Offer Description
ICFO is offering a postdoctoral position to a well-qualified, highly motivated, and dynamic young scientist who wishes to enhance his/her 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. The successful candidate will join a small team of PhD and post-doctoral researchers working to develop SBECs as detectors of these hypothesized new forces.
Candidates must hold an internationally-recognized 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.
