- Advice and support junior group members on scientific protocols and experimental techniques.
- Disseminating your research by writing journal articles and conference presentations.

**Who we're looking **for**:

- A PhD in physics, engineering, or related discipline, and a track record of scientific publications.
- Demonstrable experience with the independent design and implementation of optical set-ups for imaging and interferometry. A solid understanding of coherence, interference, and polarisation.
- Demonstrable experience developing and maintaining software to simulate complex optical systems, control experiments, and to rigorously analyse the experimental data.
- The ability to work independently. Evidence of initiative in the formulation, planning, and implementation of research activities. Capable of managing own academic research and associated activities to meet deadlines.
- The ability to work flexibly as part of a cross-disciplinary collaborative research team.
