PhD positing in Quantum Theory of Chiral Light Matter Interactions
University of Glasgow
We are looking for a motivated student interested in working on the quantum mechanics of light matter interaction, in particular chiral matter.
Matter can be chiral, that is showing a lack of symmetry in its structure. Molecules in particular can exist in two forms which are mirror images of one another, and yet differ fundamentally in their chemical or biological function. The natural handedness of circularly polarised light can be used for probing and trapping molecules in a manner that distinguishes the mirror image forms. Even atoms, which are naturally not chiral, can be rendered susceptible to the handedness of light, making light a widely applicable tool when studying the effects of handedness in matter. On a more fundamental level, chirality is related to parity violation and hence the weak force. This is an interdisciplinary field of research which has seen much interest in recent years from chemists, biologists as well as theoretical and experimental physicists.
This project will explore signatures of chirality in light matter interaction by tailoring the structure of the light field. It is possible to create chiral optical lattices where neighbouring lattice sites interact differently with chiral matter. This promises to be an ideal tool to study chiral effects in many body physics and thermodynamics. The successful student will therefore have the opportunity to work on a range of topics on in quantum mechanics related to chiral light-matter interactions.

PhD in Advanced THz microscopy for biological applications
University of Birmingham
This PhD research programme will look at developing a THz imaging technique suitable for Life Sciences that exploits emerging concepts from infrared and optical microscopy as well as computer science (e.g. machine learning, compressive sensing, etc.).

PhD Studentship: Hybrid Photonic/Plasmonic Organic Light Emitting Field-Effect Transistors: One Step Closer Toward Electrically-Driven Organic Lasers
University of Hull and Sheffield University
We seek a PhD student who will be an integral part of a joint research team between the University of Hull and the University of the Sheffield working on the development of efficient organic light emitting field effect transistors (OLEFET) for the realisation of net gain in organic laser devices. To achieve a net gain it is necessary to strongly confine the electromagnetic field surrounding the emitting material and generate effective optical feedback. Our research vision is to develop organic based light emitting field effect transistors coupled to a high quality photonic or hybrid/plasmonic cavities. The planar geometry of OLEFET will allow us to integrate either vertical or lateral optical cavities within the device channel with no overlap between the recombination zone and the metallic electrodes leading to almost a lossless electrically-driven light emitting optical resonator, a device that is key ingredient to achieve net gain in organic laser devices.
The student will be in charge of the development of techniques that will allow the integration of light emitting field effect transistors into photonic or hybrid photonic/plasmonic cavities. This will require the use of wide range of fabrication techniques such as spin-coating, high vacuum deposition techniques for wide range of materials (organic, dielectric and metal), optical and electron beam lithography techniques. The fabricated samples and devices will be tested and characterised using wide range of electrical testing and optical spectroscopy facilities. You will be part of Nano3 research group in Hull and the Electronic and Photonic Molecular Materials Group in Sheffield.

PhD Studentship: Synthesis of Theranostic Nanomedicine for Thrombolysis
University of Hull
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a leading cause of death worldwide. Critical to CVD is the blood cell, the platelet as excessive activation of this cell can lead to occlusive thrombi, causing stroke. Although it is possible to targeting thrombi in patients with thrombolytic drugs, this therapy has significant risk of serious side-effects. Therefore there is a need to produce more targeted and effective treatment.
This PhD sets out to develop a series of state of the art therapeutic imaging nanomedicines or ‘theranostic’ agents for advancing targeted and personalised therapy in stroke patients. The research focuses on the development of ‘smart theranostic’ Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) thrombolytic agents targeted to the activated platelets in a thrombus. The development of nanomaterials for this purpose is an important strategy for achieving critical advances in diagnostic medical imaging and drug delivery.
This PhD will involve the material synthesis of quantum dot nanomaterials and organic synthesis of lanthanide chelates, which will be targeted to platelets within the thrombi. The successful candidate will be expected to have a solid base in synthetic organic chemistry, coordination chemistry or nanomaterial expertise, with a willingness to be involved in in vitro platelet biology techniques and imaging studies.

Open Post-Doc position in metamaterials modelling and design
CRPP, University of Bordeaux
An open post-doctoral position is available at the Centre de Recherche Paul Pascal (CRPP) at the
University of Bordeaux in modeling and design of optical self-assembled metamaterials. The person
hired will be a part of a local consortium devoted to the modelling, fabrication and characterization of
self-assembled optical metamaterials in the frame of the AMADEus (Advanced MAterials by DEsign)
Labex.
Recent progress in bottom-up physical chemistry has permitted separating the fabrication of
meta-atoms that consist of composite nanomaterials and are synthesized using nanochemistry and
colloidal sciences, from the large ensemble assemblies into metamaterials and metasurfaces. It has
been shown that meta-atoms with tailored magnetic and electric multipolar resonances could be
produced at optical frequencies and their assembly into truly bulk magnetic metamaterials at visible
frequencies. In contrast to top-down fabrication, these fabrication techniques enable the production of
vast amounts of meta-atoms and as a result, large volumes and surfaces may be produced.
The post-doctoral candidate will be integrated in a multidisciplinary team that is part of AMADEus,
involving researchers in nanochemistry, self-assembly, soft matter and optics of metamaterials. He or
she will assist the team in the design and modelling of optical metamaterials and metasurfaces with
applications in high 3D optical magnetism, perfect absorption as well as develop numerical methods
mixing electromagnetic and heat transfer calculations for a specific heat management project.
Candidate Profile
The project requires a scientist with excellent skills in numerical modelling and a solid
background in optics and heat science. Furthermore, the candidate should have excellent
written and oral skills in English and be able to work in a team.

Your Role
The successful candidates will be expected to conduct research under the guidance of Prof. Daniele Brida with the aim of obtaining a PhD in Physics.
The research project is titled: ”Ultrafast 2D mid-IR/vibrational micro-spectroscopy” and targets the development of an experimental setup that will combine the generation of ultrabroadband pulses in the mid-IR spectral region (from 20 to 5 µm wavelength) with their coherent superimposition for multidimensional spectroscopy. Mid-IR enables the direct interrogation of vibrational resonances. Our approach will allow the full detection of the sample response via direct detection in amplitude and phase of the electric field oscillation by means of electro-optic sampling of the mid-IR pulses. This system will be coupled to a home-made mid-IR microscope that will add spatial resolution. A second activity will be the application of broadband mid-IR pulses to the sensing of relevant organic/bio molecules in the “finger-print” region. This task will exploit the field-enhancement in the mid-IR provided by plasmonic antennas based on heavily doped Ge. This research has the potential to allow the detection of vibrational correlations in complex molecular systems like proteins in a sample with diluted concentrations that mimic the situation that occurs in vivo.
