Research Area: s-SNOM, Near-field Optics


Team Profiles

Prof. Jun Lu

Prof. Jun Lu joined the Departments of Chemistry and Physics at NUS in February 2025 as a Presidential Young Professor. His research focuses on chiral nano–topological engineering, thermal photonics, ultrafast light–heat interactions, and structured light. Group website: www.junlulab.com


We are seeking a highly motivated Visiting Scholar to join our research group working on near-field nano-optics, with a particular focus on scattering-type scanning near-field optical microscopy (s-SNOM) and related techniques.


Qualification

We welcome applications from candidates with a background in physics, optics, materials science, electrical engineering,computer science,math or related STEM fields.

Required / Preferred Qualifications:

  • Hands-on experience with s-SNOM, near-field optical microscopy, or scanning probe techniques is highly desirable

  • Solid background in optics, nano-optics, or condensed matter physics

  • Experience with infrared / THz spectroscopy, AFM-based systems, or ultrafast optics is a plus

  • Strong motivation for experimental research and independent problem-solving

Responsibilities

  1. Conduct independent and collaborative research projects and drive high-quality publications;

  2. Participate in experiment design, nanodevice fabrication, and photothermal/spectroscopic/thermal-transport characterization;

  3. Mentor students and support projects and collaborations;

  4. Actively engage in grant applications and academic exchange.


Application

Please email the following materials to jun_lu@nus.edu.sg (email subject: Visiting Scholar_Name_CurrentAffiliation_Availability):

  1. CV (including publication list);

  2. 1–3 representative papers (full text);

  3. 1–2 pages describing past research and future plans;

  4. Contact information for at least three referees (name, title, affiliation, email).

Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis until the position is filled. Start date is

flexible and negotiable.
