The Quantum Nanophotonics Laboratory Group at CFM is is offering a postdoctoral
position (2+1 years) starting in March 2022 to work under the supervision of Prof. Gabriel
Molina-Terriza, in collaboration with Dr. Pellicer and Dr. Varga, in the experimental design
and operation of an optical levitation set-up to implement quantum sensors.
The position will be funded by the IKUR strategy and industrial partners. IKUR is the Basque
strategy promoted by the Education Department of the Basque Government to boost the
Scientific Research in specific strategical areas and to position the Basque Country at the
forefront of international research in those fields.
The selected candidate will be hired by the Research Association MPC - Materials Physics
Center. The salary will be of 34.780,80 euros during the first year before taxes.
The Quantum Nanophotonics Laboratory Group at the Center of Materials Physics addresses fundamental aspects of the interaction of light and matter at the nanoscale in the quantum regime. Current research topics in the group include optical trapping and levitation,
classical and quantum scattering, and quantum technologies. For more information, visit our
