We will consider ultra-cold atoms trapped on shell (or ‘bubble’) surfaces, atoms trapped or guided in rings, and atoms trapped in a small number of potential wells. The applications we are interested in include Sagnac interferometry, which is a Quantum Technology challenge which can potentially be used for rotation sensing, as well as the fundamental physics of ultra-cold matter in different topologies.</p> <p><strong>Eligibility</strong></p> <p>Applicants must hold, or expect to hold, <em>at least</em> a UK upper second class degree (or non-UK equivalent qualification) in Physics/Mathematics, or a closely-related area, or else a lower second class degree followed by a relevant Master''s degree.</p> <p>This award is open to UK students only.</p> <p><strong>Deadline</strong></p> <p>We prefer to fill the position before 30 September 2024, and as soon as a suitable candidate is found.
