About this position
The James C. Wyant College of Optical Sciences at the University of Arizona invites applications for a Postdoctoral Research Associate position in theoretical quantum optics and open quantum systems. The role is based at the Tucson Campus and supports research conducted through DOE- and AFOSR-funded projects.
The research focuses on theoretical investigations of macroscopic quantum mechanics and microscopic thermodynamics using levitated nanoparticles, together with quantum optical effects near atomic arrays. The successful researcher will contribute to project-related theoretical studies and work within a research group engaged in multiple experimental collaborations.
The position offers an opportunity to develop research in areas including cavity QED, many-body atomic physics, atom arrays, levitated nanoparticles, quantum fluctuation phenomena, quantum electrodynamics, and AMO physics. The postdoctoral researcher will collaborate with the principal investigator and other group members, present findings at conferences, workshops, and seminars, develop an independent scientific portfolio, and mentor graduate and undergraduate students.
The research environment combines theoretical quantum optics and open quantum systems with connections to experimental collaborators in optical sciences and related physics communities.
