In the project the candidate will use and develop methods of electronic structure and/or quantum scattering theory to investigate properties of novel ultracold quantum molecular systems or other related topics in ultracold quantum many-body physics, important for ongoing and future experimental works OR build a new experimental system for cooling and trapping ultracold silver atoms and mixtures of silver with alkali atoms.
The planned employment will be realized within the project „Spectroscopy, formation, and application of ultracold highly polar KAg and CsAg molecules: theory and experiment“ financed by the National Science Centre within the OPUS grant of dr hab. Michał Tomza. The planned employment period is up to 24 months.
The candidates have to conform to the conditions stated in art. 113 of Higher Education Law dated 20. 07. 2018 (Journal of Laws of the Republic of Poland 2022, item 574), who obtained a doctoral degree in the year of employment in the project or in the period of 7 years before January 1 of the year of employment in the project (in the case of persons who have obtained more than one doctoral degree, the date of reference is the date of obtaining the first one). This period may be extended by the time of staying in this period on long-term (over 90 days) documented sickness benefits or rehabilitation benefits due to incapacity for work. In addition, this period may be extended by the number of months on leaves related to the care and upbringing of children granted on the terms set out in the Labor Code, and in the case of women - by 18 months for each born or adopted child, if this method of indicating breaks in the academic career is more favorable. .
