Research Associate in Ultrafast Spectroscopy of Processible Electronic Materials

About the role

You will join an interdisciplinary team dedicated to developing novel spectroscopic techniques that integrate ultrafast vibrational and electronic spectroscopy. These advanced methods will be employed to characterize vibronic states in processable electronic devices under operando conditions. The research will primarily focus on material engineering, nanoscopy, and the optimization of optoelectronic device performance.

What you would be doing

You will lead the development of new spectroscopic methods, combining electron-vibrational spectroscopy, such as VIPER, with innovative concepts from multidimensional spectroscopy, microscopy, and scanning tunneling probe techniques. Additionally, you will be involved in the day-to-day supervision of graduate and undergraduate students, building and maintaining external collaborations, and advancing related spectroscopic research projects.

What we are looking for

We are seeking a candidate passionate about developing new spectroscopic methods. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in ultrafast spectroscopy, with additional experience in multidimensional spectroscopy, vibrational spectroscopy, or microscopy. Expertise in electrical engineering or the photophysics of optoelectronic materials and devices will be considered a valuable asset.

What we can offer you

• Existing and collaborative research environment within the Centre for Processible Electronics
• State-of-the art laser and device fabrication facilities
• Ambitious research project with a large level of autonomy and freedom to explore your own ideas.
• The opportunity to continue your career at a world-leading institution and be part of our mission to continue science for humanity.
• Grow your career: Gain access to Imperial’s sector-leading dedicated career support for researchers as well as opportunities for promotion and progression
• Sector-leading salary and remuneration package (including 39 days off a year and generous pension schemes).

Further information

Candidates who have not yet been officially awarded their PhD will be appointed as a Research Assistant.

The expected starting date is 01 February 2025 or as soon as possible after this.
