At the School of Mathematical and Physical Sciences, we combine four interdisciplinary areas in forensic science, mathematical sciences, physics, and chemistry to develop global citizens facing rapid technological changes. We conduct research that matters, in an industry-oriented, multidisciplinary environment, linking fundamental research to practical problems and producing graduates who are highly skilled and will make a difference to society.
About this Role
This position involves engineering and characterising new quantum emitters, performing spin and sensing measurements, and advancing automation and reproducibility in deterministic spin-photon interfaces and electric field sensing. Additionally, you will evaluate novel spin defects against existing platforms while contributing to student supervision and experimental design.
This is an excellent opportunity for an early career researcher 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 have hands-on skills in nanofabrication and lithography, along with experience in optical cavities, resonators, or dielectric metasurfaces.
* A PhD in physics, engineering, or a related discipline.
* A track record of peer-reviewed publications.
* The ability to conduct high-quality research, evidenced by peer-reviewed publications and citations.
