4 days ago
We are seeking a highly motivated and skilled Research Assistant/Associate to join our team in the Department of Engineering at the University of Cambridge.
About the RoleThe successful candidate will be responsible for conducting research and developing novel high-precision optical measurements in photonic devices, with a focus on spatial light modulators with subpixel-accuracy hologram setting for precise beam steering. The role will involve system design and implementation, performance benchmarking and optimisation, and the compilation and analysis of quantitative and qualitative data.
Key Responsibilities- Conduct research and develop novel high-precision optical measurements in photonic devices
- Design and implement systems for spatial light modulators with subpixel-accuracy hologram setting
- Benchmark and optimise system performance
- Compile and analyse quantitative and qualitative data
- Prepare reports and present results to summarise main findings and conclusions
- Write journal articles to reveal research findings
- Manage own research and administrative activities
- Work in a team and provide support to other team members
The successful candidate will have a PhD in a relevant specialist subject of physics, optics, and/or optical engineering, and will demonstrate the ability to perform the key responsibilities and duties of the role. Research experience in high-accuracy optical measurement, including subpixel-accuracy concept, optical design, system implementation and computation evaluation and benchmarking is essential. Development experience in point spread function modelling, machine learning and/or optical simulation is desirable.
Appointment and SalaryAppointment at Research Associate level is dependent on having a PhD. Those who have submitted but not yet received their PhD will be appointed at Research Assistant level, which will be amended to Research Associate once the PhD has been awarded. Salary ranges are £31,396 - £33,966 for Research Assistant and £36,024 - £44,263 for Research Associate.
Fixed-Term AppointmentThe funds for this post are available for 12 months in the first instance.
Equality and DiversityThe University actively supports equality, diversity and inclusion and encourages applications from all sections of society.
