Research Fellow in Terahertz Emitter Fabrication

Company: University of Leeds
Apply for the Research Fellow in Terahertz Emitter Fabrication
Location: Leeds
Job Description:

Are you an ambitious researcher looking for your next challenge? Do you have an established background in micro‑fabrication of novel terahertz emitters? Do you want to further your career on one of the UK’s leading research‑intensive universities?

We seek a Post‑Doctoral Research Fellow to join a 9‑month project. You will focus on the fabrication and characterisation of novel terahertz (THz) emitters based on the lithium‑niobate‑on‑insulator (LNOI) platform, with the aim of increasing the maximum power in continuous‑wave (CW) mode. This will be achieved through a combination of device design optimisation, advanced fabrication techniques including wafer‑bonding and dry‑etching, and simulation and engineering of the device. The applications for this work include high‑precision spectroscopy and high‑speed wireless communications.

We are open to discussing flexible working arrangements.
