Graduate Student Openings

    We plan to recruit one to two graduate students in the 2016–17 academic year. Both Master and PhD applicants are welcome. International students are particularly invited to apply.

    The admitted students will be given full studentship (scholarship), with stipend sufficient for living expenses and tuition. Our research directions include photonics, fiber nonlinearities, microwave photonics, optical signal processing, and biophotonics, but may extend to related areas. We also welcome proposals from students regarding different areas of research.

    To apply, you need to have a bachelor’s degree in electrical and electronic engineering, or equivalent (such as physics, biomedical engineering), by June 2016. A Master degree would be a plus for PhD applicants. You should apply directly to the University through the Graduate School, but if you are interested in working in the above areas, you should put my name as the proposed supervisor and photonics as the proposed study area, and I will consider your applications further.

    If you have specific questions regarding the openings, you can email me, but remember to put in “Graduate Student Openings 2016-17” as the subject line so I know it’s not a computer-generated mass email.

Research Assistant / Post-doc Opening

    Application is invited for a post-doc position in biophotonics (e.g. optical coherence tomography (OCT) and coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) systems etc.). The candidate should have a PhD in electrical and electronic engineering, or equivalent (such as applied physics, biomedical engineering, etc), and should have experience in hardware implementation. Programming is an advantage, but not mandatory. Candidates without a doctorate may be considered at the Research Associate levels.

    Qualified candidates please email me, and put in “Post-doc Opening 2016-17” as the subject line. Appointment may be made for up to three years, and renewable upon satisfactory performance. Remuneration will be competitive and commensurate with experience.
