Job Summary
We are currently accepting applications for a Tenure-track position as an Ikerbasque Research Fellow. This is a unique opportunity for highly experienced experimental physicist to join the Quantum Science Lab in one of DIPC’s high-profile research teams.
Job Description & Benefits
Description:
The role
The DIPC, in collaboration with Ikerbasque (Basque Foundation for Science – http://www.ikerbasque.net), is seeking a highly motivated and experienced experimental physicist to join the Quantum Science Lab and take a leading role in the development of a new experimental line on quantum simulation with dysprosium atoms.
This new line of research will be embedded in the activities of the Quantum Science Lab at DIPC led by the PIs (F. Ferlaino and M. Mark), and aims to have close synergy with the local quantum theory group, as well as with national and international collaborators.
This is a researcher position with the opportunity to lead the scientific and technical development of a cutting-edge quantum experiment from its early stages and contribute to shaping the scientific strategy and execution of the project.
We offer a Ikerbasque Research Fellow position based in Donostia / San Sebastián, with full institutional support to establish a stable and impactful research program.
Desired background & competences
REQUIREMENTS:
A PhD in experimental AMO quantum physics (to be completed before 31.12.2023).
Demonstrated ability to lead and carry out advanced experimental research in quantum simulation.
Proven experimental experience in operating complex experimental setups involving optical lattices, cavity-enhanced architectures and quantum gas systems.
Specific expertise in working with complex multi-electron atoms (e.g., lanthanides), with a focus on magnetic species such as dysprosium, erbium, or related elements.
Strong technical proficiency in laser systems, vacuum technology, and electronic control systems.
Ability to develop and perform numerical simulations of ultracold quantum gas systems.
Strong programming skills for developing experiment control systems
Experience in supervising and mentoring graduate and/or undergraduate students in an experimental research environment.
Strong publication record in high-quality international peer-reviewed journals.
Willingness to develop and lead competitive research proposals for international funding programs (e.g., ERC, Horizon Europe, national agencies).
Excellent communication skills and a strong motivation to work in an international, collaborative research environment.
Commitment to contributing to a long-term, high-impact scientific vision, and to collaborating closely with the principal investigator in shaping the strategic direction of a major quantum experiment.
Very good command of English, both written and spoken, for effective scientific communication and collaboration.
