Postdoc Position 2019 in Ghent University, Belgium

Postdoc Position 2019 in Ghent University, Belgium

Ghent University, Belgium invites application for Postdoc Position- 2019 from eligible and interested candidates 

Designation/Position-Postdoc Position

About- Ghent University is a top 100 university and one of the major universities in Belgium. Our 11 faculties offer a wide range of courses and conduct in-depth research within a wide range of scientific domains.

Research/Job Area- Physics, Photonics, Applied Sciences

Location- Ghent University, Belgium

Eligibility/Qualification–

  • You are ambitious, talented and have a strong background in photonics.
  • You have recently obtained a PhD-degree or carried out substantial research, in the fields of integrated photonics and/or optomechanics.
  • You are passionate about science but also interested in investigating how to bring fundamental research closer to an application.
  • You possess good verbal and written English communication skills allowing you to effectively communicate with the project partners.

Job/Position Description- 

The HOT-project (http://hot-fetpro.eu) consists of 17 leading academic and industrial partners from across Europe, composed of 13 universities and 4 industrial partners. The collaboration is funded by the EU Horizon 2020 FET-Proactive programme for research and innovation. Its aim is to lay the foundation for a new generation of hybrid devices which exploit a nano- or micro-mechanical oscillator to couple and control the electrical, optical and microwave domains. These devices will enable capabilities such as low phase-noise microwave generation, radiofrequency-to-optical conversion and on-chip microwave and optical isolators. Target domains include medicine (MRI), security (radar and terahertz imaging), timing and navigation, and future quantum technology.

There is not only rich fundamental physics to be investigated in these systems – HOT seeks to generate non-classical states of mechanical systems, observe self-organization of multi-element systems and demonstrate molecular optomechanics – but also room for commercialization of these technologies.

To this end, the task of the UGent Photonics Research Group is to develop processes that allow to fabricate the devices in CMOS foundries and to demonstrate the technology can scale according to the demands of the consumer market.

In collaboration with other project partners, you will model and design novel hybrid opto-electro-mechanical structures. Following their fabrication in a CMOS-pilot line, you will be responsible for their characterization and evaluation. The work is carried out in the context of the EU-project HOT, coordinated by prof. T. Kippenberg (EPFL). You will participate in the project meetings and collaborate with other partners.
