2025 Opening for Experimental and Theoretical Postdoctoral Research Position

We are looking for a talented and motivated Postdocs to join our Dipolar Quantum Gases Labs (www.erbium.at) at the University of Innsbruck and IQOQI, Austria.   It is now an exciting time to work with ultracold highly-magnetic quantum gases, thrived by the new control and interaction opportunities opened by ultracold erbium and dysprosium for quantum science.

 

OPEN POSITION 2025: 

We are currently searching for  talented and motivated post-doctoral research associate for the following project:

Postdoc@Erbium LAB: Lattice-confined dipolar quantum gas, collective atom-light interaction, and quantum spin dynamics in magnetic atoms.

Postdoc@Theory: Theory of dipolar quantum gases and supersolid phases.

Join us if you are passionate about discovering the unique opportunities ultracold lanthanide atoms hold for quantum physics!

Candidate are required to have revious research experience in ultracold atoms and a solid knowledge on atomic physics.

 

HOW TO APPLY?

We are looking forward to your application! If you are interested, send an email to francesca-ferlaino-group@uibk.ac.at with subject line ‘2025 Postdoctoral Research Position application‘, including

1. a C.V.,
2. a letter of motivation,
3. transcript of exams, and
4. names and contact information of at least one reference person.

Requirements: A PhD in AMO Physics (and ideal on ultracold atoms) is required. Our group is strongly committed to ameliorate the gender balance in Physics at all level of the scientific career, we therefore particularly encourage applications from women.

Continuous hiring: The application will be reviewed on a rolling basis until the position is filled.

 

Junior and Senior postdoc status and duration will be discussed on individual basis.

 

ABOUT US:

The Dipolar Group is led by Prof. Francesca Ferlaino and it is jointly located at the University of Innsbruck (UIBK) and at the Institute for Quantum Optics and Quantum Information (IQOQI, www.iqoqi.at) of the Austrian Academy of Science. We work with the exotic and highly magnetic Erbium and Dysprosium atoms, either in the ground- or in highly excited Rydberg states. The group comprises four research teams, three experimental and one theoretical. Our three Labs works on Erbium and Dysprosium dipolar quantum gases, Er-Dy mixtures, and Er Rydberg Tweezers.
