The role is for a research fellow to conduct experimental research in quantum optics, nanophotonics, and light-matter interaction at EEE/NTU.

The researcher will study and control collective and single-emitter light-matter interactions in advanced photonic structures, contributing to fundamental quantum science and future quantum technologies.

Key Responsibilities:

Design, set up, conduct, and analyse experiments in quantum optics, nanophotonics, and light-matter interaction.
Develop and operate single-photon spectroscopy, Hanbury Brown-Twiss (HBT), Hong-Ou-Mandel (HOM), and related optical spectroscopy measurements.
Investigate collective quantum optical effects enabled by nanophotonic platforms, including superradiance, superfluorescence, and quantum imaging.
Study strong light-matter interaction in the single-emitter regime and optical spectroscopy of nanoscale systems with embedded quantum emitters.
Characterise photonic structures and quantum-emitter systems, maintain rigorous experimental records, and ensure safe laboratory practice.
Collaborate with EEE/NTU researchers and project partners contribute to publications, presentations, reports, and research proposals.
Support mentoring and training of students and junior researchers in relevant experimental techniques.

Requirements

PhD in Physics, Applied Physics, Photonics, Electrical/Electronic Engineering, Materials Science, or a related field.
Strong experimental experience in quantum optics, single-photon spectroscopy, HBT, HOM, and optical spectroscopy of nanoscale quantum-emitter systems.
Experience with nanophotonic platforms, quantum emitters, and light-matter interaction is desirable.
Strong analytical, troubleshooting, documentation, and scientific communication skills.
Ability to work independently and collaboratively in an interdisciplinary research environment.
