Londonderry, United Kingdom University of Nottingham Full time
Job Overview

The Optics and Photonics group at the University of Nottingham is seeking a highly skilled theoretical chemist to advance the use of defects in semiconductors as a platform for quantum sensing. The successful applicant will work in a multidisciplinary team led by Professor Melissa L. Mather, encompassing both optics/photonics colleagues in the Faculty of Engineering and nanomaterials colleagues in the School of Chemistry.

Key Responsibilities
  1. Develop a theoretical model to characterise the optoelectronic characteristics of defects in semiconductors, including the nitrogen vacancy centre in diamond, under external stimuli, particularly magnetic fields.
  2. Progress to the theory-led design of novel semiconductor defects for atomic resolution quantum sensing.
