Missions

A funded post-doc position is currently available in the GyrAChip
project of the Atom Interferometry and Inertial Sensors team at SYRTE
laboratory in Paris. We are looking for an early-stage researcher to
work on the instrumental development of a mobile atom-chip
gyro/accelerometer for inertial navigation applications. The research is
to be conducted on an existing experiment.

Activités

-Realization of matter wave optics components (Bragg and Raman lasers)
-Preparation of ultra cold atoms in a magnetic guide
-Modeling, measurement and roughness characterization of magnetic
guiding potentials
-Co-supervision of trainees and PhD students

Compétences

We are looking for a candidate with a PhD and/or postdoc experience in
the following areas:
-microfabrication in clean room facilities
-ultra cold atom realiaztion and manipulation in atom chips
-realization of linear and ring rf magnetic guides in atom chips
-rf dressed potentials
-design and realization of small electronic circuits
-instrumentation for atom interferometry and inertial sensing

Contexte de travail

TE is one of the world leading metrology laboratories working in the
field of atom interferometry with cold atom. The laboratory develops
state-of-the-art projection noise limited frequency standards and
inertial sensors. The research activities of the laboratory have a
significant impact on the industrial applications of cold atoms. The
first cold atom gyroscope was built at the LTE laboratory by the AIIS
group and our primary frequency standards, besides of contributing to
the International Atomic Time (TAI), they also participate to the
European Global Positioning System (GPS) via the telecommunication and
radionavigation satellites EGNOS and GALILEO.
