Postdoctoral Position in Nanophotonics

The Kuebler Group seeks candidates for a postdoctoral position in nanophotonics. The postdoctoral scholar will work with a multidisciplinary team at the Air Force Research Laboratory and other partners to simulate, design, fabricate, and characterize nanophotonic devices that leverage self-collimation [1] and controlled defects [2] to direct the flow of light [3]. Domestic and international candidates having a strong background in photonics, microfabrication, electromagnetics, optical physics, or related disciplines are encouraged to apply.  The successful applicant will hold a PhD in a related field and be eager to learn new techniques, including multiphoton lithography, scanning electron microscopy, laser-based optical characterization, LabView and instrumentation development, and simulation by finite-difference time-domain and related methods.  The position will include non-technical professional training that helps the scholar advance toward their career goal.  Candidates should send their resume directly to Professor Stephen M. Kuebler at kuebler@ucf.edu.
