Join our dynamic Photonics Laboratory at Chalmers, where you will work on cutting-edge silicon photonics, optoelectronics, and fiber optic systems. You will have the opportunity to develop innovative solutions and collaborate with international experts in state-of-the-art facilities. This is a chance to shape the future of photonics while contributing to sustainability through the prestigious Wallenberg Initiative Materials Science for Sustainability (WISE).

Information about the division and the department
The Photonics Laboratory at the Department of Microtechnology and Nanoscience (MC2) is a dynamic, international group of around 30 members. We conduct both fundamental and applied research in silicon photonics, optoelectronics, nonlinear optics, and fiber optic systems. Our lab features cutting-edge facilities for photonic integration, including in-house cleanroom access for device fabrication.

Silicon photonics leverages investments in CMOS technology to create photonic integrated circuits, playing a key role in scientific advances, from quantum simulation to datacenter interconnects. Our group has pioneered ultralow-loss silicon nitride waveguides, enabling advanced nanophotonic components. This project explores new low-temperature techniques for ultra-low-loss waveguides and high-performance lasers using microtransfer printing.

This recruitment is part of the Wallenberg Initiative Materials Science for Sustainability (WISE), Sweden’s largest-ever materials science investment. Recruited researchers will join the WISE Research School, a national program offering seminars, courses, and international networking opportunities. Read more here.
