Job Description

This job aims to address some critical issues about control the propagation of light through the complex photoelectric medium. Applications include the control of various properties of light, such as intensity, polarization, spectrum, and coherence.The main targets are threefold:1. Understand in depth the photoelectric effect and polarization of light, and explore new effects, novel phenomena, unique features and high-performance devices based on various polarization control in complex quantum medium with nano- /micro- structures. Research directions include structures design, liner and chiral transport, optical rotation, etc.2. Study the polarization characteristics of optic in various active materials nano- /micro- structures from the point of view of photophysics and structural design. The research results should be able to efficiently provide a new perspective for understanding the formation of liner and chiral transport behavior, optical rotation, and be expected to provide useful guidance for polarization modulation devices with excellent performance.3. Find practical schemes to demonstrate the liner and chiral modulation in the complex photoelectric medium, to control the polarization properties of optic waves, to construct the interactions between different complex medium, etc.
Considering the above research targets, the candidate should possess in-depth physical insights and interdisciplinary knowledge of materials science, photonics, physical optics or related fields., etc. Practical experience in the design, fabrication, measurement and characterization of polarization modulation in complex systems is preferred.Qualifications1. PhD in Photonics or Physical Optics
2. Hands-on expertise on complex photoelectric medium design. Specifically, photonic structure design & fabrication (or crystal structure design & synthesis) and thin film patterning and integration needed for exciton-photon interaction.
3. Materials science and optics specific knowledge required in electronic properties of materials (especially semiconductors)\xef\xbc\x8cband theory, wave optics, photonics, physical optics, and electromagnetism.
4. Commitment to collaborative and interdisciplinary research.
5. Excellent oral and written presentation skills. A willingness and curiosity to learn work on a variety of projects. Ability to learn new techniques quickly and multi-task efficiently.
6. Candidate should have strong scientific writing skills demonstrated by first authorship of quality scientific papers records in reputed International Journals in the field of optics.
