Postdoc Position in Ccm at Imperial College London

Applications are invited for a Research Associate position to carry out research into quantum optical applications of single organic molecules coupled to photonic devices. You will join the Centre for Cold Matter,in the Department of Physics and work under the supervision of Dr Alex Clark and Professor Ed Hinds. The group has a number of ongoing projects including Organic Quantum Integrated Devices (ORQUID), funded under the recent QuantERA Initiative, Quantum Science with Ultracold Molecules (QSUM), an EPSRC programme grant in collaboration with Durham University and University of Oxford, and Microcavity Molecular Photon Source, also funded by EPSRC.

You will be responsible for designing and carrying out experimental measurements of the optical, spectroscopic, structural, and electrical properties of molecules and the photonic devices they are to be coupled to, both at ambient and cryogenic temperature. You will be expected to plan and carry out research, to write up results for publication and oral presentations, and to liaise with collaborators within and outside Imperial College. You will also assist in the maintenance of lab facilities and the administration of the research team, as well as support research students.
