PICs@ICFO Strategic Initiative: Post-doctoral Researcher in Integrated Photonic Switching

Institute of Photonic Sciences, Spain

Updated: 3 months ago
Deadline: ;

As part of the PICs@ICFO Strategic Initiative, ICFO coordinates PIXEurope, a flagship Pilot Line funded under the European Chips JU program focused on Advanced Photonic Integrated Circuits (PICs) through which ICFO is advancing frontier technologies, including optical interposers for Co-packaged optics for next-generation optoelectronic and photonic devices.

Position Overview:

We are seeking a highly motivated Postdoctoral Researcher with a strong background in integrated photonics to join our team, under the PIXEurope Pilot Line. The successful candidate will contribute to the development of advanced photonic integrated circuits (PICs) for optical switching and processing applications.

Key Responsibilities:

The selected candidate will be expected to:

  • Design, simulate, and optimize integrated photonic circuits for optical processing, routing, switching, and modulation functionalities.
  • Develop and experimentally validate photonic architectures based on phase control, amplitude modulation, optical switching, and quantum light shaping.
  • Design and characterize electro-optic and thermo-optic control schemes for programmable photonic integrated circuits.
  • Perform experimental testing and characterization of integrated photonic devices and systems, including automated measurement and control setups.
  • Contribute to the development of novel photonic solutions for applications in quantum technologies, optical communications, and information processing.
  • Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams and support the dissemination of research results through scientific publications, reports, and presentations.
  • Help coordinate demonstrator activities, particularly focusing on those related to optical switching and processing.

This position will report to the Prof. Dr. Valerio Pruneri, Director of the European Chips JU Pilot Line PIXEurope.

This contract has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon Europe under the Grant Agreement # 101213727, Chips Joint Undertaking (Chips JU) and the Spanish Ministry for Digital Transformation and Civil Service, and is supported by funds from the Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan (PRTR).
