We're always seeking highly qualified people to join the laboratory. See Positions page for details regarding Postdoctoral,Graduate, and UndergraduateStudent opportunities on two projects:
1) Quantum simulations of many body physics: To study the non-equilibrium behaviour of quantum gas mixtures, especially under the influence of artificial gauge fields. Candidates with interest or experience in atomic physics are especially encouraged to apply.
2) Hybrid quantum systems: To design and implement a system that incorporates ultracold quantum gases and solid state quantum devices through atom chip technologies. Candidates with interest or experience in quantum device fabrication are especially encouraged to apply.
B.Sc. Student (expected 2016)
