We have an opening for a 3-year postdoc position to join the NL-eEDM collaboration. The aim of the table-top particle physics eEDM research program is to probe the electron’s electric dipole moment with unprecedented precision using a slow, cold and intense sample of molecules. The experiment is a joint effort of Nikhef, the University of Groningen, the Vrije Universiteit of Amsterdam and the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. The experiment is located at the Van Swinderen Institute in Groningen.

We look for a physicist with a background in experimental atomic, molecular and optical physics. The candidate is expected to be actively involved in different aspects of the project and guide PhD students working on various parts of the research program, which involves a cryogenic beam, Stark deceleration, molecular laser cooling, a carefully shielded interaction zone, laser spectroscopy, optical trapping and state preparation and readout. We look for someone with a broad view who enjoys working in a team, and with an active attitude towards achieving our common goal – a competitive electron-EDM measurement.

The position is open until filled, up to the 1st of july 2025. The starting date will be set on mutual agreement. Further information can be obtained from Prof.dr. Steven Hoekstra (s.hoekstra@rug.nl). People can apply through this link:
