Postdoc positions in 3D integrated photonic-phononic circuit

Job Description

We are looking for excellent candidates for the ERC Consolidator project TRIFFIC (Three-Dimensional Integrated Photonic-Phononic Circuit). The goal of TRIFFIC is to develop an advanced signal processor with comprehensive spectral control by realizing on-demand and programmable optomechanics. We are hiring for 1 postdoc position.

Application procedure

Applicants are encouraged to discuss the projects with Prof. David Marpaung, prior to submitting applications.

Your profile

We are looking for highly motivated candidates with a background in photonics, physics, electronic engineering, or closely related areas. In particular, experience in one or more of the following topics is desired:

  • Fabrication of photonic and piezoelectric materials, for example, silicon, silicon nitride, aluminum nitride, lithium niobate.
  • Nonlinear optics in particular stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS).
  • Experimental work on microwave photonics and optical communication systems.
  • Modelling or experimental work on lasers and optical frequency combs.
