Are you eager to work as a postdoc in the field of experimental quantum sensing with ultracold atoms, in the lively international research group of Profs. Philippe Bouyer and Florian Schreck?

Our research group focusses on harnessing the wave-like properties of cold atoms to realize new types of quantum sensors for fundamental physics, geoscience, and real-world applications such as position, navigation and timing. We have extensive experience developing state-of-the-art matter-wave interferometers for sensing accelerations, rotations, magnetic fields, and testing fundamental theories of gravity and electrodynamics.

We are looking for an experienced researcher to aid the development of a transportable inertial quantum sensor with cold atoms. This project included the development of a new experiment at UVA aiming at using advanced quantum control techniques to perform continuous atom interferometry. It also includes a collaboration between the Quantum Gas group at UVA, the University of New Brunswick in Canada, and quantum-tech companies Q-CTRL in Australia and the Quantum Valley Ideas Lab in Canada for the joint development of a transportable gravimeter. You will play a crucial role in developing metrology models for the inertial quantum sensor operation, and for building and assembling hardware components. You will have the opportunity to work for extended periods in Canada and interact directly with leading experts in academia and industry.

Are you a eager to apply optical clocks to real-world challenges and to explore new optical clock operating principles, all in a lively international research group?

Our Ultracold Strontium Gases Group is offering a postdoc position on our QuantumDelta NL (QDNL) Ultracold Atom Quantum Sensing Testbed. QDNL advances quantum technology and brings it closer to applications by collaborating with industry, startups and users.  Our group is headed by Prof. Florian Schreck and is part of the Quantum Gases & Quantum Information (QG&QI) cluster at the Institute of Physics (IoP) of the University of Amsterdam (UvA). We exploit ultracold Sr for quantum simulation, quantum sensing, and quantum computing.

The Van ‘t Hoff Institute for Molecular Sciences (HIMS) is one of eight institutes of the Faculty of Science of the University of Amsterdam (UvA). HIMS performs internationally recognized research in molecular sciences, both curiosity as well as application driven. This is partly done in cooperation with the chemical, energy, flavour & food, medical and high-tech industries. Within the Synthesis and catalysis cluster, the Homogeneous Catalysis (HomKat) is looking for a postdoctoral researcher to work in a project funded by Dutch Research Council (NWO).

Utilizing organic nonlinear optics (NLO) for data storage presents significant advantages over traditional inorganic-based counterparts, including eco-friendliness and sustainability. Despite these benefits, current organic NLO systems in data storage are limited due to their relatively low optical response. This project aims to overcome these limitations by exploring novel organic NLO systems with photoswitchable properties. 

Are you passionate about Deep Learning and Medical Imaging, specifically Adaptive Radiotherapy?

Then this position, embedded in the POP-AART lab between the University of Amsterdam, the Netherlands Cancer Institute (NKI) and Elekta is the right fit for you.

We are looking for a postdoctoral researcher with either Computer Vision, Machine Learning, or Applied Mathematics background to join a team of 15+ researchers (1+1 years contract); a team that is connected with the ELLIS Network of Excellence in AI; a team with consistent and strong presence in the top Machine Learning, as well as Computer Vision conferences and journals.

We are looking for a researcher carrying out part of a project on the socio-ecological impact of postgrowth housing scenarios. The overall project is intended to study the relation between income, housing tenure and ecological footprint, as well as to build possible scenarios of a socially just and ecologically sustainable housing system. The aim is to demonstrate differences in environmental impact that different existing and future housing models have. We will start with The Netherlands and them work at EU-level.

The Catalysis Engineering group focuses on developing sustainable chemical processes by combining chemical engineering, chemistry and materials science. We are looking for three highly motivated postdoctoral researcher to work in a project funded by the European Union.

Plastics have become essential in our daily lives. However, at the same time, they create a serious wasteproblem. Recycling waste plastics is of great importance for a sustainable society. Chemical recycling isone of the promising options to close the loop of plastics use. In this project, which is part of the recentlygranted EU project PLASTICE, we will develop liquefaction route for recycling the plastics waste, in collaboration with other partners of the consortium. This applied project aims to translate the results from the lab to a larger scale.

Are you interested in how the neocortex and thalamus interact with each other in the mammalian brain? Do you like physiological and behavioral experiments in rodents and wish to make ground-breaking discoveries? Are you excited by new ideas, new techniques, and unconventional approaches? If your answers are all yes, this project might be for you.

The project entitled “Understanding parallel communication in the brain using novel micro-optical probes” has recently been awarded the prestigious NWO M1 Grant that supports 36-month postdoctoral research. The project aims to understand how the enigmatic higher-order thalamic nuclei influence the cortex via parallel pathways. To do so, we will take an unprecedented approach combining a novel micro-optical probe (that has been recently developed) with electrophysiology, optogenetics, and calcium imaging in the rodent brain in vivo. We are looking for a highly skilled and enthusiastic postdoctoral researcher to conduct the research.
