PostDoc

We are looking for a suitably qualified, self-driven individual to carry out independent research with focus on non-equilibrium phenomena in open and closed (quantum) systems. This research is part of the ERC Starting Grant 2013 project ESCQUMA that aims at exploring the equilibrium and out-of-equilibrium physics of many-body systems formed by atomic gases of highly excited atoms – so-called Rydberg atoms. The researcher will be an integral part of a team conducting research on this new physical system in search for novel collective phenomena and technological applications.

We are looking for a suitably qualified, self-driven and experienced individual to carry out independent research with focus on computational condensed matter physics. This research is part of the ERC Starting Grant 2013 project ESCQUMA that aims at exploring the equilibrium and out-of-equilibrium physics of many-body systems formed by atomic gases of highly excited atoms – so-called Rydberg atoms. The researcher will assume a senior role within a team conducting research on this new physical system in search for novel many-body phenomena and technological applications.

There are open PhD and postdoc positions in the new experimental quantum gases group led by Leticia Tarruell at ICFO. The group's research will focus on simulating condensed-matter physics problems using degenerate Bose and Fermi gases in non-standard optical lattices. Specific topics of interest include graphene and topological phases, quantum phase transitions in magnetic systems and multi-orbital models.

Start date: flexible.
Duration: up to 3 years.
Closing date for applications: September 15, or until the position is filled.
