Salary Range: £31,076 - £38,183
FTE: 1
Term: Fixed (24 months)
Closing Date: 23 October 2016
The University of Strathclyde’s Institute of Photonics, seeks applications for a post-doctoral research post to work on EPSRC funded project “Fibre-laser pumped diamond Raman lasers for Lidar and clear plastics welding”. The project will be carried out in collaboration with the University of Southampton, Fraunhofer Centre for Applied Photonics and industrial partners (Thales, SPI, Element Six). Your main task will be to develop, build and investigate the performance of diamond Raman lasers and narrow-linewidth amplifiers at 1.5 and 2.4μm, pumped with CW and pulsed fibre lasers. Work at the industrial and academic partners’ sites will also be required. The post is for 2 years in the first instance but may be extendable to the end of the project (Sept 2019) if circumstances permit.
You will join the existing lasers group at the Institute of Photonics led by Dr. Jennifer Hastie and Prof. Alan Kemp. More specifically, you will be part of a project led by Dr Vasili Savitski (Researcher Co-Investigator) and Alan Kemp (PI). The Institute is an applied research unit within Strathclyde’s Department of Physics. As such it works extensively with industry, both directly and, especially in the laser engineering area, in collaboration with the Fraunhofer Centre for Applied Photonics.
