Research Fellow in Physics

Refractive index modification in novel photoinducible polymers.

The aim of the project is to develop photoinducible polymers for a range of applications. The candidate will work as a part of a highly interdisciplinary team of chemists, physicists, and material scientists. This targeted 18- month project will be hosted in the Science Foundation Ireland funded centre for Advanced materials and Bio-Engineering Research (AMBER).

The candidate will be based in the group of Professor Louise Bradley in the School of Physics, but will also work closely with Prof. Larisa Florea an expert in photoinducible materials and two-photon polymerization in the School of Chemistry. They will also collaborate closely with other project partners in the Royal College of Surgeons Ireland and AMBER.
