Jermany: PhD position at the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics, Garching

PhD position at the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics, Garching, Germany.

A PhD position is available at the Max Planck Institute of Quantum
Optics in Garching, near Munich. The position is in the Max Planck
Independent Junior Research Group for Photonics, which is part of the Division
of Laser Spectroscopy and Ultracold Quantum Gases of Professor T.W.
Hänsch.

The group`s work is situated in the area of chip-based optical
micro-cavities. These structures can trap light in micro-scale volumes for
extended amounts of time, and find application in a variety of fundamental
and applied studies, ranging from telecommunications, nonlinear and
quantum optics, cavity quantum electrodynamics to lasers and biochemical
sensors.

The candidate has the possibility to join two recently started
projects, which pertain to the study of radiation pressure induced cavity
cooling of mechanical modes and to the generation of frequency combs using
microcavities. Furthermore, opportunities exist to work on new projects,
such as the on-chip generation and characterization of squeezed states
of light, or combining atomic micro-traps with chip-based optical
micro-cavities.

Requirements are a degree in Physics or related field, as well as a
keen interest in experiments at the interface of micro-fabrication with
quantum and nonlinear optics. Micro-fabrication experience is
advantageous but not required. Candidates with a completed diploma thesis in
AMO-Physics are particularly welcome to apply. Candidates are expected to
supervise Diploma students.

The PhD position is available as of December 1st 2006 or later. PhD
candidates will receive an EU contract for a duration of 3 years.

Interested students send their complete application package (including
CV, letter of motivation, and complete record of university grades) to
Dr. Tobias Kippenberg (tobias.kippenberg@mpq.mpg.de). More information
can be found under www.mpq.mpg.de/~tkippenb
