The William H. Miller III Department of Physics and Astronomy at Johns Hopkins University invites applications for a postdoctoral associate position in Atomic, Molecular, and Optical Physics.

The Overstreet group at Johns Hopkins University has an opening for a postdoctoral researcher who is interested in testing fundamental physics in AMO experiments. The goal of the project is to implement matter-wave interferometry with Yb atoms in a laboratory-scale atomic fountain. The experiment will search for ultralight dark matter in the mass range 10^-22 eV to 10^-13 eV by performing differential spectroscopy and accelerometry between internal states of Yb. This multi-channel detection technique has the potential to improve constraints on several dark matter couplings by factors of up to 100 over a broad mass range. The start date is flexible—ideally between November 2023 and August 2024.

The applicant will be expected to work closely with graduate and undergraduate students.

Applicants should have a PhD in physics by the appointment start date. Preference will be given to applicants who have significant research experience with atomic and optical systems.

Applications should consist of a CV, list of publications, brief statement of research, and three letters of recommendation. Inquiries may be sent to Professor Chris Overstreet at c.overstreet@jhu.edu.

Review of applications will begin on September 1, 2023 and will continue until the position is filled. For information on benefits, please see https://hr.jhu.edu/benefits-worklife/.
