Postdoctoral Research Scholar | University of Central Florida

The Optical Imaging System Laboratory (https://oisl.creol.ucf.edu/) at CREOL, The College of Optics and Photonics at the University of Central Florida is seeking postdoctoral scholars to work in the fast-growing field of photonic computing and imaging. Specific areas of interests are the application of artificial intelligence (AI) in optics and optical/photonic instrumentation for computing, computational imaging, and numerical methods in optical/photonic design and modeling. Candidates with one or more of the following backgrounds/skills are encouraged to apply for the position:

1. Computational imaging and machine learning (ML) based image processing: Fluent in high-level interpreted language (python/matlab) and have experience in one of the popular ML frameworks.
2. System level instrumentation: Have a good foundation in electrical circuitry and familiar with embedded system development. Experience in high-speed data acquisition and signal generation is a plus.
3. Photonic modeling: Familiar with numerical methods (finite difference, frequency/time domain solvers) in photonic simulation, and can use commercial photonic simulation software for device optimization.

Applicants must have a Ph.D. from an accredited institution in optics and photonics, engineering, physical sciences, computer science, or other closely related disciplines at the time of appointment.  Please send a CV to Dr. Sean Pang, [email protected].

CREOL is one of the world’s foremost institutions for research and education in optics and photonic science and engineering.
