Research Associate

This post is full time, and has funding for up to 1.5 years.

The School of Physics & Astronomy is looking for a Research Associate to make a leading contribution to the EPSRC project “Silicon core fibres: extending the reach of nonlinear fibre systems, working with the XtremeLight group lead by Dr. Maria Chiara Braidotti, prof. Daniele Faccio and Dr. Ashley Lyons. The position is expected to be in very close collaboration with our academic partner Anna Peacock, Professor of Photonics in the Optoelectronics Research Centre (ORC), University of Southampton with a particular emphasis on using Silicon core fibers for imaging with undetected photons.

The expectation is that this partnership will develop A new platform for quantum light generation, fundamental for many quantum technologies, such as quantum information, sensing and spectroscopy. This project will cover a range of opportunities, for example generating and characterizing Telecom band photon pairs, Photon pairs beyond 2 μm and the generation of macroscopic quantum states of light, implementing squeezed light into the IR regions for enhanced detection and imaging. This ambitious project stands to advance quantum optics, metrology, and sensing technology significantly.

The successful candidate will also be expected to contribute to the formulation and submission of research publications and research proposals as well as help manage and direct this complex and challenging project/disciplinary area as opportunities allow.

For informal enquiries or further information about the project, please contact Dr. Maria Chiara Braidotti (MariaChiara.Braidotti@glasgow.ac.uk)
