Information about the division and the department
The Photonics Laboratory at the Department of Microtechnology and Nanoscience (MC2) is a dynamic, international group of around 30 members. We conduct both fundamental and applied research in silicon photonics, optoelectronics, nonlinear optics, and fiber optic systems. Our lab features cutting-edge facilities for photonic integration, including in-house cleanroom access for device fabrication.

Silicon photonics leverages investments in CMOS technology to create photonic integrated circuits, playing a key role in scientific advances, from quantum simulation to datacenter interconnects. Our group has pioneered ultralow-loss silicon nitride waveguides, enabling advanced nanophotonic components. This project explores new low-temperature techniques for ultra-low-loss waveguides and high-performance lasers using microtransfer printing.

This recruitment is part of the Wallenberg Initiative Materials Science for Sustainability (WISE), Sweden’s largest-ever materials science investment. Recruited researchers will join the WISE Research School, a national program offering seminars, courses, and international networking opportunities. Read more here.

Major responsibilities

  • Manufacturing and designing silicon photonic integrated circuits.
  • Opportunity to contribute and develop your own ideas.
  • Fabrication of devices in world-class nanofabrication facilities at Chalmers.
  • Collaborating with European partners.
  • Devote the majority of your time to your own research project.
  • Engage in 10% departmental work, primarily focused on teaching duties.
