Crynodeb

We are seeking an outstanding, creative researcher with the skills to develop novel topological photonic crystal/metamaterials for terahertz light control. Our project - sponsored by the Royal Society – is in collaboration with a strong research team in South Korea (lead by Dr Teun-Teun Kim) and aims to deliver the reconfigurable terahertz topological states for the application in the next generation of wireless communications.

To be successful in this role, you will have:

a PhD or equivalent qualification (or be nearing completion thereof) in Physics/Optical Engineering or another subject relevant to the study, development and/or application of topological photonic materials;
proven practical knowledge and expertise in the field of photonic crystals/metamaterials;
strong problem-solving skills, self-motivation, and an ability to collaborate in multidisciplinary teams;
a strong track record of research dissemination through peer-reviewed publications and conference presentations.
It will be advantageous, but not essential, to have recent experience in one or more of:

the use of micro/nanofabrication and materials characterization tools;
computational multi-physics/electromagnetics modelling and eigenmode analysis for photonic crystals;
terahertz far-field spectra measurements or near-field scanning spectroscopy.
In this role, you will join an interdisciplinary research group at the Optoelectronics Research Centre (ORC), with interests ranging from nanophotonics, metrology, metamaterials, and topological photonics.

The ORC is proud to hold an Athena Swan Bronze Award, recognising our support for the advancement of women in science. Our diverse community encompasses over 49 nationalities, and we offer a range of initiatives to support personal and professional growth, including mentoring schemes, an Early Career Researchers Forum, and the Women in Optics group. We also offer flexible, hybrid, and part-time working arrangements to help meet individual needs.

As well as a world-class research environment, we offer benefits including a generous holiday allowance, access to the Universities Superannuation Scheme (USS), and subsidised health and fitness facilities.

This is a full-time fixed-term position from 1st of November or as soon as possible thereafter, for an initial 12 months with the possibility of extension to September of 2028.

Applications for Research Fellow positions will be considered from candidates who are working towards or nearing completion of a relevant PhD qualification. The title of Research Fellow will be applied upon successful completion of the PhD. Prior to the qualification being awarded the title of Senior Research Assistant will be given

For informal enquiries, please write to Dr Dongyang Wang (d.y.wang@ soton.ac.uk).
