Postdoc in Topological Photonics

The Nanophotonics section at DTU Electro is seeking a highly motivated postdoc to be a part of a new programme on ‘Symmetry-guided discovery of topological photonics’, led by Senior Researcher Thomas Christensen, who moved from MIT to DTU in early 2023.The programme aims to advance the frontiers of theoretical photonics, deepen our understanding of fundamental wave-phenomena, and investigate the applications of topology in photonics.

Qualifications
As a formal qualification, you must hold a PhD degree (or equivalent).

Special consideration will be given to candidates with:

• A background in theoretical photonics or condensed matter physics
• First-rate mathematical ability
• Experience in programming and contributions to open-source software
• Excellent communication skills, e.g., demonstrated by a track-record of high-impact publications
• Interest in the supervision and mentoring of student

PhD scholarship in Topological Photonics

The Nanophotonics section at DTU Electro is seeking an excellent and highly motivated PhD student to be a part of a new programme on ‘Symmetry-guided discovery of topological photonics’, led by Senior Researcher Thomas Christensen, who moved from MIT to DTU in early 2023. The project aims to advance the frontiers of theoretical photonics, deepen our understanding of fundamental wave-phenomena, and investigate the applications of topology in photonics.

Qualifications
You must have a two-year master's degree (120 ECTS points) or a similar degree with an academic level equivalent to a two-year master's degree.

The ideal candidate will have a background in one or more of the following areas: photonics, condensed matter physics, or quantum optics. Knowledge of and an interest in programming and open-source software is a substantial advantage. The candidate should have a passion for theoretical and computational physics and excellent mathematical skills. Only candidates with a top GPA or a proven track-record of relevant research will be considered for an interview.
