This is a job posting for an Research Fellow at NTU's Q²Lab, in the School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering (EEE).

Q²Lab works on electronic and optical devices that exploit both classical and quantum functionalities. It is built mainly on GaN semiconductors, complemented by 2D materials, liquid crystals, and perovskites. Its work spans MBE/MOVPE growth, in-house characterization, and device fabrication in NTU's EEE clean-room. The target devices are high-power/high-frequency transistors, nonlinear photonic circuits (including all-optical computing), and quantum emitters and qubits, with topological physics and new light-matter coupling regimes incorporated therein. Q²Lab belongs to NTU's EEE, which is a founding school of the university, with over 3,000 undergraduates and 2,000 graduate students. It ranks 4th worldwide in Electrical & Electronic Engineering in the 2025 QS subject rankings.
