Dear Colleagues,

Apologies if you receive this information more than once. Please find the latest job opening in my group below.

Best wishes,
Andreas

*****************************************

Applications are invited for a research associate investigating Theoretical Condensed Matter Physics/Quantum Optics at the Cavendish Laboratory, University of Cambridge.

The successful candidate will join the research group of Dr. Andreas Nunnenkamp, and will investigate inter alia feedback control and reservoir engineering, topological phases of light and sound as well as disorder and synchronization in multimode optomechanics. The role is funded by the H2020 FET proactive grant "Hybrid Optomechanical Technologies". The close collaboration with partner institutions, e.g. HITACHI Cambridge Lab and EPFL, is planned.

The candidate must hold (by the start date) a PhD in theoretical quantum optics, condensed matter theory, or closely related discipline. Strong background in the theory of open and/or many-body quantum systems is highly desirable. Background in optomechanics is desirable, but is not essential. The candidate should have a publication record commensurate with career stage and must be able to demonstrate a capacity for independent research.

The appointment will be on the Research Associate scale at a level determined by skills and experience. Expenses for travel and computing associated with the project will be provided. The position is available immediately, start date negotiable, but no later than 1st Oct 2018.

Limit of tenure: The funds for this post are available for 24 months in the first instance.
