Job Description
PDRA in theoretical atomic and molecular physics \n Durham Applications are invited for two Postdoctoral Research Associates in theoretical atomic and molecular physics, to work in association with Prof Jeremy M Hutson, FRS, on the quantum mechanics involved in the formation and properties of ultracold molecules. \n The theoretical work is associated with EPSRC-funded research grants on:· Leveraging Yb clock states to form lattices of ²Σ CsYb molecules· Quantum many-body physics with ultracold polar molecules· Controlling collisions between laser-cooled molecules and atomsThe grants are in collaboration with the experimental groups of Prof Simon Cornish (Durham) and Prof Michael Tarbutt (Imperial College London), together with many-body physicists in London and Birmingham. \n We are now developing the use of these and other ultracold molecules for quantum science.Further details of the research group are available at and a description of recent research achievements and current projects is available in a link from there.They will develop quantum-mechanical scattering and bound-state methods and apply them to a variety of ultracold atomic and molecular systems.This post is fixed term for 24 months.
\n The post-holder is employed to work on research/a research project which will be led by Professor Jeremy M Hutson. Whilst this means that the post-holder will not be carrying out ind...
