Job Overview:
The Institute of Materials Research and Engineering (IMRE), part of the Agency for Science, Technology, and Research (A*STAR), is looking for a research scientist who is experienced in nonlinear and integrated photonics. The successful candidate will be part of a dynamic team of researchers developing integrated photonics devices for quantum technologies, including on-chip quantum-light sources, controllers, single-photon detectors, and heterogeneous integration with other functional devices. This work will lead to exciting applications in cutting-edge technologies such as quantum information processing and photonic computing.
The roles of the successful candidate will include:
- Design and fabricate integrated quantum photonic devices
- Construct optoelectronic measurement setups for device testing
- Characterize fabricated devices and perform nonlinear/quantum optics experiments
- Analysis and presentation of scientific data
Job Requirements:
- PhD degree in physics, applied physics, electrical engineering, material science & engineering, mechanical engineering, or any other relevant disciplines.
- Experience in experimental optics and photonics, especially in quantum/nonlinear optics
- Familiarity in characterization of photonics devices, including laser systems, photonic probe stations and test setups, and the measurement of quantum light
- Experience in micro/nano-fabrication is highly desired
- Ability to program (especially Python) lab equipment for testing automation
- Ability to independently plan and execute research work
- Ability to communicate well and work closely with team members
The above eligibility criteria are not exhaustive. A*STAR may include additional selection criteria based on its prevailing recruitment policies. These policies may be amended from time to time without notice. We regret that only shortlisted candidates will be notified.
