We are looking for a Research Fellow (RF) to join a newly funded project led by A/P Yang Zhao(RG2/24, Ministry of Education). This position aims to fulfill the project’s objectives of advancing three-dimensional (3D) six-wave-mixing (6WM) spectroscopy for real-time molecular materials characterization. The appointed RF will play a pivotal role in developing computational simulations, theoretical methods, and practical protocols to extract photophysical and photochemical information from 6WM spectroscopy signals. This work will significantly contribute to MSE’s and NTU’s advancement in the field of energy materials and advanced sensor development.
Key Responsibilities:
Conduct thorough literature review and generate periodic updates;
Lead the design and implementation of computational models for 6WM spectroscopy signals;
Set up standardized high-throughput data collection and analysis workflows;
Develop and optimize algorithms for complex quantum systems dynamics;
Supervise undergraduate and graduate student projects;
Coordinate collaborative work within external collaborators;
Generate periodic progress reports as required by funding agency.
Job Requirements:
PhD in Materials Science/Physics/Computational science or related fields;
A strong track record of research ability and demonstrated contribution to research (e.g., more than 20 peer-reviewed publications, state-level grant applications, patents) required;
At least 8 years relevant postdoctoral training or research work experience required;
Proficiency in scientific programming (C++, Fortran, Matlab, Python);
Familiarity with the field of open quantum system systems and non-equilibrium dynamics preferred;
Good written and oral communication skills.
We regret to inform that only shortlisted candidates will be notified.
