Research Fellow: Ultrafast Laser Material Processing, Nanostructuring 1644 views

Research Fellow – Ultrafast laser material processing, Nanostructuring and Geometrical phase optics at the Zepler Institute for Photonics and Nanoelectronics (Full Time Fixed Term (for one year))

Fellowship: £30,395 to £37,345 Per annum

Reference:  985018EH-R-R

Overview:

A Research Fellow position is available in the field between femtosecond laser direct writing, nanostructuring of optical materials and geometrical phase optics on recently funded by EPSRC project at the Optoelectronics Research Centre (ORC), University of Southampton.

Research Area: The research involves fundamental study of interaction of ultrashort light pulses with optical materials, foe instance, recently discovered self-assembled nanostructuring of transparent materials by femtosecond direct writing and its applications for printed geometrical phase optics fabrication.

Requirements / Qualifications

1. Looking for a hands-on experimental scientist with the drive to solve difficult and challenging technological and scientific problems.
2. Experience in one of the following fields: ultrafast laser material processing, femtosecond laser direct writing, nonlinear optics, micro-optics and nano-optics would be desirable.
3. The main qualification is a good track record of innovative research at an international level.
4. Demonstrate experience working with ultrafast laser systems and setting up complex optical experiments.
5. PhD or equivalent professional qualifications and experience in Physics or Electronic and Optical Engineering,
6. Good communication skills and the ability to work independently or as a part of a team on a challenging project.

The post-doctoral position is available for one year.

Further Information: Informal enquiries may be directed to Prof Peter Kazansky, , email: pgk@soton.ac.uk.
