Nanophotonics

This scientific discussion meeting asks which nanoscale optical sensing approaches can deliver affordable, information-rich healthcare measurements. Its focus is continuous biochemical monitoring beyond conventional physiological wearables and diagnostic sensors. The programme examines interferometric biomarker detection, surface-enhanced Raman assays, nanophotonic sensing and translation toward practical diagnostic tools, comparing modalities and their potential for use across healthcare settings. Jeremy Baumberg and Duncan Graham organize the meeting; programme participants include Selim Ünlü, Karen Faulds and Jennifer Dionne. Sessions take place on 9–10 November 2026, 09:00–17:00 GMT (Europe/London, UTC+0), at the Royal Society, 6–9 Carlton House Terrace, London, with online attendance also available. The meeting is intended for researchers working in relevant fields. Advance registration is required; choose a free online or in-person ticket on the event-specific Eventbrite page. Optional lunch costs GBP 25 per day. A poster session is planned for 9 November. Poster proposals are due by 9 October and may be accepted on a rolling basis, subject to capacity. The scientific programme may change.

Build scalable computational pipelines for biophysical models of neurons and neural populations. Apply machine learning and statistical inference to neural recordings, construct biologically realistic networks and help shape research directions at an early-stage company working at the intersection of neuroscience and computation. On-site engagement is preferred and international candidates may apply. The advertised salary range is USD 132,000–259,000; no fixed closing date is stated.

RIKEN’s Nanoscale Quantum Photonics Laboratory seeks one postdoctoral researcher for its collaboration with the Institute for Basic Science. The project combines optical spectroscopy and nanophotonics with scanning-tunneling nanospectroscopy to investigate quantum states and energy conversion in low-dimensional structures and molecular interfaces. The Wako-based appointment begins in January 2027 or later by agreement. Annual contracts may be renewed through August 2029. The official advert explicitly accepts applications until the position is filled and supplies document-upload instructions.
