Research Fellow (Integrated Polaritonic Devices)

Nanyang Technological University Singapore; Singapore; Vor Ort; SGD 60.000 - 100.000; Vollzeit

Zusammenfassung

Nanyang Technological University Singapore seeks a Research Fellow to advance integrated polaritonic devices and waveguides, focusing on long-range polariton propagation, low-energy switching, and few-particle nonlinearities. The role involves real-space and Fourier-space imaging, polarization- and time-resolved measurements, plus room-temperature and cryogenic testing.

You will design and characterize devices, operate advanced spectroscopy setups, and collaborate with device integration teams

Qualifikationen

• PhD in Physics, Optical/Photonic Engineering, Materials Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related discipline.
• Relevant research experience in experimental optics, optical spectroscopy, photonics, exciton-polariton physics, nonlinear optics, semiconductor optics, polaritonic waveguides, or related fields.
• Proven publication record in reputable international peer‑reviewed journals.
• Hands-on experience in optical system design, alignment, operation, and advanced characterization techniques, including laser-based and imaging setups.
• Competent in scientific programming and data analysis (e.g., Python/Matlab), with strong communication skills and the ability to work independently and collaboratively within a research environment.

Aufgaben

• Design, fabricate, assemble, optimize and characterize integrated polaritonic devices and waveguides.
• Develop and operate optical spectroscopy setups involving real-space/Fourier-space imaging, polarization-resolved spectroscopy, time-resolved photoluminescence, electroluminescence, and room-temperature and/or cryogenic measurements.
• Investigate low-power and few-particle polaritonic effects, including condensate nonlinearities, low-energy switching, single- or few-polariton emission regimes, photon-correlation behaviour, and routes toward polaritonic logic or routing functions.
• Develop long-range polaritonic waveguiding platforms, polariton propagation measurements, electrical or optical routing schemes, and integration of polaritonic waveguides with single-photon detection where relevant.
• Collaborate with photonic device integration teams and CDPT partners to support device fabrication, assembly, testing and prototype demonstration.
• Operate and maintain research laboratories, including advanced microscopy and spectroscopy equipment, in compliance with safety and laboratory protocols.
• Perform data analysis and interpretation, prepare scientific publications, contribute to research reports and IP disclosures, and present findings at international conferences.
• Collaborate with internal and external partners on joint research projects and technology development.
• Contribute to progress reports, project meetings, day-to-day laboratory operations, future grant proposals, and the development and protection of intellectual property.
