Los Alamos National Laboratory is seeking a Postdoctoral Research Associate for the Explosive Applications and Special Projects Group (M-6) within the Dynamic Experiments Division. The position is based onsite in Los Alamos, New Mexico, and focuses on the initiation and performance of high explosives through mechanical, thermal, and electromagnetic mechanisms. The researcher will contribute to projects involving non-shock initiation of high explosives, high-explosive-driven pulsed power, special...

Los Alamos National Laboratory’s Applied Electrodynamics Group (AOT-AE) is seeking one or more postdoctoral research associates in accelerator science. The group is based at the Los Alamos Neutron Science Center (LANSCE) accelerator site in Los Alamos, New Mexico, and conducts accelerator research, design, commissioning, operations, and project support. The successful researcher will contribute to one or more projects involving LANSCE accelerator operations and upgrades, SCORPIUS/ECSE, compact a...

The Ultracold Strontium Group at the University of Amsterdam’s Institute of Physics is recruiting a PhD researcher to help build and operate a zero-deadtime optical clock . The project focuses on overcoming the pulsed operation of current optical clocks by enabling continuous interrogation of ultracold strontium atoms, with the goal of reaching ultimate precision in minutes rather than hours. You will work on a highly experimental project that combines laser systems, optics, electronics, debuggi...

This postdoctoral project at the University of Twente focuses on the physics of wafer-to-wafer bonding for future 3D chip integration . The work addresses an important challenge in semiconductor technology: understanding how surface properties and wafer morphology influence bonding quality, rather than relying on empirical optimization alone. You will develop and validate experimental methods to study wafer bonding in a quantitative, physics-based way. The project combines bonding measurements w...

This postdoctoral project sits at the intersection of experimental atomic physics, precision optics, and quantum technology. The work is embedded in the University of Amsterdam’s Institute of Physics and the Strontium Quantum Gases Group, led by Prof. Dr. Florian Schreck, and is carried out together with the group’s spin-off OpticsFoundry B.V. and in collaboration with the Nonlinear Nanophotonics group at the University of Twente. The project focuses on developing technology to robotically manuf...

The NSF Quantum Leap Challenge Institute for Robust Quantum Simulation at the University of Maryland offers a RQS Postdoctoral Fellowship for researchers working on quantum simulation in a collaborative, multi-institutional environment. The Institute is led by the University of Maryland and includes researchers at Duke, Princeton, Yale, and Harvard Universities. Its research spans experimental and theoretical approaches to both analog and digital quantum simulation, organized around three major ...

Columbia University’s Department of Physics is recruiting for the 2027 Max Planck Postdoctoral Research Scientist, a postdoctoral research position co-sponsored by the New York Max Planck Center for Nonequilibrium Quantum Physics and a Columbia faculty member. The appointment is intended for outstanding young scientists with research interests in physics pursued at Columbia. The successful researcher will carry out experimental and/or theoretical work aligned with the scientific objectives of th...

This PhD project investigates deep tissue imaging with nonlinear microscopy and adaptive optics at the Institute of Biomedical Physics, Medical University of Innsbruck, Austria. The doctoral researcher will work with an adaptive-optics nonlinear microscope built around a high-power pulsed laser system. The research will focus on novel methods for correcting optical aberrations and light scattering in thick tissue, with the goal of extending imaging depth beyond the current state of the art. Appl...

WPI-QUP and KEK are seeking theory postdoctoral researchers in Japan. The openings are intended for researchers working in theoretical physics who are interested in connecting theoretical ideas with experiments and observations. The positions offer an opportunity to pursue theory-driven research in an environment linked to the Kavli Institute for the Physics and Mathematics of the Universe Quantum Universe (WPI-QUP) and the Theory Center at the High Energy Accelerator Research Organization (KEK)...
