Research Fellow in Quantum Nanoplasmonics
2 months ago
Contract Type: Fixed Term Contract up to February 2027
Closes: 11/07/2024
Background
Recent advancements in nanoplasmonics and nanophotonic devices have significantly enhanced our ability to confine light at the nanometer scale, providing an unprecedented degree of accuracy, control and field enhancement. These developments open up a plethora of opportunities for exploring novel quantum phenomena, previously inaccessible at room temperature and ambient conditions.
This post involves the development of analytical theories and numerical simulations for the modelling of light-matter interactions between plasmons and quantum emitters, such as fluorescent molecules and quantum dots. This theory post involves the design of new nanoplasmonic devices, and the development of quantization schemes suitable for nanoplasmonic devices.
Role Summary
We seek an individual with theoretical background primarily in the research areas of nanophotonics and/or quantum optics. The successful candidate will develop the necessary theoretical models for the interaction of plasmons with quantum matter, such as development of quantization schemes and/or cavity Quantum Electrodynamic descriptions (QED), suitable for modelling the light-matter interactions between plasmons and quantum matter. The candidate will also perform computational calculations to design various nanoplasmonic devices that would allow for quantum entanglement and other quantum phenomena to be realized at room temperature.
Main Duties
Key responsibilities:
- To take initiative in the planning of research
- To identify and develop suitable theoretical techniques and models, for the collection and analysis of data
- Collect, analyse and interpret research data
- To ensure the validity and reliability of data at all times
- To maintain accurate and complete records of all findings
- Present research outputs, including drafting academic publications or parts thereof, for example at seminars and as posters
- Apply knowledge in a way which develops new intellectual understanding
- Disseminate research findings for publication, research seminars, by drafting and preparing the relevant documents.
- To present findings to colleagues and at conferences
- Provide guidance, as required, to support staff and any students who may be assisting with the research
- Supervise students on research related work and provide guidance to PhD students where appropriate to the discipline
- Undertake basic management/administration arising from research
- Contribute to Departmental/School research-related activities and research-related administration
- Deal with problems that may affect the achievement of research objectives and deadlines
Person Specification
- Have a PhD (or near to completion) in Physics (Theory) or related topic, or have an equivalent level of professional qualifications and/or experience.
- Expertise in one (or more) of the following disciplines: Plasmonics, Nanophotonics, quantum optics, quantum chemistry, or other related discipline.
- Good skills in computational simulations for nanoplasmonic devices and/or analytical modelling of light-matter interactions
