This PhD project will advance large-area metasurface optics for quantum technology , with applications in quantum imaging and cold atom trapping. Metaoptics use precisely arranged sub-wavelength nanostructures to create ultra-thin optical components that can control light, polarisation, aberrations, and wavefronts. These devices have the potential to replace bulky lenses and mirrors while making quantum systems smaller, more efficient, and easier to integrate. The research will investigate the d...

About this position

The University of Nottingham is recruiting a Postdoctoral Researcher for a Game Changers proof-of-concept project with Sellafield Ltd. The research will assess the capability of dielectric sensing for material characterisation.

The researcher will generate and analyse experimental evidence by developing and validating measurement protocols, carrying out systematic dielectric testing of representative materials, and analysing datasets to identify trends, measurement capabilities, limitations, and requirements for future development.

The role provides autonomy in experimental research and data analysis while involving close collaboration with project leads and engagement with the industrial partner at key project stages. The work sits at the intersection of materials science, electrical engineering, dielectric measurement, laboratory experimentation, and research data interpretation.

Dr Orla Williams is the listed contact for further questions about the role, which is based at the University of Nottingham's University Park location.

Funding details

Fixed-term full-time employment at 36.25 hours per week until 31 March 2027. Salary is £32,080 to £47,389 per annum, pro rata depending on skills and experience, with a minimum of £35,608 for candidates with a relevant PhD. Benefits include 30 days' holiday plus bank holidays and university closure days, professional development, and staff benefits.

What's required

Applicants must have a PhD, awarded or submitted, in engineering, physical sciences, or a related discipline. They should have strong experimental and laboratory research skills, including experience developing and validating measurement protocols; experience in material characterisation, dielectric measurement, or related techniques; strong data analysis and interpretation skills; experience writing journal papers and technical reports; and the ability to work independently while collaborating effectively with project leads and industrial partners.
