Søren Stobbe

Technical University of Denmark (DTU) Electro is recruiting 4 postdoctoral researchers for a world-leading research group led by Prof. Søren Stobbe. The positions sit at the intersection of nanophotonics, nanomechanics, quantum optics, semiconductor physics, integrated photonics, photonic computing, and quantum information science . The four projects are: Project A in nanoelectromechanical photonics (nanofabrication and characterization), Project B in hypersonic nanomechanics (theory and characterization), Project C in analog photonic computing (characterization and theory), and Project D in photonic quantum computing (theory). The group emphasizes original research, collaboration, and high-impact publication, with work spanning theoretical modeling, numerical simulations, cleanroom nanofabrication, optical/electromechanical/quantum-optical characterization, and scientific computing. Eligibility highlights include a PhD or equivalent in physics, electrical engineering, photonics, applied physics, or a closely related field; a strong publication record; excellent English; and relevant hands-on or theoretical experience depending on the project. Useful skills include cleanroom nanofabrication, optical spectroscopy, cryogenic measurements, RF characterization, quantum optics, quantum information science, photonic integrated circuits, Python/Julia, MATLAB, COMSOL, and Lumerical. The appointment is a 2-year fixed-term postdoctoral position with salary and terms under the Danish collective agreement. This is an academic employment opportunity, not a scholarship. Applicants should indicate which project(s) A, B, C, and/or D they want to pursue and explain how their background aligns. Deadline: 2 June 2026, 23:59 Danish time. Apply online via the DTU/Nature Careers portal and submit all materials as one PDF: cover letter, CV, academic diplomas (MSc/PhD in English), and publication list.
