Postdoc positions – 2019 in Universiteit van Amsterdam, Netherlands
Universiteit van Amsterdam, Netherlands invites application for
Postdoc positions – 2019 from eligible and interested candidates
Designation/Position- Postdoc positions – 2019
About- Research group is looking for two highly-motivated Postdocs with excellent laboratory skills for performing state-of-the-art atomic physics experiments within the Quantum Flagship project iqClock.
The strontium quantum gases group, headed by Prof. Florian Schreck, is part of the Quantum Gases and Quantum Information (QG&QI) cluster at the University of Amsterdam. The main focus of the group is the exploitation of Sr quantum gases for novel precision measurement techniques and the study of many-body physics.
Research/Job Area- Physics or a related field
Location- Universiteit van Amsterdam, Netherlands
Eligibility/Qualification–
You hold a PhD in physics or a related field and are requested to motivate why you apply for the position and to supply a CV.
Other skills/experiences/documents that would benefit your application are:
- previous laboratory experience in an atomic physics lab;
- working knowledge of a programming language (matlab, C++ or equivalent);
- excellent English oral and written communication skills;
- scientific publications.
To foster diversity in our research group, we will especially appreciate applications from excellent female candidates.
Job/Position Description- This project has three parts. In one part we will create a superradiant laser on a kHz line transition, collaborating with the group of Jan Thomsen in Copenhagen. In the second part we’ll attempt to build a superradiant clock on the mHz line of Sr together with the group of Michał Zawada in Torun. The third part will be the exploration of the foundations of superradiant lasing in Amsterdam. Our ideas for this part range from the study of many-body effects in driven-interacting systems to cavity-cooling of a stream of atoms to quantum degeneracy, forming a continuous atom laser. The work will be executed in a team of two PhD students, another postdoc, Florian Schreck and an extensive network of collaborators.
Research group also expect you to assist in guiding PhD students and master students.
The appointment will be on a temporary basis for the period of two to maximum three years (initial appointment will be for a period of 12 months and after satisfactory evaluation it can be extended).
The monthly gross salary will range between €2,640 and €4,166 (scale 10), based on a full-time appointment. We offer a pension scheme, a holiday allowance of 8% per year, an end-of-year bonus of 8,3% and flexible employment conditions. Conditions are based on the Collective Labour Agreement for Dutch Universities. Favourable tax agreements may apply to non-Dutch applicants.

- a curriculum vitae;
- a motivation letter that explains why you have chosen to apply for this specific position with a statement of your research experience and interests and how these relate to this project;
- title and summary of your PhD thesis.
Please make sure all your material is attached in only one pdf. The single pdf can be uploaded in the field marked CV in the application form.
We will consider applications as they are received with flexible starting dates, and the positions will remain open until two suitable candidates have been identified (Formal closing date is 31 December 2018). #LI-DNP
€2,640 to €4,166 gross per month
