Doctoral student in physics with focus on photonics/nanotechnology

The PhD student will work on detectors made of type II superlattice semiconductor materials in the project “Megapixel superlattice detectors with optical metasurfaces” financially supported by the Swedish Foundation for Strategic Research (SSF).

The aim of the project is to develop the next generation megapixel imaging sensors exhibiting state-
of-the-art performance. This will be accomplished by developing novel resonator pixels and advanced
fabrication methods.
The tasks of the PhD student include:

• Modelling  of  type-II  infrared  detectors  with  optical  resonator  structures  using  in-house simulation tools, as well as commercial tools such as Comsol and Lumerical.
• Fabrication  of  infrared  detectors  with  resonator  structures  using  advanced  processing equipment in a top-class cleanroom environment.
• Structural,  electrical,  and  optical  characterization  of  imaging  sensor  arrays  using  e.g. electron microscopy, current-voltage/capacitance-voltage measurement techniques, and photocurrent/photoluminescence spectroscopy.
• Dissemination of research findings through publishing in leading international academic journals and high impact conferences.

This PhD position is part of an extensive collaboration between IRnova, Lund University and Halmstad University.
The PhD student will spend most of the time at IRnova in Stockholm, but also carry out advanced processing/characterization work at NanoLund and at Halmstad University.

Academic Supervisor: Professor Håkan Pettersson

Employer: IRnova in Stockholm

Application deadline: 15 January 2022

Four advantageous associate senior lectureships

The Faculty of Science wants to provide early-career researchers with an opportunity over a six-year period to develop a long-term research activity as well as qualify for promotion to senior lecturer. The faculty is therefore announcing vacancies for up to four positions as associate senior lecturer within the faculty’s subject areas. In order to support the formation of a research team, resources corresponding to at least one doctoral studentship and one two-year postdoc position will be linked to the appointment. One of the requirements for employment as an associate senior lecturer is that the candidate has been awarded a PhD or has corresponding research expertise. The application deadline is 15 February.
