A new PhD position in Theoretical Quantum Optics of Ultracold Quantum
 Gases and Nanostructures is available at the University of Oxford,
Department of Physics.

The project’s main target is merging quantum optics and many-body
physics of quantum gases, using theoretical methods of atomic and
condensed matter physics. We will address phenomena, where the quantum
natures of both light and ultracold matter play equally important
roles. Modern theoretical and experimental studies are just entering
this ultimate quantum regime of the light-matter interaction.
Applications for quasiparticles in the systems of quantum
nanophotonics are of interest as well. For more information, please,

many-body-systems

The candidates with expertise in either Atomic, Molecular and Optical
or Condensed Matter Physics are welcomed to apply. The position is
fully funded for EU-related students. Other candidates should apply
for additional funding to cover the overseas fees. You may apply
before the actual completion date of your Master Degree.

To express the intention to apply, and for informal inquiries about
the project and application procedure, please, contact the project
leader Dr. Igor Mekhov ( www2.physics.ox.ac.uk/contacts/people/Mekhov
) before the deadline 20 January 2012.



The application should be submitted online. Please see
