	Ph.D. studentship in Cold Atom Physics -Disorder and localisation in 2D quantum gases- Firma/Institution: University of Birmingham Land: United Kingdom Position: PhD Position eingegangen am: 04/02/2010 Beschreibung: Applications are invited for a 3½-year studentship leading to the award of a Ph.D. The studentship will be based in the Cold Atoms research group at the University of Birmingham (UK) and supervised by Prof. Kai Bongs.   Our Group The Cold Atom group at Birmingham started off in 2008 as part of the Midlands Ultracold Atoms Research Centre (MUARC) initiative. MUARC is designed to be a world-class centre of excellence at the interface between cold atoms, condensed matter, and optical physics. It comprises a total of six experimental research groups at the Universities of Nottingham and Birmingham.   Your Project You will work in a team of Ph.D. students on one of the core projects at Birmingham led by Prof. K. Bongs, the “Cold Atom Quantum Simulator”. This project aims at the creation of mixed bosonic and fermionic quantum gases in an optical lattice suitable for quantum simulation of 2D condensed matter models, where disorder plays a decisive but yet not fully understood role. Cold atoms offer a degree of control and flexibility elusive in condensed matter and therefore the chance to shed new light on long-standing questions, as well to explore entirely new realms of physics.   Your Profile You are highly self-motivated and self-reliant, yet a team player with good communication skills. Your approach to work is proactive and independent. You are not all thumbs and not averse to technicalities. A background in cold atoms, laser physics or quantum optics could be helpful but is not required.   Contact For more information, please contact Prof. K. Bongs at k.bongs@bham.ac.uk or +44 121 414 8278, or visit our website http://mpa.ac.uk/muarc/.
