POSTDOCTORAL RESEARCH POSITIONS

NEW (1.04.25): Postdoctoral Research Assistant in Ultrafast Terahertz Science and Technology

[For further particulars and to apply for the position please click here ]

Grade 7: £ 38,674 - £ 46,913 pa
Fixed term for 36 months

Applications are invited for a Research and Innovation Associate (Postdoctoral Research Associate) position in the Department of Physics at the University of Oxford to work on a project involving integrated THz technologies for THz time-domain spectroscopy and imaging. The project will unite novel nanowire THz technology from Oxford with unique custom-designed integrated circuits from project partners in Germany, to create powerful THz receivers. This outcome will not only create a step change in signal-to-noise performance but will allow scaling of the sensors to create multielement arrays. The advances made will contribute to our active existing research programme in which utilises THz technologies for optical-pump-terahertz-probe experiments to extract mobility values of semiconductors.

The role promises to be exciting and challenging, and we will rely on the successful applicant significantly advancing THz technologies and applying them to key scientific problems.

The successful candidates will possess or be close to obtaining a PhD in physics, electrical engineering, materials science, chemistry or similar discipline and have excellent problem-solving skills. They will have specific expertise in laser-based terahertz devices, spectroscopy and/or imaging. In addition, they will have excellent verbal and written skills in English and a track record of high-quality publications.

The post-holder will have the opportunity to teach.

The post is available initially for a fixed-term duration of 36 months.

Only applications received before 5 May 2025 can be considered. You will be required to upload a brief statement of research interests, CV and details of two referees as part of your online application.

CONSIDERING STUDYING PHYSICS AS AN UNDERGRADUATE AT OXFORD?

CCC Logo If you are interested by the research on this site and are expecting to obtain A-level grade "A"s (or equivalent) you might like to consider applying to study physics at Oxford. At Oxford University you must apply to a college for admission to the University. My college is Corpus Christi College, and we have an intake of 6 undergraduate physics students a year. Corpus Christi has an excellent academic standard, and is well suited to those interested in physics as a research career. Studying at Corpus would give you opportunities to experience physics research, such as seen on this webpage, at an early stage in your studies.
