The hired person will be part of the Nanoelectronics and Photonics group (NF). Important research topics in the group are photonic sensor technology, biomedical optics, nanomagnetism, oxide electronics, and semiconductor nanowires. Application areas include medicine, energy, environmental monitoring, microelectronics, computing, and IoT. We have close relations and well-established collaboration with photonics industry. Research and innovation in the group has resulted in a number of start-ups.

The successful candidate is an experimentalist strong in the fundamentals of photonics with documented ability to apply theoretical concepts and advanced analysis for experimental realizations related to the group’s current research activities. Areas of particular interest include, but are not limited to:

• integrated photonics
• novel photonic sensing concepts
• spectroscopy & image-based sensing
• optical fiber-based sensing
• biomedical optics

The hired person shall contribute to and expand the ongoing research in the NF group, particularly with research on photonic sensors and sensor concepts. The candidate is also expected to develop interdisciplinary collaboration outside the NF group.

The candidate is expected to contribute, as well as establish, externally funded research programs and contribute effectively to the Department's undergraduate and graduate teaching missions. Candidates with ambitions to apply for ERC grants are encouraged to apply.

IES has access to advanced micro- and nanofabrication at NTNU Nanolab. The Department hosts the Centre for Geophysical Forecasting (a center for research-based innovation) and the strategic research area Energy Efficient Computing Systems.

IES is also part of the strategic research initiative Enersense focusing on the nexus of energy efficiency, energy storage and sensor technologies

You will report to the Dicipline leader at the Department
