About this position

Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Nanofabrication at the University of Exeter, within the Faculty of Environment, Science and Economy.

This is a full-time, fixed-term post for two years starting in December 2026. The position is part of the QuIMS (Quantum Information with Mechanical Systems) project, which explores mechanical systems for quantum technologies.

The successful candidate will work with Prof. Saverio Russo and contribute to research in nanofabrication, including device design, electron-beam lithography, deposition, etching, material transfer, and suspended structures. The role involves using the University’s cleanroom and characterisation facilities, optimising process flows, improving fabrication yield and reproducibility, maintaining detailed process records, and collaborating with experimental and theoretical researchers.

Eligibility and experience: applicants should have a relevant PhD or equivalent qualification/experience in physics, materials science, or engineering. Hands-on cleanroom nanofabrication experience is essential, along with the ability to develop fabrication methods, evaluate device quality, analyse results, and publish high-quality research. Experience with suspended graphene or van der Waals heterostructures is preferred.

Funding and salary: the post is QuIMS-funded and offers a starting salary from £44,352 up to £46,970 per annum on Grade F, depending on experience.

Application deadline: 9 November 2026.

How to apply: submit an application via the University of Exeter careers portal on the vacancy page. Review the job description and person specification carefully before applying. Informal enquiries may be directed to Prof. Saverio Russo at [email protected] or Dr. Luca Dellantonio at [email protected].
