Job ID: #JOB11/2018

Job Summary: The PhD student will be involved in theoretical studies of quantum self-bound systems of ultracold atoms under supervision of prof. Mariusz Gajda. The research will be supported by (Polish) National Science Center grant `Quantum droplets’.

Job Description: The 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..

Successful candidate will implement different numerical tools and theoretical ideas in attempts to study static and dynamical properties of quantum droplets. The work will be performed in a collaboration with ICFO groups: theory group of Maciej Lewenstein, and experimental group of Letticia Tarruell – experiment.

• Master degree in Physics or related field obtained no later than June 30, 2018.
• research experience,
• numerical modeling and programming skills
• very good spoken and written English.
