Postdoctoral Research Associate/Fellow

R66901

Closing: 28/05/2019

Postdoctoral Research Associate from £29,515 up to £34,189 on Grade E. Postdoctoral Research Fellow from £35,211 up to £43,267 on Grade F. Appointment will be made to the appropriate level, depending on qualifications and experience.

Job Category: Research

College of Engineering, Mathematics and Physical Sciences – Living Systems Institute

The College wishes to recruit a Postdoctoral Research Associate or Postdoctoral Research Fellow to support the work of Professor Frank Vollmer. This full-time post is available immediately on a fixed term basis for up to 36 months from the start date.

Summary of the role/position

You will develop QUANTUM NANO-SENSORS for analysis of SINGLE-MOLECULES. You will integrate advanced quantum optical measurement technologies with single-molecule sensors pioneered in Prof Vollmer’s laboratory to lead a paradigm shift in biomolecular detection and analysis. The quantum optical correlation based integrated sensing system will be one of a kind as this bring together three strong streams of photonics which will drive the research in photonics further i.e. Biophotonics, Nanophotonics and Quantum Optics.

You will be part of the UKRI Molecular Mechanics Initiative at the University of Exeter. The UKRI funded Molecular Mechanics Initiative is a cutting-edge research programme that aims to achieve breakthroughs in how we detect, analyse, and manipulate molecules at the ultimate single-molecule level. The programme will develop novel quantum sensing capabilities which will be at the forefront of developments showing that the technique holds the key to the next generation of enabling analytical and healthcare technologies on sensor chips.

Prof Vollmer’s laboratory is pioneering optical sensors and spectrometers to visualise and detect processes at the micro- and nanoscale. For more information on Prof Vollmer’s laboratory: http://emps.exeter.ac.uk/physics-astronomy/staff/fv227

Project details: What we are looking for…

You have experience with the use of correlated single-photon sources and optical measurement techniques in quantum optics. You are passionate about applying quantum optics and nonlinear optics for biosensing and single-molecule studies.You have experience with a variety of laser-based measurement techniques including interferometry and metrology. You are excited about working as part of a multi-disciplinary team composed of phycisists, engineers, and biologists.You will work at the newly established Living Systems Institute, University of Exeter which provides state-of-the-art research facilities for realising one of the first quantum optical approaches to study the energetics and dynamics of biomolecular machines: https://www.exeter.ac.uk/livingsystems/
