The Faculty of Science, Department of Physics, offers the position of

Postdoc (f/m/d)

(Salary level 13 TV-L)

with 100 % of the regular working hours. This is a qualification position within the meaning of the Wissenschaftszeitvertragsgesetz (WissZeitVG), which serves to support the scientific qualification in the post-doctoral phase in the field of Quantumphotonics & Optoelectronics. The position is initially limited for a period of 2 years due to thirdparty funding with potential extension. Start date: between April and October 2025 (to be discussed). The setting period corresponds to the project period. Start date: between April and October 2025 (to be discussed).

The research group Quantumphotonics & Optoelectronics at UPB is now hiring new team members in a newly established laboratory. Research projects evolve around active control of quantum emitters, tunable light-matter interaction and integrated photonic devices (see: ). Paderborn University (UPB) has a strong research focus on integrated quantum systems, photonics, optoelectronics in experimental science and theory. A new institute building (PhoQs) is opening its doors this year adding a second state-of-the art cleanroom and new research laboratories to Paderborn鈥檚 infrastructure.

Field of activity:

• Quantum emitter spectroscopy, Optoelectronic measurements and characterization
• Conducting experiments based on fundamental theories (electrodynamics and quantum mechanics)
• Publishing in high-impact journals
• Mentoring PhD and M.Sc. Students, project supervision
• Presenting your research at international conferences. Collaboration in research and teaching
• Nanofabrication of structures and devices, supervising PhDs in nanofabrication
• Optical and optoelectronic simulations

Recruitment requirements:

• PhD in Physics, Electrical Engineering, Material Science, or Computer Science
• Track record of high-level research published in scientific journals and presented at international conferences
• Experience in experimental research with focus on nanophotonics, active metasurfaces and quantum optics. The ideal candidate worked on spectroscopy of quantum emitters (life time-, g(2)-, HOM measurements), active nanophotonics, quantum optics
• Fluent in English and/or German. Teamwork and communication skills
• Trained in experimental research, ability to set up experiments from scratch, simulations

We offer:

• Research in state-of-the art facilities, laboratories, cleanrooms, computer cluster
• Flexible working hours and the individual option of mobile working
