Quantum Metrology Researcher in Amsterdam

4 weken geleden


Amsterdam, Noord-Holland, Nederland Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam Voltijd

We are seeking a highly motivated PhD researcher to join our Quantum Metrology and Laser Applications group at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. Our research focuses on precision measurements of atomic and molecular systems using advanced laser techniques and techniques to cool the motion of atoms and molecules.

The successful candidate will have a strong background in physics or physical chemistry, with experience in atomic/molecular/optical physics and/or molecular spectroscopy. They will work in an international and stimulating environment, contributing to the development of novel quantum technologies for precision measurements.

As a member of our team, you will be involved in developing a novel cryogenic ion trap for quantum-logic spectroscopy using H2+ and Be+ ions. You will also develop a continuous-wave laser system at 313nm to laser cool Be+ ions, which will then be used for sympathetic cooling of the molecular ions.

The project aims to measure the level structure of weakly-bound molecular states of H2+ with unprecedented accuracy using novel quantum technologies. These transitions in the microwave and THz range are particularly sensitive to the proton-to-electron mass ratio (mp/me) and exotic spin-dependent interactions.

About the Position

This is a full-time position (1.0 FTE) for a duration of 4 years, with a salary ranging from €2,872.00 to €3,670.00 gross per month, depending on education and experience. We offer a dynamic and inclusive work environment, opportunities for professional growth, and a comprehensive benefits package.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Developing novel quantum technologies for precision measurements
  • Conducting experiments to measure the level structure of weakly-bound molecular states of H2+
  • Collaborating with international colleagues to advance the field of quantum metrology
  • Presenting research findings at conferences and publishing papers in peer-reviewed journals

We believe that diversity and internationalisation contribute to the quality of our research, education, and services. Therefore, we welcome applications from candidates with diverse backgrounds and experiences.
