Gothenburg, Västra Götaland, Sweden Chalmers Full time

**About the Position**

We are seeking a highly motivated and accomplished researcher to join our team as an Assistant Professor in Integrated Photonics.

The Department of Microtechnology and Nanoscience hosts a unique environment for research and education in photonics, microwave engineering, quantum technologies, nanofabrication, and ICT. Our research is supported by an in-house world-class infrastructure for clean-room processing (the Nanofabrication Laboratory).

The Photonics laboratory at MC2 is a dynamic and creative group with about 30 members working in an international and collaborative atmosphere. We perform both curiosity-driven and applied research in the areas of optoelectronics, silicon photonics, and fiber-optic systems. We enjoy a state-of-the-art laboratory for fiber-optic communications and have access to in-house cleanroom facilities to manufacture photonic devices engineered at the nanoscale. Part of our recent research efforts focus on chip-scale frequency combs, silicon nitride photonics, and next-generation optical communication systems featuring ultra-fast data rates (>1 Pb/s).

We are now seeking outstanding candidates for a tenure-track Assistant Professor position who will pursue a strong and internationally leading research programme related to integrated photonics technologies. We particularly welcome applications from junior researchers that will bring complementary expertise.

You will contribute by:

  • Actively developing a distinct line of research through independent projects.
  • Contributing to education at all levels.
  • Supervising masters and doctoral students.
  • Raising external research funds.
  • Participating in joint departmental and university-wide undertakings.
  • Leading dissemination activities in integrated photonics.
  • Participating in national and international collaborations.

To qualify for the position, you have a doctoral degree in a relevant field not older than 7 years prior to the application deadline. Exceptions can be made for longer periods resulting from parental leave, sick leave, or military service.
