About this position

This postdoctoral project sits at the intersection of experimental atomic physics, precision optics, and quantum technology. The work is embedded in the University of Amsterdam’s Institute of Physics and the Strontium Quantum Gases Group, led by Prof. Dr. Florian Schreck, and is carried out together with the group’s spin-off OpticsFoundry B.V. and in collaboration with the Nonlinear Nanophotonics group at the University of Twente.

The project focuses on developing technology to robotically manufacture robust optical circuits for quantum applications and beyond. The postdoc will help extend the team’s manufacturing capabilities so that more versatile optical systems can be built, including lasers, cavities, frequency references, and related components for advanced quantum devices.

The role is highly hands-on and prototype driven. The successful candidate will design and build optical circuits with new elements, develop and refine robotic placement and alignment methods, and help integrate components into scalable production workflows. The work also involves building and benchmarking usable optical systems, iterating rapidly based on test results, and debugging and validating production processes.

The environment is described as fast paced and startup style, with close teamwork between researchers and the spin-off company. The postdoc is expected to work independently as an end-to-end problem solver while staying closely connected to the team, using experimental feedback to improve practical systems that can be transferred toward real-world use. The broader setting is the Faculty of Science at the University of Amsterdam, with the Institute of Physics and the Van der Waals-Zeeman Institute providing the research home for the Quantum Gases & Quantum Information cluster.

The project is connected to ultracold strontium research for quantum sensing, many-body physics, and quantum computing, and aims to push robust optical circuit technology toward practical deployment.
