<![CDATA[The UW Nanophotonics Laboratory (<a href="http://nanophotonics.ee.washington.edu" rel="nofollow">http://nanophotonics.ee.washington.edu</a>) is seeking a postdoctoral fellow to help us commercialize a new type of photonics technology that we have developed. Our goal is for this project to lead directly to a spin-off company from the UW, with the successful candidate taking a leadership role in this activity. We have a new approach based on nanoscale waveguides to building a class of widely used photonics components, which enables an order of magnitude or more improvement in performance. Our idea has been verified experimentally in lab, and it’s nearly the optimal time to try and turn it into a business. We need someone who has a superb technical background, and is also interested in commercially developing one of our technologies. We see this position as leading, if successful, to a role of co-founder or CTO at a new startup. Ideally, you would spend around six months working with us and publishing some papers on the technology. This would be a chance for you to gain experience with our technology and lab facility, and for us to get used to working together. Hopefully, we would then be in the position to write a business plan together and begin turning it into a company. The ideal candidate would have a PhD in optics or a related field, and be familiar with optoelectronic test and measurement. While an MBA or business background is not required, some familiarity with the business world is a plus. Most of all, the ideal candidate will be prepared to do some non-technical work; it takes a great deal more than just designing good waveguides in order to build an effective business. It will be vital for the candidate to be prepared to act as an effective salesperson for our ideas to investors and future employees, and to be prepared to build a technical organization. These are things that we have done before, that we can help out with. Salary for the postdoctoral position will be competitive. The position would require relocation to Seattle, WA, if you are not currently in the area. Please send resumes to recruiting@uwnano.org. If you do not have a PhD, you are not eligible for this position, but please do send us your resume if you are interested and have an applicable skill set; we may have a non-PhD position that will open up, and we can contact you if this happens. ]]>
