About this position
This research contract at Politecnico di Milano is based in the Department of Physics and is part of the MIDSENSE project. The project focuses on developing and experimentally validating a fully integrated mid-infrared sensing platform built with silicon-compatible photonic technologies.
The selected researcher will contribute to the design and development of Ge/SiGe quantum cascade detectors monolithically integrated into silicon photonic circuits. The work aims to enable compact, scalable, and low-noise molecular sensing systems operating in the mid-infrared fingerprint region, with a specific application focus on gas sensing.
The position sits within the scientific area of experimental physics of matter and applications, combining semiconductor device physics, integrated photonics, and detector development. The advertised programme indicates a research environment centered on the creation and validation of advanced photonic sensing hardware, with the contract tied to a funded project reference.
The call is for one research contract with a duration of two years, renewable once, and the advert specifies that the successful candidate will present a short project proposal aligned with the development and integration of the detector technology described above.
Funding details
Annual total cost to the institution up to €66,000.00, including the contractor's salary and an additional personal allowance; funded under TEF Postdoc Grant / Borsa TEF Postdoc.
What's required
Applicants must hold a PhD degree or an equivalent foreign qualification recognized for the purpose of the contract, or in relevant fields a medical specialization degree. Candidates in the final year of a PhD or medical specialization programme may apply if they will obtain the degree within six months from the publication date. The call requires English language competence; the oral interview also assesses English and/or other relevant languages. Applicants may submit up to 5 publications and a research proposal aligned with the advertised programme. Non-EU applicants must provide valid residence-permit or visa documentation as applicable.
