About this position
This postdoctoral project at Eindhoven University of Technology focuses on magneto-photonic integration for ultrafast memory and computing. The work aims to combine photonic integrated circuits with magnetic nanomaterials to create a new technology platform for on-chip optical memory, logic operations, and magneto-optical readout.
You will help develop a proof-of-concept system in which magnetic memory can be written and read directly with light. A specific ambition mentioned in the advert is an 8-bit memory demonstrator chip, making the project highly application-oriented while still centered on fundamental device innovation.
The position is embedded in the Photonic Integration Group in the Department of Electrical Engineering and carried out in close collaboration with the Physics of Nanostructures Group in Applied Physics. This interdisciplinary setting brings together expertise in photonic integration, magneto-optics, and nanostructured materials, with access to TU/e’s NanoLab@TU/e cleanroom for device work.
The research is part of the broader NL-ECO national consortium on energy-efficient computing, linking TU/e with other universities and industrial partners. The project therefore sits in a wider ecosystem of academic and industrial collaboration around future computing hardware.
In the role, you will design, fabricate, and characterize photonic integrated circuits containing magneto-optical elements, with a focus on demonstrating optical writing and reading of magnetic memory elements on chip and considering how the concept could scale to useful memory and computing applications.

What's required
Applicants must hold a PhD in Physics, Electrical Engineering, Materials Science, or a similar field. A strong background in photonics, nano-magnetism and/or semiconductor devices is required, together with experience in device and material design, cleanroom fabrication, and characterization. Candidates should demonstrate high-quality academic research outputs, be able to work in a dynamic interdisciplinary team, and be willing to coach PhD and Master's students. Fluent spoken and written English at C1 level is required.
