It is still time to apply or propose a colleague to the Nature Research Awards for Inspiring Women in Science in the categories Science Outreach and Scientific Achievement. LINK  Deadline is 20 June 2021

This summer would be the 25th International Conference on Laser Spectroscopy, a conference with a 50 year legacy of fostering incredible scientific achievement, a collaborative community, and friendships spanning the globe. To celebrate the history of ICOLS and to provide a chance for both old and new friends to reconnect, a 2h Zoom event is organized on Monday June 21, 2021 13:00 to 15:00 GMT
Registration required at https://jila.colorado.edu/icols2021/form/application-icols

As follow-up on the Artiq-day on 28 April, please reply to the 2021 Artiq USER survey HERE
Surveys of the ARTIQ/Sinara user community were last collected in 2017 and 2018. The questions were developed with feedback from NIST, Oxford, Oregon, M-Labs and Warsaw. The survey results are public.

Portal for High-Precision Atomic Data and Computation has been released at University of Delaware and is accessible via:  http://www.udel.edu/atom/.

EPJ QT special issue: “Quantum Metrology & Quantum Enhanced Measurement“. Submissions are accepted from now until 30 June 2021. Details

Jobs

The Trapped-Ion Quantum Information (TIQI) group at ETH Zürich has a 1 year postdoctoral level position focusing on developing an interactive exhibit around ions visible to the naked eye, and communicating quantum science to the general public. For details please contact Jonathan Home

Postdoc positions in Ultracold Quantum Molecular Systems Group at the Faculty of Physics of the University of Warsaw in Poland. LINK

PhD position on the “Yb+ single-ion clock” project, starting fall 2021, in laboratoire FEMTO-ST, Besançon, France. Details ; contact Clément Lacroute

A postdoctoral position is open for the QuantumION project at University of Waterloo, Canada. QuantumION is an open-access, remote-controlled quantum simulator/computer for the academic community. We are looking for postdoctoral candidates who have an engineering mindset. We anticipate the completion of the first phase of the project (trapping ions and initial gates characterization) in early 2022. Please reach out to Rajibul Islam or Crystal Senko

PhD position in the Laboratoire de Physique des Lasers, Université Sorbonne Paris to work on precise spectroscopic measurements and tests of fundamental physics with cold molecules. The project is a collaboration with the Centre of Cold Matter (Imperial College London) at the forefront of frequency metrology and cold molecule research. LINK

Research Fellow in Quantum Technology for Fundamental Physics, 24 months, University Sussex LINK

A postdoc position in theoretical many-body quantum physics with Rydberg atoms at the University of Tübingen  For details please contact I Lesanowsky
