    Full Time, Fixed Term contract up to 2 years, with possible extension up to 5 years

    Atom interferometry has become a versatile tool for fundamental research and, more recently, has started to move out of the laboratory towards quantum sensing for a wide range of applications.

    The Quantum Sensing Group at the University of Birmingham is now seeking candidates to undertake research into cold atom gravity gradient sensing, for use in practical applications.

    This includes candidates who are eager to undertake research next generation atom interferometers, focussing on miniaturisation and operation on mobile platforms within the UK Quantum Technology Hub in Sensing and Timing.

    This will include research into cutting-edge techniques such as large momentum transfer, optimal phase control and spatially resolved single-shot detection.

    Successful candidates will be based in the Quantum Technology laboratories at Birmingham, and will join a group which is home to five atom interferometry experiments including systems based on rubidium and strontium.

    We are active within the UK Quantum Technology Hub in Sensing and Timing, working closely with industry, and the Atom Interferometry Observatory and Network consortium, investigating future use of atom interferometers for detection of gravitational waves and dark matter.

    The group is comprised of people with a diverse range of backgrounds, and includes people with a range of skills across physics and engineering.

    We are seeking individuals with a background in experimental physics, who are excited by research and who have a keen interest in technology development.

    Research and apply novel techniques for atom interferometry gravity gradient measurements, for applied sensing
    Generate and contribute to research outputs
    Analyse and interpret research findings and results
    Be active in research proposal development and contribute to generating funding
    Perform experimental research into atom interferometry, with opportunities to provide leadership over an experimental area of the group
    Project reporting and liaison with industry and academic project partners
    Management of local project team and activities under supervision of project leader
    Contribute to writing bids for research funding
    Dissemination of research findings such as through publications, research seminars, and to the public etc
    Supervise students on research related work and provide guidance to PhD students
    Perform research to develop new models, techniques and methods, including intellectual property
    Collect, analyse and interpret research data; this may be through a variety of research methods, such as scientific experimentation, literature reviews, and research interviews
    Deal with problems that may affect the achievement of research objectives and deadlines
    Promote equality and diversity values acting as a role model and fostering an inclusive working culture.
    Postgraduate degree in Physics or Engineering and a higher degree in experimental Physics or related discipline, or equivalent qualifications
    Experience in relevant experimental techniques from atom interferometry, or atomic, molecular, and optical physics, and/or relevant related technical areas (such as underpinning hardware including lasers, electronics, ultra-high vacuum)
    Adaptable to project management structures, such as conventional and agile project management approaches
    Ability to contribute to the planning and organising of the research programme and/or specific research project

    We believe there is no such thing as a 'typical' member of University of Birmingham staff and that diversity in its many forms is a strength that underpins the exchange of ideas, innovation and debate at the heart of University life.

    We are committed to proactively addressing the barriers experienced by some groups in our community and are proud to hold Athena SWAN, Race Equality Charter and Disability Confident accreditations.
