Postdoc in nanophotonics - Hiring in process/Finished, not possible to apply

Job description

The overall research activities of the group relate to the development of nanophotonic components regarding design, manufacturing and integration. Ongoing research projects are focused on dynamic photonic crystal-based single-mode lasers for telecom and LiDAR applications, quantum dot-based single-photon emitters, and electronics-photonics integration, "silicon-photonics", where photonic functions are incorporated into a full-scale CMOS process. The intention of the position is primarily to strengthen the group's competence in terms of epitaxy and component processing. As such, it will be of central importance to all ongoing research projects and thus also cover all aspects of the development work, from design and simulation to system experiments. The position does not include any requirements on teaching, but depending on needs and interest, this can be offered.

What we offer

• A position at a leading technical university that generates knowledge and skills for a sustainable future
• Engaged and ambitious colleagues along with a creative, international and dynamic working environment
• Front-line research at the KTH Electrum Laboratory with state-of-the-art facilities for semiconductor processing and nanotechnology.
