PhD and Postdoc Positions in Nanomaterials, Nanoelectronics, and Nanophotonics at University of Central Florida

The Shautsova Lab at the University of Central Florida is seeking talented and motivated PhD students and postdoctoral researchers to join an interdisciplinary team working at the forefront of nanomaterials, nanoelectronics, and nanophotonics. Led by Assistant Professor Viktoryia Shautsova, the lab explores the extraordinary physics and applications of emerging nanomaterials, such as 2D materials, and their integration into advanced electronic and photonic devices. Research areas include the design and characterization of high-performance nanoelectronic devices, the development of nanophotonic architectures for precise light control, and the creation of bioelectronic and neural engineering platforms for biological signal detection and stimulation. The lab combines approaches from physics, materials science, electrical engineering, and bioengineering to address modern challenges in nanoelectronics, optoelectronics, and bioelectronics. Projects involve advanced nanoscale characterization, device design, and the engineering of hybrid quantum and optoelectronic systems. The group is dedicated to training the next generation of scientists and leaders, with opportunities for collaboration, industry engagement, and technology translation. Applicants should have a strong background in relevant fields and a passion for interdisciplinary research. The lab encourages early contact to discuss funding, research directions, and available positions. Interested candidates should reach out via the lab website and follow up if needed.
