Research Fellow - Terahertz Electronics

You will join an established terahertz research team to develop and exploit ultrafast (terahertz frequency / picosecond timescale) techniques to investigate the plasmonic terahertz response of gated two-dimensional electronic systems.

The project is funded as part of a new EPSRC research project in collaboration with Imperial College London. The aim is to demonstrate the modulation and emission of THz radiation from low-dimensional semiconductors (and, in particular, from gated two-dimensional electron gases forming plasmonic cavities). You will engage in a wide-ranging programme of experimental research and be expected to write high quality articles in primary archival journals based on your results.

You should hold, or shortly expect to obtain, a PhD in Physics, Electronic Engineering or a related discipline. Experience is required in terahertz time-domain measurement techniques, in semiconductor device fabrication in a cleanroom environment, and of low temperature measurements.
