Research Assistant

Salary: Starting from £30,805, rising to £37,174

Grade: Grade 6

About the role

We invite applications for a 3 month research assistant position to fabricate and integrate speciality optical fibre into cavity geometries for quantum optics applications.

This project will give you the opportunity to broaden and strengthen your research skills, using cutting-edge fabrication facilities and deploying your devices in state-of-the-art photonics labs. As well as creating industrially-relevant technologies, we aim to publish results from this project in high-impact academic journals and disseminate our findings at high-profile international conferences.

You will have experience in experimental quantum photonics, fibre photonics, or a related field. You will require strong laboratory skills as well as a firm theoretical understanding of quantum optics. Experience in fabricating microstructured optical fibre is essential.

The CPPM is a highly collaborative research centre consisting of approximately 40 staff and postgraduate students. The Department of Physics at the University of Bath is a research-led department, and is committed to providing a supportive and inclusive working environment.

Informal enquiries should be directed to Dr Peter Mosley (p.mosley@bath.ac.uk).
