Research Fellow in the Physics of Organic Polaritons - AR1702KC
School of Physics and Astronomy,
Salary: £31,342 - £35,256 per annum,
Start: 1 November 2015 or as soon as possible thereafter,
Duration of post: Fixed until 30 August 2017
Applications are invited for a postdoctoral position in nanophotonics, to work within the Organic Semiconductor Centre at the University of St Andrews. The position is part of a new multidisciplinary collaborative project, which is driving forward the science and technology of strong light-matter interactions.
We are seeking a researcher with expertise in the fabrication and spectroscopy of organic semiconductor devices to work on strong coupling and polariton lasing. The successful candidate will design novel nanophotonic structures, fabricate these and measure their photonic properties. The candidate will have access to the extensive fabrication and characterisation facilities of the Organic Semiconductor Centre, and will work in collaboration with partner universities (Southampton, Sheffield and Wurzburg). A PhD in a physical science is required. Prior experience of organic lasers or light-emitting diodes is desirable and experience of working with microcavities, plasmons or strong coupling would be an advantage.
This post is fixed until 30 August 2017 and will start on 1 November 2015 or as soon as possible thereafter.
The University of St Andrews is committed to promoting equality of opportunity for all, which is further demonstrated through its working on the Gender and Race Equality Charters and being awarded the Athena SWAN award for women in science, HR Excellence in Research Award and the LGBT Charter;
