About this position

PhD Scholarship opportunity at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU), Department of Electrical and Photonics Engineering (DTU Electro), for research on Generation of Optical Quantum States in Silicon Core Fibers.

This fully funded 3-year PhD project is supported by the Independent Research Fund Denmark and sits at the intersection of quantum optics, nonlinear optics, optical fiber technology, silicon core fibers, four-wave mixing, quantum photonics, and quantum metrology. The successful candidate will investigate photon-pair generation and entangled photon states in silicon core optical fibers, with applications in quantum sensing, quantum imaging, and quantum metrology.

The position is based in Kgs. Lyngby, Denmark, and the supervisor is Professor Karsten Rottwitt. The project is embedded in an active research environment specializing in fiber optics, nonlinear optics, and photonic devices, with opportunities to collaborate on related projects within the department.

Eligibility: Applicants should have a two-year Master's degree (120 ECTS) or equivalent in photonics, electrical engineering, applied physics, or a closely related field. A strong interest in experimental optics is required, and prior knowledge of quantum optics, nonlinear optics, and optical waveguide optics is advantageous. Applicants may apply before completing the Master's degree, provided it is obtained before the PhD start date.

Funding and benefits: The scholarship is fully funded for 3 years. The post also mentions a minimum 3-month international research stay with an internationally recognized collaborator, plus teaching and science communication experience during the PhD.

Deadline: 2 July 2026 at 23:59 Danish time.

How to apply: Use the DTU Career Site application link and submit the required materials before the deadline. Review the job posting carefully and ensure your academic background matches the listed eligibility criteria.
