PI: Matteo Clerici; Keywords: Quantum optics, spectroscopy, imaging, squeezed light

Position type: Post doctoral

We are looking for a talented and passion-driven candidate to fulfil a 1-y postdoc at the University of Glasgow. The candidate will work in the UNO (Ultrafast Nonlinear Optics) group, led by Dr Clerici, with access to state-of-the-art research infrastructures.

The project goal is to develop time-resolved quantum metrology approaches for the detection of infrared radiation. The research will focus on developing a pulsed twin-beam source for time-resolved sub-shot noise differential measurement. The project is in collaboration with industrial partners delivering the balanced detector to be used in the metrology experiments.

Essential requirements:

• A PhD degree in Physics (or similar disciplines) and a strong background in nonlinear and quantum optics.

• Hands-on experience with ultrafast lasers, balanced detection, pump and probe schemes, frequency conversion, and parametric processes.

• Ability to write and use codes for controlling lab instruments via, e.g., Matlab or LabView

• Experience with optoelectronic detectors and with quantum metrology will be valued.

Application: The appointment will be for 1 year with the possibility of extension, pending research funding. The salary is competitive and commensurate with experience.
