About this position

PhD opportunity in Photonic Sensors for Light-Starved Applications at Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e), Netherlands.

This PhD project focuses on cutting-edge photonic sensors, nanophotonics, and near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) for ultra-low-light detection. The research aims to develop novel integrated photonic chips that can operate at femtowatt/low-picowatt light levels, enabling new sensing capabilities for applications in healthcare, fluorescence-based analysis, Raman scattering, and the energy transition.

You will work with advanced semiconductor device designs and fabrication methods, using the NanoLab@TU/e cleanroom facility and collaborating with other TU/e research groups on low-noise amplification and system integration. The project also includes exploration of real-world low-light sensing applications with industrial partners.

Eligibility highlights: a recent master’s degree (or equivalent) in Physics, Electrical Engineering, or Materials Science; the degree must have been obtained within the last two years. Applicants should be research-oriented, motivated for experimental work, able to work in an interdisciplinary team, interested in teaching and student coaching, and fluent in English at C1 level.

Funding and conditions: full-time employment for four years, with an intermediate assessment after nine months. Salary is in Dutch university scale P (€3,204–€4,051 gross per month), plus holiday allowance and year-end bonus. The position includes pension, leave, training, commuting/work-from-home support, and international candidate support.

Application: apply online through the vacancy page and submit a cover letter, CV with publications, and contact details for three references. The vacancy remains open until filled.
