A Research Fellow position is available in the Centre for OptoElectronics and Biophotonics, School of Electrical & Electronic Engineering, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore.

Job Description:

The Research Fellow will conduct research focusing on complex optical and plasmonic waveguide networks, with a view to applications in single particle bio-sensing, environmental monitoring and distributed sensing. The tasks of this position include:

• Develop novel, and build on existing, simulation tools capable of describing scattering, resonance, and transport properties of complex photonic and plasmonic waveguide networks
• Formulate theory accounting for bulk and localised perturbations to network parameters and generate supporting numerical data
• Quantify and optimise sensitivity gains achievable in micro-optical
• Perform literature reviews and stay up to date on developments in the field
• Disseminate results through publication in top-tier journals and conference presentations
• Contribute to research administration and assist in grant writing as required
• Supervise PhD and undergraduate student projects as required

Job Requirements:

• PhD Degree in Physics/Computer Science/Engineering/Mathematics or related disciplines
• Programming Experience: Proficient knowledge of Python
• Strong experience and knowledge in nano and micro-optical and plasmonic systems
• Experience in optical/electromagnetic modelling/theory
• Excellent knowledge of waveguide theory
• Experience in distributed sensing, optical networks and network theory is an advantage
• Good writing and communication skills
• Able to work well in a team and individually
• Good research track record. Prior high tier publications is preferred
• Min. 1-year research experience in related area
• Proficiency in English
