The group is in its expanding phase, and is always looking for highly motivated postdocs, graduate students, and undergraduate students. If you like the idea of working in a small group, building setups from scratch, leading your projects at the beginning, and shaping lab cultures yourself, then you probably will enjoy working with us!
Details regarding each position is listed below.
Postdoctoral researcher: We have openings for at least one postdoctoral researcher in experimental quantum optics. Candidates with a strong expertise in cryogenics, nanophotonics, nanofabrication, AMO Physics, and quantum materials are preferred, although we do take applications from candidates with any experimental physics background. Interested candidates should reach out to Shuo directly. No reference letters are needed for initial inquiry.
Graduate student: We take 1~2 graduate students per year. If you are interested in our group, please apply to the graduate program in the CU Physics department. If you are admitted by CU and are interested in joining our group, please reach out to Shuo directly to discuss research opportunities.
Undergraduate student: We have a variety of interesting projects for undergraduate students or summer intern students, ranging across quantum information theories, quantum optics simulation, EM simulation, optical design, device fabrication, equipment setup, and quantum optics experiments. If you are interested in working with us, please contact Shuo directly with a CV that includes course grades and a description of your interests.
The Physics Frontiers Centers (PFC) program supports university-based centers and institutes where the collective efforts of a larger group of individuals can enable transformational advances in the most promising research areas. The program is designed to foster major breakthroughs at the intellectual frontiers of physics by providing needed resources such as combinations of talents, skills, disciplines, and/or specialized infrastructure, not usually available to individual investigators or small groups, in an environment in which the collective efforts of the larger group can be shown to be seminal to promoting significant progress in the science and the education of students. PFCs also include creative, substantive activities aimed at enhancing education, broadening participation of traditionally underrepresented groups, and outreach to the scientific community and general public.
