Postdoctoral Research Fellow--Quantum Sensing

Postdoctoral Research Fellow- Quantum Sensing

Delaware State University, Dover, DE

Job Description

The Atom Photonics Lab at Delaware State University is currently seeking an applicant for a postdoctoral position in quantum sensing. This person will work on a DoD funded research project on cold-atom Raman clock and magnetometry, and spin-squeezing enhanced sensitivity. In particular, the person will plan, develop and conduct experiments on cold-atom based Raman clock and magnetometry. This involves developing and operating cold-atom systems, atomic clock development using Raman-Ramsey technique, magnetometry using synchronous coherent population trapping, and developing experimental platforms for implementing spin-squeezing protocols in atomic clock and magnetometry. Additionally, the person will be responsible for purchasing and maintaining various equipment in the laboratory, assist in report writing, teach substitute lectures/laboratory sessions of classes, and provide training and guidance to undergraduate and graduate students working on the project.

Qualifications
The individual should have a PhD degree in Physics, Electrical Engineering or a closely related discipline with working experience in lasers, optics, electronics, and computer interfacing and programming in LabVIEW and Matlab. Familiarity with principles and techniques of atomic and optical physics is also required.
