Research Fellow in Terahertz Emitter Fabrication

Location: Leeds - Main Campus

Working time: 37.5 hours per week

Contract type: Fixed term (Until 31st March 2027 - to complete specific time limited work)

Are you an ambitious researcher looking for your next challenge? Do you have an established background in micro-fabrication of novel terahertz emitters? Do you want to further your career in one of the UK’s leading research-intensive universities?

We seek a Post-Doctoral Research Fellow to join a 9-month project. You will focus on the fabrication and characterisation of novel terahertz (THz) emitters based on the lithium-niobate-on-insulator (LNOI) platform, with the aim of increasing the maximum power in continuous-wave (CW) mode. This will be achieved through a combination of device design optimisation; advanced fabrication techniques, including wafer-bonding and dry-etching; and simulation and engineering of the device. The applications for this work include high precision spectroscopy and high-speed wireless communications.

We are open to discussing flexible working arrangements.
