Please apply here: https://apply.interfolio.com/64764

Description:
The candidate will carry an experimental investigation on a DARPA-funded project exploring the similarity between the decoherence of a quantum system and the incoherence of classical optical radiation. The aim is to employ this similarity to develop a new optical detection paradigm. The candidate should have strong experimental skills in IR/vis optics. An ability to perform modeling is a plus. This is a full time one-year position with possible renewals for the second and third year. The renewal is contingent upon funds and performance.
