Postdoctoral Research Opportunities


We welcome expressions of interest from researchers who are passionate about advancing the frontiers of experimental photonics, nanostructured materials, and light–matter interactions.

Our group conducts discovery-driven research across a range of topics, including nonlinear optics, plasmonics, chirality, structured light, and quantum-inspired photonic phenomena. We are particularly interested in developing and studying unexplored regimes of light–matter coupling, using high-intensity lasers, structured fields, and nanoscale materials. Future projects will continue to span fundamental and applied questions in these areas.

New postdoctoral research associate (PDRA) positions are advertised as funding becomes available. Prospective applicants are encouraged to check this page periodically for updates on specific opportunities. We are also open to supporting outstanding candidates in applying for independent fellowships or external funding schemes.

Our group culture emphasises scientific rigour, technical excellence, and collaborative working. We value both independence and teamwork, and we are committed to maintaining a supportive and inclusive research environment. More information about how we work together as a team is available here.


If you are interested in joining our team as a postdoctoral researcher, we encourage you to send an expression of interest, including a CV and a brief description of your research background and interests, to Professor Valev (v.k.valev@bath.ac.uk). Informal enquiries are welcome.
