The School of Physical & Mathematical Sciences invites applications for the position of Research Associate.
Key Responsibilities:
- Develop and setup the technique fs laser direct-write and optical cavity integration.
- Setup and align optical beamlines/setups for home-built micro-transient optical spectroscopy experiments.
- Conduct micro-transient absorption spectroscopy studies on the measurements of carrier diffusion length.
- Perform data analysis and data interpretation of micro-transient optical spectroscopy experiments independently.
- Assist the principal investigator with the writing of research papers.
- Assist the principal investigator with the writing of research grants.
- Assist the principal investigator in the supervision and mentoring of a small research team comprising of post-graduate students and undergraduate students.
Job Requirements:
- MSc Degree
- Minimum 3 years of Research Experience in Ultrafast Lasers and Ultrafast Laser Spectroscopy of semiconductor materials.
- Minimum 3 years of Research Experience in the study of photophysics in semiconductor systems.
- Excellent knowledge in chemical synthesis, optics, photophysics of semiconductors, charge and quasi-particle dynamics, charge transfer mechanisms, femtosecond lasers, and femtosecond laser spectroscopy is essential.
- Excellent knowledge in the optical characterization of semiconductor materials (including nanostructures) which includes transient spectroscopy (pump-probe, time-resolved PL), and material characterizations (XRD, AFM, GIWAXS/GISAXS).
A written and oral test of the candidate’s technical competency of femtosecond lasers, photophysics concepts, and ultrafast optical spectroscopy basics will be conducted during the interview.
We regret that only shortlisted candidates will be notified.
