Join us

We are a friendly and growing team of researchers with complementary expertise in different aspects of experimental and computational physics, working at the intersections with other disciplines.

Our network of international collaborators includes physicists, engineers, chemists, computer scientists, biologists, medics and clinicians - to name a few.

We are always on the lookout for new talented and enthusiastic group members, including those from diverse career paths and backgrounds, and those who have taken career breaks.
