Job Details

One Research Fellow position is currently available in the School of Physical & Mathematical Sciences, NTU.

Key Responsibilities

  • Prepare and process perovskite nanomaterials
  • Operate, optimize, troubleshoot and maintain femtosecond laser systems
  • Setup and align optical beamlines/setups for transient optical spectroscopy experiments   
  • Conduct ultrafast optical spectroscopy studies and nonlinear spectroscopy of novel semiconductors and emergent semiconductor nanostructures
  • Perform data analysis and data interpretation of transient optical spectroscopy experiments independently
  • Assist the principal investigator with the writing of research papers, research grants and supervision and mentoring of a small research team comprising of post-graduate students and undergraduate students

Job Requirements
