Doctoral and Postdoctoral Openings in Optics and Photonics

ABOUT THE POSITION We are looking for highly motivated graduate researchers and postdoctoral fellows in the research areas of optics and photonics. We believe massless photons are extremely critical information carriers with the ultimate data speed. We thus strive to bring optical solutions to real-world applications such as augmented reality, 3D displays, and integrated quantum light sources. For prospective postdocs, please contact Shoufeng directly by email (shoufeng@tamu.edu <shoufeng@tamu.edu>;]) with your CV, a description of your research interests, and contact information for three references. If you have extra information such as independent funding experience, please also put it in the email. For prospective graduate students, we would like you to have solid scientific strength in one of the areas: physics, engineering, chemistry, materials science, and biological science. Experience with optical experiments, fabrication, and analytical/numerical simulations is a plus but not necessary. Both graduate research assistantships and university fellowships are available.
