About this position

PhD opportunity at Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) in the Photonic Integration group, focused on non-volatile dual-mode optical memory for unconventional computing. The project explores new materials and tailored material properties for use in a photonic memory concept, combining multi-level non-volatile storage with electronic and photonic read/write methods. The end goal is a novel 3D-stacked multilevel memory device compatible with both electronic and photonic chips.

This research sits at the intersection of integrated photonics, semiconductor materials, and next-generation compute hardware. It is motivated by the growing need for faster and more energy-efficient computing beyond conventional CMOS scaling. The topic is closely linked to applications such as ultrahigh-bandwidth telecommunications, quantum and optical computing, AI datacenters, non-intrusive sensing, LiDAR, and intelligent manufacturing.

The position is embedded in the Photonic Integration group at TU/e, a research environment with long-standing expertise in integrated photonics and strong links to EU projects in photonic computing. The project is funded through a Holland High Tech grant in a jointly proposed research effort by TU/e and Motion Imager, giving the PhD candidate an opportunity to work on research with direct industrial relevance.

Eligibility highlights include a master’s degree in physics or engineering (or an equivalent university degree), with desired experience in semiconductors, photonics, or electronics. Applicants should be comfortable in interdisciplinary and industry-connected research, work independently, and have strong analytical and research-oriented skills. Fluent spoken and written English at C1 level is required.

Employment conditions include a full-time, four-year PhD appointment with an intermediate assessment after nine months. The salary follows the Dutch Universities Collective Labour Agreement, scale P, with gross monthly pay between €3,204 and €4,051, plus a year-end bonus and annual vacation pay. TU/e also offers training and support, commuting and home-working allowances, and access to campus facilities.

Applications should be submitted online and must include a cover letter, a CV with publications, and contact details for three references. The vacancy remains open until filled, and incomplete applications may not be considered. The position is based in Eindhoven, The Netherlands, at the Department of Electrical Engineering.
