2022-23: Ultrafast Optical and Laser Science Faculty Position Rumor Mill

The site has moved to http://opticsrumors.com/

Post your postdoctoral openings here. Please consider updating the positions! Those without fixed closing dates may be removed after 6 months. The page is managed by volunteers from the Ultrafast Optical Phenomena Technical Group of OPTICA (formerly the Optical Society, OSA) Ultrafast Optical Phenomena Technical Group. It is not run by or endorsed directly by Optica.

This Rumor Mill is inspired by the CMO/AMO Physics Rumor Mill, but is focused on posting seeking applicants with interdisciplinary backgrounds common to the laser optical sciences. It is a place to search and post institutional-based jobs for applicants who are talented with (esp. ultrafast) optics and laser sciences. Please help to keep this list updated with all 2022-23 postdoctoral positions that are relevant to:

  Ultrafast phenomena (broadly defined)
  Ultrafast laser science
  Applied Physics in optics 
  Optical CM and AMO experiment and experiment,
  Optical Materials science,
  Optical Biophysics and laser microscopy
   And other fields.

All University, National Labs, and research institute postings are welcome. Please include a link to the job posting. Permanent faculty job rumors should be posted at Faculty Rumor Mill.

Send questions/problems to tgactivities@osa.org. This page is a community bulletin board, we make no claim as to the accuracy of the rumors or job posted.
