2. Mentorship: Collaborate closely with renowned experts in neuroimaging, photonics, and quantum optics. This is part of a Eurpean project and you get to regularly meet with partners in UK, Italy, Germany, and Spain. In addition you will receive personalized guidance to help you achieve your research goals.
3. Flexibility: Tailor your research projects to your interests. We believe in the power of individual creativity.

Have a PhD degree (or be close to graduation) in physics or engineering.

- Background in Quantum mechanics and solid-state physics (bandgap, electrons, phonons, etc.).

- Strong experimental skills.

- Good English proficiency.

- Excellent communication skills and genuine interest in team work.

 

Following experiences are not mandatory but will be considered as an advantage:

- Familiarity with superconductors (theoretical/experimental) particularly experience with SNSPDs.

- Experience with cryogenics.

- Familiarity with quantum optics/nano-photonics/integrated photonics.

- Nanofabrication experience; particularly litography experience with photonic devices and superconducting detectors.

Salary and benefits are in accordance with the Collective Labour Agreement for Dutch Universities. The TU Delft offers a customisable compensation package, a discount on health insurance and sport memberships, and a monthly work costs contribution. Flexible work schedules can be arranged.

For international applicants, TU Delft has the Coming to Delft Service.
