Role Description
There are two positions available for this role: one for a duration of 2 years and another for 1 year.
We seek a Research Fellow to build and operate a scanning confocal microscope for nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centres in diamond. This equipment will develop and characterize nanodiamonds containing NV centres, created with Oliver Williams (Cardiff) and Element Six. These nanodiamonds will serve as nanoscale quantum sensors inside living cells, advancing biomedical applications. The appointment is for two years, with potential extension within our five-year Q-BIOMED Quantum Technology Hub. Collaborators outside Warwick will conduct live-cell measurements. The role may also involve work on our ensemble NV magnetometer for medical applications like assisting breast-cancer surgery.
You will collaborate with Professor Gavin Morley and his team at Warwick, as well as international partners in academia, the NHS, and industry. You will supervise PhD and undergraduate students daily.
Qualifications
Applicants should hold a PhD in Physics or a related field, or be close to obtaining one.
Experience in building or operating physics experiments, microwave/optical/electronic engineering, magnetic resonance, materials science, nanodiamonds, NV centres, or quantum technology is required. Good communication skills, independence, teamwork, and a record of publishing clear research papers are essential. Strong planning and time management skills are also necessary.
For detailed skills requirements, please see the personal specification in the attached job description.
