Postdoc Position on Optical Atomic Clocks

Postdoc Position on Optical Atomic Clocks

UvA - University of Amsterdam

Amsterdam, Netherlands

Our Ultracold Strontium Gases Group is offering a postdoc position on our QuantumDelta NL (QDNL) Ultracold Atom Quantum Sensing Testbed. QDNL advances quantum technology and brings it closer to applications by collaborating with industry, startups and users.

What are you going to do?

You will work on two projects. You and the QDNL team will design and build a highly reliable optical lattice clock, based on our AQuRA project. With our partners from VSL and VU, we will distribute the frequency reference of this clock through fibre links across the Netherlands and ultimately Europe. In parallel, you and the QDNL team will create continuously operating optical clocks (a superradiant clock and a zero-deadtime, multi-ensemble clock). Such a clock should ultimately be able to average down to a precision of 10^-18 in minutes instead of the hours needed by todays clocks. This benefit will unlock new possibilities from fundamental science to society.

Your experience and profile

  • A PhD in experimental ultracold atom or trapped ion physics
  • Motivation to work with an ambitious and nice team in a challenging, but rewarding, research field
  • Good command of English
