About this position

The Hybrid Photonics Laboratory at EPFL is recruiting a postdoctoral scientist to help shape the future of integrated lithium niobate photonics. The project sits at the intersection of photonic device engineering, electro-optic transduction, and terahertz science, with applications in frequency conversion, metrology, spectroscopy, quantum technologies, and sensing.

The successful candidate will work in a young and ambitious laboratory environment and contribute to the development of first-of-their-kind hybrid platforms for ultra-sensitive, ultra-precise, and ultra-compact chips. The role is highly hands-on and combines experimental, fabrication, and conceptual research. Depending on interests and strengths, the postdoc may lead work on optical measurement setup design, high-frequency electronics, mechanical components, scalable hybrid photonic device fabrication, novel measurement and generation schemes, and precision-limited metrology concepts.

The position involves building and characterizing advanced integrated photonic devices on electro-optic platforms, including low-loss nanofabrication in the cleanroom. The postdoc will also help automate measurement routines, develop optical setups with custom software and hardware, and create novel hybrid optical-terahertz electronic nanostructures and integrated photonic circuits using simulation tools. The laboratory offers opportunities to learn about ultrafast fiber lasers, electro-optical transducers, and the technical bridge between microwave/millimeterwave/terahertz science and modern fabrication methods.

Beyond the core project, the postdoc is expected to contribute to grant applications, lead collaborations, supervise younger researchers and thesis work, publish papers, file patents, and present results at conferences. EPFL highlights strong research infrastructure through its cleanroom, the Lausanne center for ultrafast science, and the Quantum Science Center, together with a dynamic scientific community.

Funding details

Competitive salary; conference costs covered.

What's required

Applicants must have a strong interest in integrated photonics, high-frequency electronics, quantum metrology and/or electro-optic transduction, with prior experience in one or more of these areas desired. Strong nanofabrication skills are required, and experience with thin-film lithium niobate (TFLN) is desirable but not mandatory. Strong simulation skills in Python, Matlab, Labview, Inventor, Illustrator, Tidy 3D, CST Microwave Studio and Comsol are expected, together with analytical skills for modelling photonic systems and a hands-on attitude. The post is aimed at talented and ambitious postdoctoral scientists.

How to apply

Apply through the online platform only. Submit a brief cover letter, a CV with publication list in one PDF, a research statement, and contact details for three referees. An additional short statement about your motivation and interests is strongly indicated.
