The University of Southampton is a unique place in which to explore what you are capable of: as one of the worlds top universities, we know what it takes to create an exceptional student experience. Our School of Physics & Astronomy is one of the UKs top physics departments, delivering exceptional academic courses underpinned by a dynamic culture of innovation and research. We take particular pride in the Schools uniquely collaborative team spirit, in which our colleagues support one another in their endeavours.

You will join our Quantum, Light and Matter group which brings together our research in the core thematic areas of quantum science and technology, advanced materials, nanoscience, biophysics and photonics. We provide a supportive environment that enables you to be successful in developing your research activities by collaborating with groups from areas such as nanotechnology and nanofabrication, optoelectronics, computer science, engineering, life sciences, chemistry and mathematics. You will be able to use key facilities and infrastructure such as the Southampton Nanofabrication Centre cleanroom as well as the Physics mechanical workshop with strong expertise in instrument development.

We welcome applications from those within the experimental physics area and strengthening our core research domains, while enhancing this portfolio with new ideas and directions. As member of the QLM group you will work together to provide the experimental infrastructure and expertise required to deliver a well-rounded physics education, which includes an active role in our experimental laboratory teaching activities. The Quantum, Light and Matter Research Group has 15 permanent academic staff, 20 research staff and approximately 35 PhD students.
