Predoctoral position at the Ultracold Quantum Gases Research Group

ICFO is offering 1 Predoctoral fellowship position to well-qualified graduate students, who wish to obtain a doctoral degree in the Ultracold Quantum Gases Research Group at ICFO. .

Our PhD-program brings together top-level training and teaching for young scientists , benefiting from the extensive course offerings of local universities and focused instruction by ICFO professors, in a stimulating, international and interdisciplinary environment . PhD-students have the opportunity to take advantage of our network of excellence , consisting in partners of national and international research institutes and universities, as well as industrial partners in the field.

The successful candidate will be joining the group led by . The group performs quantum simulations with ultracold quantum gases, using atoms to engineer novel forms of quantum matter and to solve problems that are hard to tackle by classical means.
They exploit atom-light interactions to engineer model quantum many-body systems in the laboratory. Its research lies at the interface between atomic physics, quantum optics, and many other areas of physics.

This fellowship is associated with the research project Generación de Conocimiento, funded by the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation.

Main Tasks and Responsibilities

The project aims at developing novel quantum simulation platforms with ultracold atoms, to investigate from the experimental point of view a broad spectrum of quantum many-body physics problems. More precisely, the PhD project will be carried out in one of the strontium experiments of the group, where ordered arrays of atoms which can be imaged individually simulate either Hubbard models for exploring the physics of strongly-correlated materials or spin models, to investigate problems ranging from low- to high-energy physics. We are looking for students with a solid physics background and very interested in tackling fundamental physics problems, and a passion for experimental physics and cutting edge technology.
