About this position
Technische Universiteit Eindhoven (TU/e) is advertising postdoc openings in integrated photonics for quantum technology, with research themes spanning photonic integrated circuits (PICs), single-photon avalanche diodes (SPADs), inverse design, and photonic quantum computing.
One vacancy focuses on the development of integrated single-photon avalanche diode arrays for quantum computing. The work includes epitaxial stack design, device design, fabrication, and characterization in the Nanolab@TU/e cleanroom, plus integration onto low-loss silicon nitride PICs. The project is part of a consortium led by QuiX Quantum under the Dutch PhotonDelta National Growth Fund.
A second vacancy focuses on tolerance-aware inverse-design procedures for improved chip quality. This project aims to create robust, manufacturable photonic components such as beam splitters, couplers, and interferometric structures, accounting for fabrication variability and wafer-scale constraints. The work combines computational photonic design, manufacturability optimization, and validation with consortium/foundry partners.
Eligibility highlights include a PhD in Physics, Applied Physics, Electrical Engineering, or a related field, strong background in integrated photonics and semiconductor devices, numerical modelling skills, and experimental experience in cleanroom microfabrication and chip characterization being advantageous. Strong writing, documentation, analytical, and communication skills are expected.
Funding and conditions: these are full-time postdoc positions at TU/e with salaries in Dutch university scale 10 and standard benefits. The SPAD postdoc is listed for 3 years, while the inverse-design postdoc is listed for 2 years. The vacancies are open until filled, and the TU/e vacancy pages indicate an application deadline of 2026-06-21 for both roles.
How to apply: submit the application online via the TU/e vacancy portal, including a cover letter, CV with publications, and contact details for three references. Email and postal applications are not processed.

What's required
Applicants must hold a PhD degree in Physics, Applied Physics, Electrical Engineering, or a similar field. Strong background in integrated photonics, semiconductor devices and physics is required, preferably with experience in avalanche diodes and other high-performance semiconductor devices. Good knowledge of numerical modelling and optical/electrical/thermal component design is expected. Experimental experience, especially cleanroom microfabrication and chip characterization, is an advantage. Candidates should be able to work with experts from diverse scientific and technology backgrounds, have strong writing and documentation skills, excellent analytical and communication abilities, and be able to organize their work independently toward project goals.
