This postdoctoral position at Eindhoven University of Technology focuses on the development of photonic integrated circuits (PICs) for quantum technology, specifically within the Dutch-German InSynQ project. The research aims to advance integrated photonics for quantum sensing and metrology, leveraging indium phosphide (InP) monolithic technology at telecom wavelengths (around 1550 nm). The successful candidate will design and realize novel low-noise, ultra-stable tunable lasers and highly sensitive photodetectors, integrating these components onto PICs to enable miniaturized quantum sensing systems.

Collaboration with Menlo Systems, a German industry partner, will help transition these technologies into compact quantum clocks. The role involves working with external foundry platforms (such as JePPIX), coordinating with a PhD student developing advanced photodiodes, and testing chips in state-of-the-art optical characterization labs. The postdoc will maintain a broad overview of InP PIC technology and its ecosystem, contributing to a highly collaborative environment within the Photonic Integration group (PhI) at the Department of Electrical Engineering.

The group is part of the Casimir Institute for Future Chips and High-Tech Systems, which brings together research in integrated photonics, semiconductor technology, and quantum technology. The position offers full-time employment for two years, a competitive salary (scale 10), bonuses, and extensive benefits including training, childcare, sports facilities, and support for international candidates.

Applicants must have a PhD in Physics, Electrical Engineering, or a related field, with expertise in optics, photonics, semiconductor devices, and tunable diode lasers. Strong research skills, teamwork, and fluency in English are required. Applications should be submitted online, including a cover letter, CV, references, and a selection of best publications. The vacancy remains open until filled, with a final application deadline of November 16, 2025.
