Postdoc
position in Bose-Einstein condensation and atom optics. (15 months)
The
atom optics group at the Institut d’Optique is looking for qualified candidates
for a postdoc position. The successful candidate will participate in experiments
on our recently successful Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) experiment
using metastable helium, and/or in ongoing experiments on BEC and atom
lasers using Rb.
In
this context one of our goals is to couple an atom laser into a microfabricated
waveguide as a step towards quantum manipulation of the internal and external
degrees of freedom of neutralatoms. These techniques will also be applied
to the development of integrated atom interferometers.
A
strong background in some area of experimental physics is desirable and
we would by no means exclude people with backgrounds other than laser cooling
and BEC.
