The Institute for Theoretical Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics (ITAMP), funded by the National Science Foundation, engages in research and welcomes researchers in all areas of theoretical atomic, molecular and optical physics. Current topics of active interest at ITAMP include: ultracold atomic collisions, cold molecule formation, quantum degenerate gases, few-body and long-range interactions, coherence effects in quantum and non-linear optics, atoms and molecules in strong fields, atomic and molecular astrophysics, quantum information science, quantum simulations of strongly correlated systems, and atomic interactions on the nanoscopic scale. The Institute is located at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics and the Harvard University Physics Department in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

 

One new appointment will be made each year to support a promising recent Ph.D. graduate to carry out research in any area of theoretical AMO physics.

 

**Deadline Change** The new deadline for applications is the Monday of the third week in November 16, 2009. Please see the webpage for online application instructions.

 

The Institute is an Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity Employer and Educator. For further information or questions regarding the above or the application procedure write to:
