About this position

Université de Namur is advertising a PhD position in numerical photonics within the MSCA doctoral network SPARK. The project is titled Perfect Broadband Temporal Metamaterial Absorbers and sits at the intersection of physics, optics, electromagnetism, computational physics, materials science, and electrical engineering.

The selected doctoral researcher will work with the Lobet research team at the University of Namur on theoretical and numerical calculations, as well as experimental fabrication and characterization, in the emerging field of time-varying photonics. The research aims to realize perfect broadband absorbers using time-varying metamaterials, including modelling homogeneous lossy time-varying media and applying machine-learning optimization for broadband absorption.

The project includes secondments: 6 months at TU/e for nanofabrication and characterization and 3 months at JCMWave for industry exposure. The SPARK network also connects researchers across several institutions, including TU/e, Imperial College London, University of Navarra, Autonomous University of Madrid, INESC MN/Técnico Lisboa, and others.

Eligibility highlights: a master’s degree in physics, astrophysics, applied physics, optics, electrical engineering, material engineering, or a closely related field; no doctoral degree at recruitment; compliance with the MSCA mobility rule for Belgium; strong English skills; basic French listed; experience in photonics, numerical methods, HPC/scientific computing, nanofabrication, or optical characterization is an advantage.

Funding: the position is funded for 36 months by the SPARK MSCA network, with an additional 12 months funded by the University of Namur to complete a 4-year thesis. The gross salary starts around 3000 EUR/month, with possible mobility and family allowances depending on status.

How to apply: send a CV, master’s course list with ECTS and grades, personal letter, up to three referees, and any other relevant documents by email to [email protected] before 15 November 2026. The post also links to the SPARK doctoral network website and the UNamur research group page for more information.

Funding details

MSCA doctoral network PhD position funded for 36 months through the SPARK Horizon Europe network, with an additional 12 months funded by the University of Namur to complete a 4-year thesis.

Includes secondments at TU/e (6 months) and JCMWave (3 months), plus training and conference/network participation.

What's required

Master’s degree in physics, astrophysics, applied physics, optics, electrical engineering, material engineering, or a closely related subject. Applicants must not already hold a doctoral degree. MSCA mobility rule applies: the candidate must not have resided or carried out their main activity in Belgium for more than 12 months in the 36 months immediately before recruitment. Strong English skills are required; French at basic level is listed. Experience in photonics, numerical methods, scientific computing/HPC, nanofabrication, or optical characterization is an asset but not mandatory. Teamwork, autonomy, transparency, and willingness to collaborate with external partners are expected.

How to apply

Prepare a CV with publications and teaching experience, a list of master courses with ECTS and grades, a personal letter, up to three referees, and any other relevant information. Send the complete application by email to [email protected] before 15/11/2026. You may also contact Prof. Michaël Lobet for more information.
