Project Officer (Terahertz emission spectroscopy)

at  NANYANG TECHNOLOGICAL UNIVERSITY

Join Our Team at the School of Physical and Mathematical Sciences, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore
The School of Physical and Mathematical Sciences (SPMS) at NTU Singapore hosts research and education activities in two divisions: Division of Mathematical Sciences (MAS) and Division of Physics and Applied Physics (PAP). MAS covers diverse topics ranging from pure mathematics to the applications of mathematics in cryptography, computing, business, and finance. PAP covers many areas of fundamental and applied physics, including quantum information, condensed matter physics, biophysics, and photonics. Over the years, SPMS has attracted talented individuals from around the world and Singapore to join as scientific leaders and researchers.
SPMS is looking for a Project Officer to join the laboratory of Prof Chia at the School of Physical and Mathematical Sciences. The hire is part of a Tier 3 grant award for research in 2D materials, with funding available over the next five years. Materials and/or devices will be characterized using a unique combination of terahertz (THz) emission spectroscopy, THz time-domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS) and time-resolved THz spectroscopy (TRTS).

Key Responsibilities:

• Work on novel 2D materials, including fabricating 2D materials and conducting optical and electronic sample characterizations, especially in the terahertz range
• Responsible to make regular progress reports to the PI
• Handle operation, maintenance, and modification of scientific equipment in Prof. Chia’s laboratory
• Handle management of project issues, including related paperwork
• Handle material characterization and measurements in the terahertz range
• Prepare scientific publications

Job Requirements:

• Bachelor’s degree in in physics/optics is mandatory
• Demonstrated strong experimental skills and track record of research achievements
• Demonstrated ability to publish high-tier research publications
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills (including scientific writing)
• Ability to work independently but also to work as part of a team, e.g. collaborating with the group members as well as researchers from other labs
• Experience in THz emission spectroscopy, time-resolved THz spectroscopy, and 2D materials

The College of Science seeks a diverse and inclusive workforce and is committed to equality of opportunity. We welcome applications from all and recruit on the basis of merit, regardless of age, race, gender, religion, marital status and family responsibilities, or disability.
We regret to inform that only shortlisted candidates will be notified.
