Applications are invited for an ambitious Postdoctoral Research Associate/Fellow to work on the development of new optical memristor devices. However, it is their ability to emulate the memory and learning properties of biological synapses and their potential to produce a new generation of ultra-high performance artificial intelligent devices that has ignited researchers’ interest in these remarkable devices. The aim of this position is to explore and develop new types of memristors that can be switched both optically and electronically, therefore opening the route to new applications in computer vision.
The position will be based in the School of Physics & Astronomy at the University of Nottingham which has a thriving research culture of both experimental and theoretical groups across a broad spectrum of physics topics including condensed matter physics and nanoscience. Academics within the department are highly regarded for their excellence in research and teaching. They have a history of securing funding from research council sources and working with industry on a wide range of national and international projects.
Our areas of interest include optically tuneable memristors for photonic computing and new artificial intelligence technologies, molecular spintronics and nanoscale engineering of novel device structures for plasmonics and biosensor applications. This group is part of the Experimental Condensed Matter and Nanoscience research grouping.
You will have a PhD in Experimental Condensed Matter Physics, Materials Science or Electrical Engineering, or be close to completion, and will have experience with sophisticated vacuum deposition systems including DC pulse and RF magnetron sputtering, use of gas cluster sources for nanoparticle deposition and electron gun evaporator. This role is full time, offered on a fixed term appointment until 31 July 2028, available to start as soon as possible.
