We are looking for a research fellow / Ph.D. student (m/f/d) to further develop and improve the Gravimetric Atom-Interferometer (GAIN) for participation in the joint project ATOMAQUA.

ATOMAQUA is a new BMBF funded joint endeavor bringing together academic institutions and industry to employ quantum technologies to address challenges in, e.g., environmental protection and the optimal use of natural resources. Specifically, this project will use atom Interferometry for quantitative measurements on underground water reservoirs.

Job description:

• scientific services in research in the ATOMAQUA project
• develop and implement novel atom interferometry schemes using combinations of electro-optical modulators and high-finesse optical resonators
• participate in GAIN measurement campaigns
• work closely with postdoctoral fellows, other doctoral candidates and master students
• interact intensively with academic and industrial partners in the ATOMAQUA collaboration
• present research results in international journals and conferences
• possibility to work on your own scientific qualification (doctoral degree)

Requirements:

• completed scientific university education in physics (or a related field with appropriate specialization)
• good team spirits and ability to work effectively in a collaboration

Beneficial qualifications:

• practical experience with ultra-cold atoms / molecules and /or atom interferometry
• expertise in the development and /or characterization of laser systems for laser cooling or precision measurement applications
• general laboratory skills (especially: optics, opto-mechanics, opto-electronics, RF-electronics)
• good knowledge of analog and digital electronics
• programming skills (preferably with experience in Python)
• experience in computer aided design (preferably Autodesk)
• gender and diversity sensitivity
