Postdoctoral Research Associate I
About The Position
The Laboratory of Space Systems and Optomechanics (LASSO) at the University of Arizona’s Wyant College of Optical Sciences seeks postdoctoral researchers with a strong graduate research background in displacement laser interferometry, optomechanical inertial sensing, micro-optical systems, cavity optomechanics, atom interferometry, and quantum optics. Successful candidates will work in the LASSO group led by Professor Guzman. The role involves experimental research on advanced laser interferometers, novel optomechanical and quantum technologies, and space systems, with applications in gravitational sensing and navigation. Researchers work with minimal supervision and collaborate with senior scientists, graduate and undergraduate students, and interdisciplinary teams. They contribute to scholarly discussions, author journal papers and conference articles, and present research results at conferences.
