About this position

The Optoelectronics Division of the Institute of Microelectronics and Optoelectronics at Warsaw University of Technology is recruiting a Post-Doc / assistant professor for a project entitled Photonics Integrated Circuits for Free Space Optical Communications (FSOC) (FENG.01.01-IP.01-A0MR/24-00).

This is a full-time temporary position in Warsaw, Poland, focused on the design, development, construction, and testing of components and system parameters for free-space optical communications. The role also includes developing measurement systems, acquiring and analysing data, preparing reports and presentations, writing scientific publications, presenting at conferences, and preparing technical specifications for procurement of materials and equipment.

The post is especially relevant for researchers working in photonics, optical communications, integrated photonic systems, and waveguide circuits. Practical experience with photonic structures, devices, and systems in the near- and mid-infrared spectral ranges is highlighted, along with experience in the design and testing of optical communication components and systems. Knowledge of free-space optical communication is considered an additional advantage.

Eligibility information states that applicants should hold a PhD or equivalent in photonics, optics, physics, electrical engineering, or a related field, with the doctorate completed by the start date. Candidates should also have very good English and a scientific profile aligned with the division’s specialization.

The position is funded through the project itself and offers additional employee benefits at WUT, including a thirteenth salary after six months, health care, holiday and sports co-financing, language classes, and other welfare support. Applications are submitted by email to [email protected]. The deadline is 3 September 2026 at 23:59 (Europe/Warsaw).
