Physics Expert PhD (AMO / Optical Properties of Materials)

A specialist in atomic, molecular and optical physics takes part in a narrowly focused project on atomic and optical properties. The work covers critiquing atomic-structure calculations for ytterbium isotopes, discussing configuration interaction methods for polarizability, and telling apart sigma and pi transitions. Contributors also answer questions in adaptive spoken AI interviews, drawing on research examples they may legally share.

What you would do

• Offer expert input on AMO physics and the optical properties of materials
• Review ab initio configuration interaction approaches to atomic polarizability
• Critique atomic-structure calculations covering the ytterbium isotopes labeled Yb-171 and Yb-174
• Take part in spoken AI interviews, answering one question at a time

What the listing asks for

• Preferred: Master's, PhD or comparable experience in physics, centered on AMO or optical properties
• Preferred: ab initio quantum chemistry experience, especially configuration interaction for polarizability
• Preferred: knowledge of atomic-structure methods for ytterbium isotopes
• Preferred: ability to explain sigma versus pi transitions
• Preferred: clear written and spoken scientific communication

Suits professionals who work in atomic or optical physics, can discuss their research aloud, and want part-time flexible hours.
