Applications are sought for a committed Post-doctoral Research Fellow to work with Prof Ifor Samuel and Prof Graham Turnbull on research to develop a new class of photonic material. The work is supported by an EPSRC funded project entitled Novel Polymers of Intrinsic Microporosity for use as Photonic Materials. The project will use the excellent facilities of the Organic Semiconductor Centre, involves collaboration with the chemistry groups of Profs Neil McKeown (Edinbugh) and Graeme Cooke (Glasgow). The primary duties will be to make photophysical measurements of novel materials and to assess their application for visible lasers, chemical sensors and solar cells.
The successful applicant will have (or be near to completion of) a PhD in Physics or a related discipline with expertise in organic semiconductor photophysics and/or device fabrication.
The post is available for 30 months starting 1st June or as soon as possible thereafter.
This post is offered on a fixed term basis as it is specific to a project/piece of work. As such the need for the post will cease to exist when the work/project is completed.
Further information and informal enquiries may be directed to Professor , email: gat@st-andrews.ac.uk , Tel: +44 (0)1334 467330
Applications are particularly welcome from those with a willingness to commit to the School and University's aspirations towards equality, diversity and inclusivity. The School has Juno Champion status, which recognises physics departments who take action to embed better working practices for all staff and address the under-representation of women in UK and Irish universities.
