About us
A post-doctoral research associate position is available at the Photonics & Nanotechnology group, Physics Department, King’s College London,
funded by the EPSRC Programme Grant Next Generation Metamaterials: Exploiting Four Dimensions (META4D)—a collaboration between King’s College London, Imperial College London and University of Exeter.
The research in Photonics & Nanotechnology Group (https://www.kcl.ac.uk/research/photonics-nanotechnology) involves the development and applications of advanced photonic technologies and of novel nanomaterials to address modern challenges in photonic and quantum technologies, new nanostructured materials, sensing, imaging and clean energy. The group adopts an interdisciplinary approach to provide leading-edge research in optical, mechanical and structural properties of nanostructures and nanoparticles. We combine expertise in nanofabrication, laser science, nonlinear optics, sensing, advanced imaging techniques and numerical modelling.
About the role
A successful candidate will be working on the EPSRC funded project Next Generation Metamaterials: Exploiting Four Dimensions (META4D), in particular on the experimental investigations of novel epsilon-near-zero materials,
and time-varying and nonlinear effects in metamaterials. We are seeking an enthusiastic researcher with previous experience in femtosecond lasers and pump-probe spectroscopy. They will collaborate with the project partners at Imperial College London and University of Exeter, as well as with the industry project partners. The post holder will engage in internationally-leading research and to take a role in determining the future path of this research.
Furthermore, the role holder will be responsible for the supervision of PhD and MSc students working on the relevant topics with the project. It is an excellent opportunity for a researcher to further their skill set in a rapidly advancing field,
as well as providing opportunities to manage and take responsibility for both research tasks and people.
Informal enquiries can be made to Professor Zayats via email.
This is a full time role and you will be offered a fixed term contract until 31/03/2028.
About you
To be successful in this role, we are looking for candidates to have the following skills and experience:
Essential criteria
1. PhD qualified in relevant subject area (or pending results)
2. Experience with femtosecond lasers
3. Experience in ultrafast pump-probe spectroscopy
4. Ability to communicate clearly both orally and in writing
5. Ability to work as a part of a team
6. Strong presentation and communication skills
7. Good attention to detail
Desirable criteria
1. Experience in plasmonics and/or metamaterials
2. Experience in working with epsilon near-zero media
3.
Experience in numerical simulations
