Postdoc in Photonic Semiconductor Nanostructures

KTH - Royal Institute of Technology

Stockholm, Sweden

Job description

The focus is on the fabrication of dielectric metamaterials for advanced light manipulation functions such as spectrally controlled reflectivity and transmission, down conversion, light trapping and light extraction, nonlinear effects, and solar cells. The work involves electromagnetic modeling of metamaterials, nanofabrication in a cleanroom environment, optical characterization, construction/modification of optical characterization tools, and test stations for fabricated devices. In addition to the research, the applicant is expected to participate in the supervision of master's and PhD students.
