ICFO Postdoctoral Position:

ICFO is offering a postdoctoral position to a well-qualified, highly motivated, and dynamic young scientist who wishes to enhance their 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.

Searches for new particles and forces using table-top experiments is an expanding frontier of fundamental physics.

Axions and axion-like particles (ALPs) are well-motivated dark matter candidates that could solve multiple open problems, including the strong-CP problem in nuclear physics and anomalous galaxy rotation rates.

If they exist, axions and ALPs would mediate a distinctive monopole-dipole force, detectable in principle with atomic magnetometer technologies.

Spinor Bose-Einstein condensates (SBECs) are ideal candidates to search for such forces, as they are extraordinarily coherent, very compact, and clean systems essential for understanding systematic effects.

Candidates must hold an internationally-recognised Ph.D.-equivalent degree (or evidence of its completion in the nearest future) preferably in Physics or closely related fields.

The candidate should have a proven track record of experimental atomic, molecular, and optical physics.

Experience with ultracold gases and/or tabletop searches for new physics is strongly desirable.

Requirements:

  • Internationally recognised Ph.D.-equivalent degree (or evidence of its completion in the nearest future)
  • Proven track record of experimental atomic, molecular, and optical physics
  • Experience with ultracold gases and/or tabletop searches for new physics

Additional 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.

Standard salaries range from a lower level aligned with national Ramon-y-Cajal fellowships to higher levels aligned with Marie Sklodowska-Curie individual fellowships.

The contract is offered for a period of 1 year.

Additionally, a family allowance is available on request and after corresponding approval for people with family charges in the terms described in the corresponding policy.

Eligibility Criteria:

ICFO is an equal opportunity employer.

Candidates are selected exclusively on merit and potential on the basis of submitted application material.

No restrictions related to disabilities, citizenship, or gender apply to ICFO positions.
