Researcher in Ultrafast Quantum Entanglement of Light and Matter

About the role

Lund University's Mathematical Physics division, part of the Department of Physics, is looking for a researcher to carry out theoretical research on ultrafast quantum entanglement of light and matter. The position is fixed term for 2027, at 100% full time, and is covered by a local collective agreement on annual working hours.

Key responsibilities

• Develop analytical models and numerical implementations, and analyse the resulting data.
• Publish the scientific results and present them at international conferences.
• Support the research group and take part in research in the relevant subject area.
• Supervise students working on degree projects and theses.
• Assist with applications for external research funding.

Required profile

• PhD in the subject of the position.
• Very good oral and written English.
• Ability to work independently and strong collaboration skills.
• Knowledge of quantum entanglement between light and matter and of time-dependent quantum mechanics are advantages.

Required skills

• Experience with theoretical models and computational codes in atomic physics.
• Advanced programming skills and experience with computational codes in atomic physics are an advantage.

To apply, submit through the university's recruitment system with a CV, a personal letter explaining why you are interested and how you match the requirements, and a degree certificate or equivalent.
