Postdoctoral Position in Quantum Sensing with Cold Atoms

Universiteit van Amsterdam • Amsterdam, North Holland • Posted June 09, 2026

Position Overview

What are you going to do

?

You will be working on:

  • Developing a numerical model for the systematic effects in inertial quantum sensors based on optimally controlled light pulses for matter-wave manipulation. The model will be used to estimate the transportable quantum gravimeter accuracy under different conditions. For this, the candidate will work closely with our industry partner (Q-CTRL).
  • Building and developing hardware components for the experiment at UVA and will lead the assembling of a specific optical bench dedicated for the New Brunswick experiment, in collaboration with the local start-up in Amsterdam.

    • You will also have a leadership role, mentoring graduate students in a laboratory setting, and will have the opportunity to write research papers and funding applications, present results at scientific conferences, and develop IP in the form of patents.
