Rubicon Grants for Research Programme at Dutch Universities and Research Institutes

/ March 21, 2011 Leave a Comment

The aim of the Rubicon programme is to encourage talented researchers at Dutch universities and research institutes run by KNAW and NWO to dedicate themselves to a career in postdoctoral research. Rubicon offers researchers who have completed their doctorates in the past year the chance to gain experience at a top research institution outside the Netherlands (maximum of two years). Postgraduates who are currently engaged in doctoral research or who have been awarded a doctorate in the twelve months preceding the relevant deadline. Applicants who are still engaged in doctoral research may only apply if their supervisor provides a written declaration approving their thesis.

Proposals will be assessed on the basis of quality criteria (as listed in the brochure which can be downloaded from this website) and certain policy criteria.Multidisciplinary advisory committees will assess the applications.
The views of external referees will not be sought.
The final award decisions will be made by the boards of the relevant divisions/foundation.
The entire assessment procedure will take approximately 4 months.

Scholarship Application Deadline:31 March 2011

PhD Position in Ultracold Atomic Gases in Amsterdam, Netherlands

/ March 17, 2011 Leave a Comment

There is an open PhD position (4 years, full salary) in the atomic, molecular and laserphysics group of the VU University Amsterdam to setup an experiment for an ultracold mixture of metastable helium and rubidium.

The aim of the project is to observe Efimov trimers in an ultracold mixture of metastable helium and rubidium atoms. The large mass ratio between these two atomic species results in a dramatic reduction of the spacing between successive HeRbRb Efimov states, allowing a first experimental test of the periodicity of the Efimov spectrum. This research will lead to new insight in the emerging field of few-body physics with ultracold atoms, with the aim to better understand and control strongly interacting quantum matter.

Within the PhD project a new infrastructure for ultracold rubidium (87Rb) has to be built up and merged with an existing apparatus for laser cooling of metastable helium (including source and Zeeman slower).

We are searching for an experimental physicist who has already gathered experience in the field of laser cooling and trapping of atoms.

Starting date from 1st June 2011.
