PhD project in electronic-photonic integration at DTU Electro, Technical University of Denmark, in Kgs. Lyngby. The project addresses the growing data-movement bottleneck in artificial-intelligence hardware by developing integrated photonic and CMOS chips for scalable information processing. You will work with thin-film lithium niobate photonic circuits, whose electro-optic properties enable fast, low-loss modulation of light. The research focuses on photonic crystal cavities, waveguide couplers...

About this position

At DTU Electro, the Quantum and Nanophotonics Section is recruiting a postdoctoral researcher for the program Symmetry-guided discovery of topological photonics. The project sits at the intersection of theoretical physics, mathematics, and computational science, with a strong focus on how symmetry can be used to uncover and classify new forms of photonic topology.

The successful candidate will work on theory and computation for topological photonics, helping develop concepts, computational tools, and theoretical frameworks that deepen understanding of light-matter interactions. The advert highlights several possible directions, including topological photonic crystals and metamaterials, non-Hermitian and time-dependent photonic systems, space-time and magnetic symmetries, topology in disordered or non-crystalline environments, and new computational methods for exploring photonic topology.

The position is part of a collaborative research environment at DTU Electro, a large department with broad expertise in electrical and photonics engineering. The postdoc will be supervised by Assoc. Prof. Thomas Christensen and is expected to interact with his peer network in the US, Europe, and Asia. The research setting is international and intellectually active, with opportunities to contribute to both fundamental science and future photonic technologies.

The project is described as flexible, meaning the exact direction will be shaped by shared interests, expertise, and scientific aspirations. The advert also notes that work may support future experimental demonstrations through collaborations with leading researchers in Denmark and internationally.

Funding details

The appointment follows the collective agreement with the Danish Confederation of Professional Associations; salary supplements may be negotiated according to DTU’s salary structure for scientific staff. The position is for 2 years.

What's required

Applicants must hold a PhD degree or equivalent. Preferred backgrounds include theoretical or computational photonics, condensed matter physics, or a closely related field. Strong analytical and mathematical skills are desired, along with experience in symmetry analysis, group theory, topological band theory, or related methodologies. Programming experience and an interest in developing computational research tools are preferred. The post also values demonstrated ability to communicate scientific results through publications, presentations, or collaborative projects, and experience or interest in inverse design or topology optimization.
