PhD in Nano-Photonics & Fibre Cavities for Quantum Tech

Academic Positions; Schweiz; Vor Ort; CHF 55.000 - 65.000; Vollzeit

Zusammenfassung

University of Basel Research Groups in Physics, Optics and Quantum mechanics are seeking a First Stage Researcher (R1) to contribute to photonic ultrafast systems, nano-photonics and quantum information projects in Basel, Windisch/Brugg, and related facilities.

The candidate will engage in designing and building ultrafast laser systems, micro-cavities and nano-fabrication, while collaborating across Basel and Northwestern Switzerland with cutting-edge quantum technologies.

Qualifikationen

• BS or MS in physics, photonics, engineering, or related field.
• Hands-on experience in an experimental laboratory setting.
• Experience with femtosecond lasers and/or quantum optics is a plus.
• Experience with scientific programming and data analysis (Python, MATLAB) is a plus.

Aufgaben

• Generate and characterize sub-micron size Bessel beams.
• Perform nano-machining trials of glass samples with a femtosecond pulsed laser and optimize laser parameters for the optimal mirror template.
• Design and build open micro-cavities with nano-machined fibres for quantum communications.
• Design and build a micro-cavity femtosecond laser for high data rate telecommunications.
