening in Mai 2011. Appointment at a later date is also possible. The initial contract duration is two years, renewable up to a total of four years. Resettlement cost will be covered.

*Qualification and Expertise*
You should hold a PhD in Physics and have a background in quantum optics and ultracold atoms. Technical knowledge on electronics, lasers, vacuum systems and data analysis would be of advantage.

*Application*
Applications should include a CV with:

• personal information
• education, including full academic track record
• list of publications
• list of talks & poster presentations
• short summary of past research projects
• names and contact addresses of two references

Please send the application directly to Stefan Kuhr (stefan [dot] kuhr [at] strath [dot] ac [dot] uk).
