The Semiconductor Research Group () within the Department of Physics is seeking to appoint a highly motivated Research Fellow to contribute to groundbreaking research and development in SiGe epitaxial materials, with a focus on enabling quantum sensors and quantum computer processors. Quantum sensors, with their ability to detect minute changes in physical parameters with unprecedented sensitivity, are expected to revolutionize diverse fields such as healthcare, environmental monitoring, and navigation, while quantum computing holds the potential to redefine computation and data processing. This role offers a unique opportunity to be at the forefront of these transformative technologies, driving innovation and scientific discovery in quantum devices.

As a key member of our dynamic research team, you will play a crucial role in advancing the characterization of epitaxial materials and supporting epitaxial growth research. Your work will directly contribute to the realization of cutting-edge quantum technologies, helping to address some of the most significant challenges in quantum sensor and processor development.
Join us in shaping the future of quantum computing and materials science at one of the UK鈥檚 leading research institutions.

The ideal candidate will possess exceptional expertise in the physics and technology of group-IV epitaxial semiconductor materials and devices, with an emphasis on SiGe. You will have extensive hands-on experience, spanning several years, in the structural and electrical characterization of group-IV semiconductor materials and devices using advanced techniques such as TEM, SEM, AFM, XRD, XRR, FTIR, SE, Hall effect measurements, and C-V and I-V characterization.

You will be an outstanding communicator, capable of collaborating effectively within a multidisciplinary research team while also demonstrating the independence to drive your projects forward. Strong planning and time management skills are essential, enabling you to define clear milestones, establish realistic timelines, and ensure timely and efficient project execution.

Your responsibilities will include taking a leading role in routine characterization, as well as driving research and development of SiGe epitaxial materials, synthesised using in-house state-of-the-art facilities. Additionally, you will contribute to the strategic direction of the group, report your findings to colleagues and collaborators, and disseminate your work through high-impact journal publications and conference presentations. With your talent, passion, and expertise, you will join a team dedicated to pushing the boundaries of what is scientifically and technologically possible, making meaningful contributions to the advancement of quantum sensor and computing technologies.

PhD Status

If you are near submission of your PhD, or have not yet had it conferred, any offers of employment will be made at Research Assistant level, at the highest spinal point of pay grade 5 (拢34,610 per annum).

Upon receipt of evidence confirming the successful award of your PhD, you will be promoted to Research Fellow, at the lowest spinal point of grade 6 (拢35,608 per annum).

This is an exciting opportunity to join the Superconductivity and Magnetism Group within the Department of Physics at the 神马福利影片.

We are seeking to appoint a Research Fellow to work on a range of projects as part of an EPSRC Funded project entitled 鈥淪ingle Crystal Growth at Warwick鈥�. The work focuses on the production of high-quality crystals of oxides, borides, chalcogenides and intermetallic materials. These include superconductors, various low dimensional materials, frustrated magnets, skyrmion and topological materials. The crystals will be grown using various techniques such as the floating zone method using optical mirror furnaces, the Czochralski method using a tetra-arc furnace, the Bridgman, flux growth and the chemical vapour transport techniques. Other techniques will also be used as required.

In addition to crystal growth, the work will also involve the characterisation of the crystals produced, through measurements of their structural, magnetic, and transport properties. Extensive laboratory based powder and single crystal x-ray diffraction work will be required. There will be scope for taking part in experiments at international facilities using neutron and x-ray scattering, as well as muon techniques.

You should be trained in experimental solid-state synthesis, the preparation of intermetallic, and have experience of crystal growth techniques and low-temperature experimental methods.

You will be an excellent communicator, capable of working effectively both independently and as part of a lively research team. You will possess excellent planning and time management skills to ensure your research objectives are achieved effectively.
If you have not yet been awarded your PhD but are near submission or have recently submitted your PhD, any offers of employment will be made as Research Assistant on level 5 of the University grade structure. Upon successful award of your PhD and evidence of this fact, you will be promoted to Research Fellow on the first point of the level 6 of the University grade structure.
