What Your Job Will Be Like The Nanostructure Physics Department at the Center for Integrated Nanotechnologies (CINT) is seeking an outstanding Postdoctoral Appointee to work with a Department of Energy‑funded team to develop the next generation of quantum optical metasurfaces at the intersection of quantum optics and nanophotonics.

Responsibilities

Support research in nonlinear metasurfaces including harmonic generation, parametric down‑conversion and other quantum‑optical phenomena.

Design, simulate, fabricate, and/or characterize semiconductor based metasurfaces using electromagnetic simulation tools.

Study new physics phenomena and evaluate new concepts.

Report research results in top‑tier journals and professional conferences.

Generate new intellectual property through patent filing.

Qualifications We Require

PhD in Physics, Electrical Engineering, Optical Engineering, Optical Science, or other related STEM field conferred within five (5) years prior to employment

Experience in: performing original research, demonstrated through a record of invention, original publications in top‑tier journals, and conference papers and presentations

Photonic design using FDTD or FEM based techniques

Experimental characterization including guided wave and free space optics

Nonlinear and quantum optics

Experienced with nanofabrication such as electron beam lithography, RIE/ICP and wet etching, metallization, scanning electron micrography, etc.

Qualifications We Desire

Experience in single‑photon measurements

Familiarity with cryostats for low temperature measurements

Knowledge of quantum optics as it relates to quantum information science, and measurements

Experience with femtosecond lasers, amplifiers, and s

Expertise in fabrication, characterization, and usage of various III‑V and II‑VI semiconductors (e.g. silicon, GaAs/AlGaAs/InP/InAs, etc.)

Design and test of photonics devices (such as waveguides, gratings, modulators, lasers, amplifiers, optical detectors)

About Our Team Our department supports the Center for Integrated Nanotechnology (CINT). CINT is a Department of Energy/Office of Science Nanoscale Science Research Center operating as a national user facility devoted to establishing the scientific principles that govern the design, performance, and integration of nanoscale materials.
