- Strong communicator, capable of autonomous work and collaborative team contributions; mentor PhD students.
- Excellent planning, time‑management, and project‑delivery skills.
**Key Responsibilities**
- Design, build, and optimize THz imaging systems and robotic interfaces.
- Perform optical alignment, control‑software development, and data‑analysis for THz time‑domain spectroscopy.
- Develop novel THz imaging techniques and integrate them into a medical‑grade robotic platform.
- Collaborate with a multidisciplinary research group; share progress and troubleshoot problems.
- Co‑lead student projects, supervise PhD candidates; assist in grant writing and publications.
- Ensure research objectives meet project milestones and quality standards.
**Required Skills**
- THz modulation, waveguide, polarizer, and antenna design experience.
- Proficiency with THz time‑domain spectroscopy setups, optical alignment, and control software.
- Programming in Python/Matlab or equivalent for data processing and system control.
- Robotics integration skills: mechanical interface design, motion control, and safety compliance.
- Strong analytical and quantitative problem‑solving abilities.
- Effective written and verbal communication; dissemination of research results.
**Required Education & Certifications**
- PhD in a relevant discipline (Physics, Mechanical Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, Computer Science, Electronic Engineering, Robotics).
- Confirmation of PhD award (or near‑completion for initial RA appointment).
