Supports academic research in structured light, topological photonics, nanophotonics, and 2D-material optical systems. Responsibilities include electromagnetic simulation, optical experiments, spectroscopy, microscopy, sample preparation, cleanroom fabrication, data analysis, manuscript preparation, laboratory equipment maintenance, safety compliance, procurement, and collaboration with researchers and external partners.
The School of Physical and Mathematical Sciences (SPMS) at NTU is a leading centre for physics, mathematics, and interdisciplinary research.
We are looking for a Research Assistant to support research in structured light, topological photonics, and 2D-material-based optical systems, contributing to NTU’s research mission in advanced photonics and light–matter interactions. The role will focus on optical simulation, experimental characterization, data analysis, and general laboratory support for projects in nanophotonics and structured light. The role will also contribute to ongoing projects in structured light and topological photonics, with opportunities to develop new experimental and theoretical directions.
Key Responsibilities:
- Conduct theoretical simulation and design of optical devices and systems using standard electromagnetic simulation tools.
- Perform optical experiments and characterization, including light-field measurement, spectroscopy, and microscopy.
- Assist in sample preparation, fabrication, and basic cleanroom processes for optical and 2D-material devices.
- Analyze experimental data, prepare reports, manuscripts, and presentations for internal and external dissemination.
- Maintain lab equipment, ensure safety compliance, and assist with day-to-day laboratory operations and procurement.
- Collaborate with PhD students, postdocs, and external collaborators to support project deliverables.
Job Requirements:
- Minimum Bachelor degree qualification degree in Physics or related field
- At least 1–2 years of relevant research experience in optics/photonics, with hands-on experience in structured light, thin-film optics, micro/nano optics, or 2D materials.
- Familiarity with optical simulation software (FDTD, COMSOL, MATLAB etc.) and experimental characterization tools (ellipsometry, Raman, AFM, SEM, EBL etc.).
- Proficiency in hard skills: optical thin-film simulation, micro/nano fabrication, optical path construction, data analysis, and programming (MATLAB/Python etc.).
- Competent in soft skills: independent problem-solving, collaborative teamwork, time management, and attention to detail.
- Interpersonal skills: ability to work independently and in a team; meticulous and well-organized.
