The Atom Interferometry and Inertial Sensors group (IACI) of SYRTE opens a 24-months post- doctoral position dedicated to development of ultra-sensitive gravi-gradiometers. The applicant will be involved into two ongoing projects: the research on the novel technologies to enhance the sensitivity and accuracy of SYRTE atomic gravi-gradiometer [1]; and the EU Horizon collaborative project FIQUgS [2] on mobile quantum gravimetry for geophysics applications.

TOPTICA France, french hub of the TOPTICA group, world-leading manufacturer of high-power low-noise fiber lasers and amplifiers is seeking a highly motivated and talented individual to join the team. We are looking for a candidate with a particular interest in the field of innovative laser source for quantum applications.Focus on the Labcom Starlight+The Labcom Starlight+ is a joint initiative between LP2N (Laboratoire Photonique, Numérique et Nanosciences) and Toptica France (formerly Azurlight Systems). This laboratory has been the birthplace of several major advances in laser sources for the quantum industry, and the founding partners have ambitious plans for growth and expansion following the implication of Toptica Photonics and the award of several major financed projects.We offerA stimulating research and industrial environment with close collaboration with R&D scientists from TOPTICA as well as ALPhANOV.The LP2N lab will also provide an interdisciplinary working atmosphere, as it is hosted in the facilities of the Institut d’Optique d’Aquitaine, which is also home to Naquidis, the innovative centre for disruptive quantum products. Several annual social events are organized for taking time to relax and to get to know co-workers.Competitive salary and benefitsOpportunities for professional development and advancementAccess to the ressources and facilities of the Institut d’Optique

IxAtom is a joint research laboratory between the Laboratory of Numerical Photonics and Nanosciences of the Institut d'Optique d'Aquitaine (LP2N), specialized in new techniques for atomic interferometry, and Exail, an industrial leader in the fields of photonics, inertial navigation and quantum sensors.In this unique environment at the border between fundamental research and applications, we study the quantum inertial sensors of generation, especially for embedded environments. By hybridizing conventional sensors and the atomic interferometer, it is possible to improve the performance of inertial navigation systems by more than an order of magnitude compared to existing technologies.
