The Institute of Photonic Sciences (ICFO) in Barcelona, Spain, invites applications for a Junior postdoctoral position in the area of optically detected magnetic resonance.

The successful candidate(s) will join the Atomic Quantum Optics group to carry out research tasks associated with the development of new techniques in atomic physics, magnetometry and magnetic resonance. The candidate will design new magneto-optical sensing approaches that involve atomic and nuclear spin systems. 

**Relevant ongoing projects in the group include: **

Development of microfabricated optically pumped atomic magnetometers operating at the femtotesla sensitivity level, for application in biomagnetic field detection. Part of the EU Quantum Flagship program. 

Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy in the ultralow-field regime below earth’s magnetic field. Supported by EU Marie Skłodowska Curie Actions.

Techniques for atomic and nuclear spin polarization in the ultralow-field regime. Supported by EU Regional Development Fund.

Requirements and conditions

Applicants should hold an internationally recognized Ph.D. degree in Physics, Chemistry or closely related field to experimental quantum optics or magnetic resonance.

Experience in the design, development and implementation of hardware, as well as a knowledge of spin dynamics is essential. 

The applicant should have a demonstrated ability to work with collaborators.

ICFO is an equal opportunity employer. Candidates are selected exclusively on merit and potential on the basis of submitted application material. No restrictions related to disabilities, citizenship or gender apply to ICFO positions. ICFO abides by the principles of openness, efficiency, transparency, supportiveness, and international comparability as stated in the European Charter for Researchers and the European Code of Conduct for the Recruitment of Researchers.
