The College of Science seeks a diverse and inclusive workforce and is committed to equality of opportunity. We welcome applications from all and recruit on the basis of merit, regardless of age, race, gender, religion, marital status and family responsibilities, or disability.

The Division of Physics and Applied Physics (PAP) at SPMS invites applications for a Visiting Professor position in Physics, with a focus on exciton-polariton systems and their nonlinear properties in both classical and quantum regimes.

Position Overview

The successful candidate will:

• Collaborate closely with PAP faculty on frontline research in exciton-polaritons, quantum fluids of light, and polariton condensates.
• Develop next-generation polaritonic platforms, including on-chip neuromorphic and quantum photonic devices.
• Lead the formation of research consortia and facilitate the submission of large-scale interdisciplinary research proposals (e.g., MOE AcRF Tier 3, NRF-CRP).
• Mentor students and researchers in advanced experimental techniques and device fabrication.

Key Qualifications

Applicants should hold a Ph.D. in Physics or a closely related discipline and demonstrate:

• At least 15 years of research experience in the study of light–matter interactions, polariton physics, or nanophotonics.
• Proven expertise in:
• Fabrication of polariton devices (e.g., microcavities, perovskite metasurfaces, topological lattices).
• Ultrafast time-resolved spectroscopy and advanced optical characterization.
• Integration of 2D materials, organic/inorganic semiconductors, and hybrid photonic structures.
• Experience in the coordination of large research consortia.

Enquiries about the position can be addressed to Professor Lew Wen Siang, at WenSiang@ntu.edu.sg.

Applications will be accepted until the positions are filled. All applications and materials submitted will be held in strict confidence. Only shortlisted candidates will be notified.
