Research Fellow – Topological Polaritons

About the role

Join the laboratory of Su Rui at the School of Physical and Mathematical Sciences, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore as a Research Fellow working on topological polaritons.

Key responsibilities

• Fabricate topological exciton‑polariton lattices using novel semiconductors.
• Apply electron‑beam lithography to etch custom lattice patterns.
• Perform optical characterisation of structures with various spectroscopy techniques.
• Collaborate with theoretical researchers to design and optimise new topological lattice effects.
• Conduct nonlinear optical measurements using interferometric, angle‑resolved and correlation methods.
• Record, manage and store data in line with NTU data‑management policies.
• Disseminate results through peer‑reviewed publications and international conference presentations.
• Write grant proposals and mentor PhD students.

Required profile

• PhD in Physics, Optics, Materials Science, Engineering or a related field from a reputable university.
• Strong written and oral communication skills.
• Proven track record of peer‑reviewed publications in international journals.

Required skills

• Microcavity sample fabrication.
• Optical spectroscopy measurements.
• Electron‑beam lithographic techniques.
• Nonlinear optical measurement methods (interferometric, angle‑resolved, correlation).
