Grade 7 Research Associate in Fabrication of III-V optoelectronic devices

Grade 7 Research Associate in Optical Systems Engineering

The University of Glasgow is collaborating with Thales UK Ltd, a global leader in sensing and imaging technology, to deliver next generation remote-sensing technologies. Working with project partners Kelvin Nanotechnology and Sentinel Photonics the team will develop new devices, technologies and systems for world class remote sensing equipment. The team will investigate fundamental technological building blocks, from uncooled infra-red detectors to novel edge processed high-definition imagers in combination with the state-of-art laser sensing techniques.

The research at the University of Glasgow will investigate technology to deliver uncooled infra-red detectors. In particular, the successful candidates will work on the advancement of the University’s pioneering work on mid-wave infra-red (MWIR) monolithic sensors and imagers. The project, with academic and industrial input, will take major steps towards developing and maturing the technology to integrate it into a new generation of imaging and remote sensing equipment.

Future products derived from these technologies could become significant disruptors, allowing world class systems to be produced to meet emerging capability requirements identified for medical diagnostics, energy monitoring, net-zero measurement, security, defence and surveillance applications. They are estimated to be worth an anticipated £40m in the UK market and £120m from exports over a decade.
