Job Details

This research project is a component part of the £6.1M Airguide Photonics Programme Grant funded by the UK Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) and will involve collaboration with a wide range of researchers at the Optoelectronics Research Centre (ORC) and external academic and industrial partners. You will be joining a large and successful team within our world-leading photonics research centre at the University of Southampton, UK and will have access to the world class facilities and dedicated researchers that this provides.

To be successful, you must have a strong background in photonics with extensive practical experience of working with optical fibre, particularly with respect to handling, cleaving, splicing and free space beam coupling. Ideally you will also have experience in modelling and characterising the modal properties of optical fibres as well as in characterising photonic components. A working knowledge of optical communication systems, and/or lasers, and/or optical sensor systems would be advantageous.

You must also have proven skills in the critical evaluation and interpretation of data and of working as part of a collaborative research team. You must hold a PhD* or equivalent qualification related to fibre optics or photonics.

* Applications for Research Fellow positions will be considered from candidates who are working towards or nearing completion of a relevant PhD qualification. The title of Research Fellow will be applied upon successful completion of the PhD. Prior to the qualification being awarded the title of Senior Research Assistant will be given.

If you have any questions or would like to discuss this post, please contact Professor David Richardson on djr1@soton.ac.uk .
