Research Associate, Photon Science Institute, University of Manchester

I am working on an innovative project funded by the EPSRC Programme Grant Nanoscale Advanced Materials Engineering (NAME). This role includes the development of isotopically enriched semiconductors (e.g. silicon) and impurity-doped platforms for quantum technologies and their characterization.

Working includes 

• the utilization of high-magnetic field cryogenic optical spectroscopy facilities and advanced photonic and electronic characterization methods

• utilization of the advanced characterization capability housed within the NPL with close engagement with the Quantum Technologies, Devices, Metrology and Applications Group

Key Responsibilities, Accountabilities or Duties 

The range of duties will include:  

• Development and testing of new measurement protocols for advanced functional materials 

characterisation and metrology. 

• Collaboration with other scientists (at UoM, NPL and beyond) to identify new scientific 

problems that could be addressed using capability of the P-NAME tool. 

• Assist with the delivery of PhD student projects relating to the NAME Programme Grant as 

appropriate.  

• To disseminate research findings through leading and contributing (as appropriate) to peer

reviewed publications in high impact journals. 

• Develop own research objectives and application ideas. 

• Prepare reports on progress as required. 

• Flexible working approach including short periods of travel to perform experiments at NPL, 

and at other UK and International sites.  

• Attend NAME project meetings and residential events, and travel overseas to disseminate 

results at international conferences.
