DTU Tenure Track Assistant Professor in Photonic Nanotechnology – DTU…

DTU Tenure Track Assistant Professor in the Photonic Nanotechnology Group, DTU Electro, within the research field of nanoelectromechanical silicon photonics with particular emphasis on numerical modeling, design, and optical experiments.

Nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS) are emerging as a powerful platform in integrated photonics, photonic nanophysics, and beyond. Following strong progress and developments in the field, it is now realistic to scale up such devices and potentially solve outstanding challenges in chip-scale spectrometry, LiDAR, programmable photonics, integrated quantum photonics, and more.

Responsibilities and qualifications
You have an innovative mindset and will participate in a project team with several postdocs and PhD students, who will design, model, and fabricate integrated silicon photonic circuits employing nanoelectromechanics. Your overall responsibility will be to lead the activities on numerical modelling towards these goals but includes also significant responsibilities on the optical characterization. The activities will take place in close collaboration with the nanofabrication activities.

The assistant professor is thus expected to:

• Take responsibility for and lead the numerical design as well as parts of the optical characterization.
• Contribute to the development of new device concepts in areas such as programmable photonics.
• Work closely with the fabrication team in the Photonic Nanotechnology Group
• Collaborate with other research groups at DTU Electro and with international collaborators on various projects related to silicon photonic nanostructures.
• Contribute to the innovation activities in the Photonic Nanotechnology group through patents, obtaining funding for innovation projects, international collaborations, etc.
• Supervise MSc and PhD students.

Proof of successfully attracted external research and innovation funding will be an advantage. You must be responsible for the teaching of courses. DTU employs two working languages: Danish and English. You are expected to be fluent in at least one of these languages, and in time are expected to master both. DTU can provide Danish language courses.

As formal qualification you must hold a PhD degree (or equivalent).

You will be assessed against the responsibilities and qualifications stated above and the following general criteria:

• Experience and quality of teaching
• Research experience
• Research vision and potential
• International impact and experience
• Societal impact
• Innovativeness, including commercialization and collaboration with industry
• Leadership, collaboration, and interdisciplinary skills
• Communication skills

Salary and terms of employment
The appointment will be based on the collective agreement with the Danish Confederation of Professional Associations. The allowance will be agreed upon with the relevant union.

Starting date is 1 June 2023 (or according to mutual agreement). The position is a full-time position.

The position is part of DTU’s Tenure Track program. Read more about the program and the recruitment process here .
