Research
Assistant / Research Associate in Graphene and Related Materials Technology
(Fixed Term)
A position
exists, for a Research Assistant in Photonics Integration of Graphene and
Related Materials.
The aim is to develop a new class of integrated photonic and
optoelectronic devices based graphene and related materials (GRMs),
combining the versatile properties of GRMs with conventional
three-dimensional semiconductors. The post holder will investigate the
large area production of graphene, BN, MoS2 and other layered materials, optimize
their transfer process in view of their application in energy, electronics
and photonics. This will include design, commissioning, assembling and
optimization of new growth/production and transfer equipment. Such devices
will then be used in a wide range of applications such as on-chip optical
routing, flexible optoelectronics, light emission, optical sensing and
quantum communications. This is an ambitious research program, with a
strong interdisciplinary nature, across photonics, plasmonics,
device physics, electrical engineering and nanotechnology, and it will
require the realization of novel devices for wide range of applications
such as photodetectors, optical modulators, optical amplifiers, lasers,
biosensors etc. based on integrated GRMs.
The successful candidate will hold a Bachelor or master's
degree in Applied Physics, Material Science, Nanotechnology, Chemistry or
Electrical Engineering with experience in photonics, optoelectronics in
graphene and related materials, physics of low dimensional systems, plasmonics, near-field optics, CMOS technology and
nanofabrication including, e-beam lithography and laser writing, on-chip
optical and electrical characterizations, pump-probe and fast
electro-optical measurements. Preference will be given to candidates with
experience in silicon photonics, fabrication and optoelectronic
characterization of graphene, related layered materials or other nanoscale
photonic devices. An understanding of device physics, the physics of
graphene and related materials is required.
The role holder would possess sufficient breadth or depth of
knowledge in the discipline and of research methods and techniques to work
within own area. The candidate will also have the ability to
continually update knowledge, develop skills and engage in continuous
professional development. They'll also have experience of managing their
own workload.
Salary Ranges: Research Assistant: £32,296 - £34,866
Fixed-term: The funds for this post are available until 30
September 2025 in the first instance.
