Postdoctoral Opportunity at the University of Maryland

Student OSA/SPIE and labmembers,

 

Please see below for a postdoc opening from Edo Waks, a former Stanford Ph.D student and postdoc.

 

Postdoctoral Fellow Opening

 

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering

University of Maryland, College Park

 

The nanophotonics group at the University of Maryland, College Park, is seeking to hire a Postdoctoral Fellow.  The main interests for our research group are: experimental and theoretical quantum optics, quantum information processing, photonic crystal design and fabrication, quantum dots, physics of optoelectronic devices, and plasmonics.  We are particularly interested in candidates with optics lab and nanofabrication experience.

 

The nanophotonics group is led by Edo Waks, and is part of the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering.  Our group is part of the newly formed Joint Quantum Institute (JQI), as well as the Inistute for Research in Electronics and Applied Physics (IREAP).  JQI brings together leading researchers from both NIST and Maryland to study quantum coherence and quantum information, while IREAP combines the expertise of top scientists from Departments of Physics, Electrical Engineering, and Material Science to perform highly multidisciplinary research.  Postdocs will have the opportunity to establish close ties with researchers at Maryland, NIST, and IREAP.  They will also have access to state-of-the-art nanofabrication facilities at the University of Maryland Fablab and NIST.

 

The initial appointment will be for one year with the possibility of renewal for an additional one to two years subject to satisfactory progress and availability of funds.  The start time of the appointment is open to negotiation.  Qualified candidates must have attained a Ph.D. prior to the beginning of their appointment.  Applicants should send a detailed CV along with 3-4 references by email to edowaks@umd.edu. Please make the header of your email is "Nanophotonics Research Position" to ensure that it is appropriately received.  Additional information may be found on our web page at http://www.ireap.umd.edu/NanoPhotonics/. Email applications are preferred, but if a hard copy application is required it may be mailed to the following address:
