Oxford, United Kingdom University of Oxford Full time

We are seeking a motivated and Talented experimentalist for a full-time Postdoctoral Research Assistant position within Professor Ares’ research group at the Department of Engineering Science (Central Oxford). The post is funded by Innovate and is fixed-term to the 31st October 2025.

The overarching goal of this project is to exploit quantum effects to improve the energy efficiency of precision measurements with nano-electronic devices. We are part of an international consortium involving partners in Ireland, the UK, Spain, Sweden, and Austria.

You will focus on experiments on quantum dots electrostatically defined in suspended carbon nanotube devices. Combining electronic and mechanical degrees of freedom these devices allow the study of the thermodynamics of precision by monitoring vibrational modes in the nanotube.
