Job Title: Post-Doc in cold atoms theory

Job Summary: Successful candidate will be involved in realization of (Polish) National Science Center grant `Quantum droplets’ leaded by prof. Mariusz Gajda. Work will concentrate on theoretical studies of quantum droplets in mixtures of two component ultracold quantum gases, organized in a form of self bound objects stabilized by quantum effects. Studies will involve analysis of droplets stability, excitation spectrum, effects of finite temperature, dynamics, including collisions, merging, etc.. Collaboration with experimental groups is expected.

Job Description: Successful candidate will implement different numerical tools and theoretical ideas in attempts to study static and dynamical properties of quantum droplets – self-bound systems of different mixtures of two species or dipolar gases. The work will be performed in a collaboration with ICFO groups: theory group of Maciej Lewenstein, and experimental group of Letticia Tarruell – experiment. Candidates with cold atom theory background are preferred. Good knowledge of quantum mechanics, in particular scattering theory, many body physics and/or mean field approaches are expected. Candidates are required to have very good numerical skills. Experience in programming and modeling of physical phenomena is very favorable. They also should have a good knowledge of English and be able to communicate and write scientific texts in this language. Moreover, s/he should be able to work and collaborate with the team.
