JILA – Postdoctoral Research Associateships in Science and Technology

JILA supports an active postdoctoral research associates program for young scientists desiring advanced research training soon after being awarded a Ph.D. Appointments to the program are offered for durations of one year or more. Young researchers often undertake postdoctoral research to gain experience in a new field or expand their experience in applied research, theoretical analysis, or experimental research. Many JILA postdocs have won prestigious awards and fellowships.

JILA is devoted to applied research in the fields of laser technology, optoelectronics, precision measurement, surface science and semiconductors, information and image processing, and nanoscience. The institute also promotes groundbreaking basic research in atomic, molecular and optical physics, precision measurement, astrophysics, chemical physics, biophysics, and nanoscience. JILA’s theoretical astrophysics investigations are typically complemented by observational programs at astronomical and space research facilities around the world.
