Doctoral Student in Integrated Photonics

Doctoral Student in Integrated Photonics

Position overview:

We are looking for a motivated PhD student to join our integrated photonics research, focusing on experiments. You will design and simulate photonic integrated circuits (PICs), take an active role in fabrication (process flow, cleanroom work, and/or foundry coordination), and develop experiments to characterize and validate device performance. The position offers hands‑on experience across the full PIC workflow—from design and fabrication to experimental verification.

• Starting Date:
  Immediately available
• Duration: 4 years
• Location:
  
  Neuchâtel, Switzerland. Neuchâtel is in the French‑speaking part of Switzerland, between Lake Neuchâtel and the Jura Mountains, offering an ideal setting for both outdoor and city activities.
• Salary:
  Competitive annual income starting from 50,000 CHF, with annual increases

• Master’s degree in physics or related engineering disciplines
• Background in experimental and/or theoretical work, ideally with knowledge of laser physics, laser engineering, nonlinear optics, or electronics
• Proficiency in programming (e.g., Python, Julia, Matlab)

• Brief summary of the Master’s thesis or internship
• Contact information for two or more references (recommendation letters are encouraged)
