About the Role
Join our cutting-edge project, Narrowband quantum emitters in hBN with optically addressable spin, as a
Postdoctoral Research Associate
and help drive the next frontier in quantum technologies. In this role, you will engineer and characterised recent quantum emitters, perform spin and sensing measurements, and advance automation and reproducibility in deterministic spin-photon interfaces and electric field sensing.
You will also evaluate novel spin defects against existing platforms while contributing to student supervision and experimental design. This position is an
excellent opportunity for an early career researcher (within five years of PhD)
to build expertise at the forefront of quantum science.
About you
You are a motivated and collaborative researcher in the early stages of your career, with a strong background in experimental quantum science. Your expertise spans confocal microscopy and cryogenic spectroscopy, supported by proven experience in characterising quantum emitters and working with optical and magneto-optical cryostats. You bring hands-on skills in nanofabrication and lithography, along with experience in optical cavities, resonators, or dielectric metasurfaces, positioning you to make a significant contribution to this exciting project. Other requirements include:
PhD in physics, engineering or a related discipline.
Track record of peer reviewed publications.
Proven ability to conduct high quality research, evidenced by peer-reviewed publications and citations.
