The University of Copenhagen’s Niels Bohr Institute invites applications for two three-year Postdoctoral Researcher positions in experimental nanophotonics and quantum optics in Professor Maiken H. Mikkelsen’s group. The group investigates how light and matter interact when light is confined to nanometre-scale volumes. Its work uses deterministically fabricated plasmonic nanocavities—metallic nanogaps formed around selected emitters—to access exceptionally strong light–matter interactions, inclu...

About this position

Postdoctoral Researcher positions are open in experimental nanophotonics, nonlinear optics, and quantum optics at the Niels Bohr Institute, University of Copenhagen, in the research group of Professor Maiken H. Mikkelsen.

The group is building a new experimental program focused on light–matter interactions at the nanoscale, combining nanophotonics with advanced optical spectroscopy and emerging quantum materials. Research directions may include fundamental studies of light–matter interactions in nanophotonic systems, quantum optics in structured photonic environments, nonlinear optical phenomena at the nanoscale, quantum and collective optical effects in low-dimensional materials, optical spectroscopy of emerging quantum materials, strong light–matter coupling, cavity quantum electrodynamics, and control of spontaneous emission, optical coherence, and quantum emitters.

Successful candidates will work on experimental research involving advanced optical spectroscopy, ultrafast optical measurements, nanofabrication, device characterization, and data analysis. The role may also involve supervision of students, collaboration with national and international partners, and other academic duties as needed.

Applicants must hold a PhD in physics, chemistry, materials science, or a closely related field. Strong experience in one or more of the following is preferred: nanophotonics, quantum optics, single-photon sources, nonlinear optical phenomena in subwavelength structures, ultrafast optics, and metamaterials/metasurfaces.

The position is for 2 years and is expected to start on 1 November 2026 or as soon as possible thereafter. The application deadline is 15 September 2026, 23:59 GMT+2. Applications must be submitted in English through the university’s online application system.

Required documents include a CV, diplomas (Master and PhD or equivalent), a complete publication list, and separate reprints of three particularly relevant papers. Contact: [email protected].
