Research Associate in Photonics

3 months ago


Loughborough University, United Kingdom Loughborough University Full time

Full-time - Fixed-term until 30th November 2026.

Applications are invited for a Postdoctoral Research Associate in Experimental and Theoretical Photonics at the Emergent Photonics Research Centre. The duration of the position is originally for 2 years with the possibility of an extension for a further 2 years based on research requirements. The position is part the UK Hub for Quantum Enabled Position, Navigation and Timing (QEPNT), one of 5 UK hubs being delivered by the UKRI EPSRC as part of their Quantum Technology Programme. QEPNT is headed by University of Glasgow and other collaborators include: Imperial College London and the Universities of Bristol, Cambridge, Edinburgh, Strathclyde, Heriot-Watt, Queen’s University Belfast and Warwick. It is led at Loughborough University by Prof. Alessia Pasquazi.

It involves the development of novel approaches towards the realisation of compact optical frequency combs in microresonators. Key to the project success are elements directly inherited from nonlinear photonics, fibre photonics, mode-locked lasers and optical frequency combs. This project transversely intersects the kernel of our research interests. The outcomes are likely to have a key impact in several domains, from quantum technologies to environmental sensing, metrology, manufacturing, and others.

The successful applicant should have a PhD in a field related to our research areas, nonlinear photonics, ultrafast photonics, nonlinear wave propagation, and background preferably intersecting soliton theory and optical complexity with a good publication record. Previous experimental experience with photonic benches implementation would be desirable, along with basic knowledge of ultrafast laser operation and a history of international involvement and aggressive publication strategy. Evidence of potential leadership, independence and a strong motivation are also essential. Some of the typical tasks for this position include the operation of ultrafast fibre-lasers and optical frequency combs, the design of optical benches, the acquisition of data using fast electronics and their analysis.

The successful candidate is expected to actively engage in our research plans, to provide guidance to undergraduate and postgraduate students, to participate in the strategic planning of the group and to contribute to drafting successful research bids. It is expected to travel among our network of collaborators. The salary offered will be appropriate to the qualifications, standing and experience of the successful candidate.

Loughborough University is committed to promoting diversity of experience, thought and perspective and committed to comprehensive EDI strategies covering several aspects of being part of the university, including staff recruitment. As such, we welcome applications from under-represented groups, requests to fit a specific need in any phase of the selection, and any discussion regarding work and workload arrangements.

For more information refer to the Job Description and Person Specification.

Closing Date: 15th September 2024

From £33,966. Subject to annual pay award. Specialist and Supporting Academic Research grade 6.
