Seeking Postdocs and PhD candidates in
quantum physics, nanophotonics and free electron science (NTU Singapore)
The L. J. Wong Group of Free Electron Nanophotonics is actively recruiting postdocs and PhD candidates who are passionate about tackling longstanding global challenges in semiconductors, sustainability, and healthcare. Join our mission to push the boundaries of science and technology, and make a lasting impact on the future. Led by Prof. Liang Jie Wong, our research has been recognized as a Falling Walls 2024 winner in the Physical Sciences category under the topic “Breaking the Wall of Quantum X-ray Tech” (https://falling-walls.com/foundation/people/liang-jie-wong). Our fundamental-science-driven technologies have been licensed and have attracted the attention of industries such as AMD, Inc and Thales. Our group has a strong record of nurturing outstanding talent for positions in academia and deep-tech industries.

Opening #1: Postdoc in nanophotonics for scintillators and light emitters
Description: We are seeking talented postdoctoral fellows to push the frontiers of nanomaterial, metamaterial and quantum material design, with the ultimate goal of designing and demonstrating improved platforms for X-ray scintillators, light emitters and other applications. Both theoretical/numerical and experimental expertise is highly sought after.
Responsibilities: Research and development ● Publishing in top-tiered peer reviewed journals ● Presenting at top-tier international conferences ● Assisting PI in grant writing ● Supervision of graduate and undergraduate students
Prerequisites: PhD or equivalent in related field ● Highly independent, disciplined and self-motivated ● Team player ● Ability to deliver excellent work under time pressure ● Preferred: strong background in physics, mathematics and/or relevant experimental work
Opening #2: Postdoc in free electron-driven light emission
Description: We are seeking talented postdoctoral fellows to spearhead the discovery of novel science in free electron-driven light emission. Free electron-driven light emission is a historically significant subject that has birthed wondrous scientific instruments including free electron lasers and synchrotrons. However, many of these facilities, while capable of producing X-ray and EUV emission of unprecedented brightness, remain relatively enormous, expensive and inaccessible. Our group aims to exploit novel quantum phenomena that could lead to the realization of miniaturized and more sustainable versions of these instruments, for X-ray and EUV applications including semiconductor failure analysis, EUV/X-ray lithography, medical imaging and security scanning.
