Fully Funded PhD and Postdoc Positions in Quantum Photonics, Integrated Photonics, and Color Centers Delft University of Technology in Netherlands

QuTech at Delft University of Technology is advertising fully funded PhD and postdoc positions in quantum photonics. The research topics include superconducting single-photon detectors on integrated photonic circuits, diamond/SiC color centers on large-scale photonics, and silicon color center physics and applications.

The lab is led by Carlos Errando Herranz, Assistant Professor and PI in the Quantum and Computer Engineering Division at EEMCS, QuTech. The group focuses on scalable quantum photonic integrated circuits and spin quantum memories in silicon, with strong links to experimental quantum technologies and integrated photonics.

Applicants should have, or soon complete, an MSc in applied physics, electrical/mechanical/communications engineering, optics, integrated photonics, or a nearby field. The work is largely experimental, but a basic comfort with theory is also expected. The post emphasizes clear thinking, critical attitude, and collaborative working style.

Funding is explicitly stated as fully funded. No deadline is given in the post. To apply, email the professor with a CV, two references, BSc/MSc transcripts, and five concise bullet points explaining why you fit the role. The post asks applicants to avoid AI-generated fluff.

This opportunity is especially relevant for students and researchers interested in physics, electrical engineering, materials science, integrated photonics, and quantum technologies.
