About us The position is for a FCPA research assistant to investigate Sagnac interferometry for fibre amplification. The FCPA project is for 6 months to be held in the attosecond quantum physics laboratory at King’s College London, in the NMES faculty at the Strand Campus (under the supervision of Dr Amelle Zair). We are looking for hiring an excellent research assistant with a master’s degree in Photonics. Candidates should have expertise in fibre amplifier, either through a master project, and internship or a secondment. This experience should include setting up, testing, characterising a fibre femtosecond amplifier. Any additional experience in research link to the measurement of femtosecond pulses will be complementary. The Faculty of Natural, Mathematical & Engineering Sciences (NMES) comprises Chemistry, Engineering, Informatics, Mathematics, and Physics – all departments highly rated in research activities and a wide-ranging portfolio of education programmes. Celebrating diversity and supporting staff is important to us and we offer a range of provision including flexible working, caring support (including a Parenting and Carers Fund and the Carer’s Career Development Fund), training, and a variety of diversity and inclusion networks.
