About this position

Emergent Photonics Research Centre (EPicX) at Loughborough University is advertising a fully funded PhD in Spectrally Pure Topological Microcombs, in collaboration with the National Physical Laboratory (NPL).

The project focuses on developing extremely low-noise optical microcombs for precision timing, combining topological photonics, nonlinear optics, and optical frequency combs to create compact, ultrastable sources for future quantum technologies.

The successful candidate will join the research environment at EPicX and work closely with NPL, including research placements within their team. This is a strong opportunity for applicants interested in photonics, optical metrology, microcombs, and quantum-enabled photonic systems.

Funding: fully funded PhD studentship.

Location: Loughborough University + NPL.

Deadline: 16 October 2026.

Interested applicants should review the Loughborough University PhD advert and apply through the university’s official application route.

Funding details
