Assistant professor in semiconductor photonics

To expand and broaden our activities in semiconductor photonics, we are now looking for an assistant professor who will bring new ideas and create a new research direction by combining these ideas with our existing expertise and capabilities in the field of semiconductor nanostructures. You will be embedded into the strategic research area NanoLund – Sweden’s largest research environment for nanoscience and nanotechnology – which together with Lund Laser Centre are part of the Lund University profile area Light and Materials.

The assistant professor is a tenure track position and includes funding for a PhD student as well as access to dedicated optics labs. The position is located at the Division of Solid State Physics within the Department of Physics and is part of NanoLund (https://www.nano.lu.se), providing great opportunities for close collaborations with groups with internationally leading expertise in the synthesis, processing and characterization of III-V and III-nitride materials, as well as access to a full range of equipment for semiconductor nanofabrication at Lund Nano Lab.

The subject of the position concerns experimental semiconductor physics and should be interpreted broadly in the field of quantum mechanical interaction of light and charge carriers in semiconductor-based nanostructures. Examples of possible research topics include:

• Photonics based on (ultra-)wide bandgap semiconductors such as GaN, GaOx, and AlN, including UV LEDs and/or lasers.
• On-chip photonics based on III-V semiconductors on Si.
• Quantum technology applications, including single-photon sources as well as qubits or sensors based on defects or heterostructures in (ultra-)wide bandgap semiconductors.
• Broadly optoelectronics and photonics based on novel and hybrid materials.

Lund University and the city of Lund offer a highly international environment, family friendly employment conditions and an excellent standard of living in Northern Europe, close to the city of Copenhagen.

The position is part of a university-wide investment in international recruitments.
