英国伦敦大学学院2024年招聘研究员（实验AMO物理学）

伦敦大学学院（University College London，简称：UCL），位于英国伦敦，是一所公立研究型大学，也是第一所在伦敦成立的大学。学校是罗素大学集团和欧洲研究型大学联盟的成员，被誉为金三角名校之一。

Research Fellow in Experimental AMO Physics

University College London

Application Deadline Deadline:

17 November 2024

About the role

There is an immediate opening to work in the group of Dr. Luke Caldwell on a new platform for probing hadronic CP violation using deformed nuclei embedded in ultracold triatomic molecules. The successful applicant will help develop an apparatus to laser cool Yb atoms and CaF molecules and load them into arrays of optical tweezer traps. Pairs of Yb atoms and CaF molecules will then be associated into triatomic YbCaF molecules.

The postholder will work closely with Dr. Luke Caldwell to deliver the research goals. It is expected that they will present their work at international conferences and take part in visits with international collaborators.

This position is funded by UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) for 2 years in the first instance. The start date can be flexible.

Candidates will need to upload a CV (including a list of publications), a statement of research interests and plans (3 pages maximum – less is fine), and the contact information for three references.

About you

The successful applicant will have (or be about to obtain) a PhD in experimental physics or a closely related area. A strong background in atomic, molecular and optical physics is essential.

The post holder will be expected to take a leading role in the planning and execution of the experiment and so must have experience and familiarity with the techniques used in laser cooling of atoms and/or molecules. Other duties will include working with graduate and undergraduate students in the group, engaging in outreach activities, and contributing to peer reviewed publications. Excellent written and verbal communication skills are essential.

Knowledge of optical tweezer trapping or techniques for associating molecules from atoms is desirable but not essential.

Appointment at Grade 7 is dependent upon having been awarded a PhD; if this is not the case, initial appointment will be a Research Assistant Grade 6B (salary £38,357 - £41,005 per annum, inclusive of London Allowance) with payment at Grade 7 being backdated to the date of final submission of the PhD thesis.
