Position Summary

The Institute for Lasers Photonics and Biophotonics at the University at Buffalo is seeking a Research Scientist to conduct multidisciplinary research in the Nanomaterials and Nanotechnologies for Electronics, and Chiral Photonics.

Job duties will include:
  • Conduct independent research in the field of chiral photonics, which involves
    experimental design by developing and synthesizing advanced chiral polymers such as poly-fluorenes, thiophenes, and diacetylenes for photonic and optoelectronic applications, as well as designing stimuli-responsive polymeric systems for dynamic chiroptical switches to enable high-efficiency devices through chemical fine-tuning.
  • Primary responsibilities include data analysis, drafting and preparing manuscripts with the PI and presentation of data at national and international scientific meetings.
  • Mentor and work closely with multiple Ph.D. and M.S. students as well as four principal investigators from different disciplines.
  • Frequent oral and written reporting will be required.

Minimum Qualifications

  • Ph.D. in a related field






Preferred Qualifications

The proposed research involves the development and synthesis of advanced polymeric materials, focusing on designing donor-acceptor chiral polymers with stimuli-responsive backbones for applications in optoelectronics and spintronics. Fabrication techniques include thin-film deposition, lithographic processing, and the creation of vitrimer-based self-standing films to enhance material performance and functionality. Characterization methods such as circular dichroism spectroscopy, magneto-optical Kerr effect (MOKE), and terahertz spectroscopy are employed to investigate chiral phonon modes and optical properties. Additionally, the study explores the integration of 0D and 2D magnetic and excitonic additive systems to develop in-situ heterostructures with chiral polymers, enabling enhanced circular dichroism responses. These efforts contribute to the advancement of hybrid material systems with tailored optical and magnetic properties for next-generation photonic and electronic applications.

  • Basic professional knowledge of the disciplinary field and the ability to relate this knowledge to various phenomena under study. Requires the ability to apply the theory, concepts and principles in the field of study or discipline
  • Demonstrated outstanding performance throughout their previous studies with their own publications.
  • Highly motivated and exceptionally organized team player with good communication skills.
  • Strong language and writing English skills are also important.
