PhD Candidate in Lithium Tantalate Integrated Photonics
1 month ago
About the job
We are searching for a creative, skilled, and ambitious candidate for our activities on nonlinear integrated photonics.
The candidate aims are to design, manufacture, and study advanced photonic integrated waveguides and microresonators based on a thin-film periodically poled lithium tantalate nanowaveguide platform. The main focus will be the development of advanced nanofabrication technologies for optical waveguide fabrication with low optical loss and high optical nonlinearity to demonstrate breakthroughs in the efficiency and bandwidth of nonlinear optical amplification and frequency conversion. The research will be performed at the Department of Electronic Systems, NTNU, and supported by scientific partners in Switzerland and China.
The candidate will report to the Head of Department. The supervisor for this position is Associate Professor Johann Riemensberger.
Duties of the position
Development of nanofabrication processes in the NTNU Nanolab cleanroom. Photonic chip design, manufacturing, and optical testing. Collaborate with an international network of scientific partners. Report research findings in international conferences and scientific articles. Take part in the Electronic and Telecommunications PhD program and fulfill the requirements for a PhD degree.
Required selection criteria
The PhD-position’s main objective is to qualify for work in research positions. The qualification requirement is that you have completed a master’s degree or second degree (equivalent to 120 credits) with a strong academic background in photonics, materials science, physics, electrical engineering, or nanotechnology (and other revelant disciplines) with focus on photonics.
