hela Sverige Visa alla jobb hos Chalmers Tekniska Högskola AB i Göteborg The Photonics laboratory at the Department of Microtechnology and Nanoscience, with about 35 members, is involved with research on optical communication systems, optical amplifiers, and optoelectronics. We have a state-of-the experimental facility for optical communication and excellent funding over the next several years. Our research is both experimental and numerical and we have extensive international collaboration. We also have access to a state-of-the-art clean room for fabrication of optical structures and devices as well as experience in commercializing our research.
In the area of communication we implement new modulation formats to achieve higher spectral efficiency in optical communication channels, thereby increasing capacity. Ultralow noise optical amplifiers are developed as they allow a further increase the transmission performance significantly. The more device-oriented research deals with lasers satisfying requirements for optical interconnects in terms of speed and power consumption. The work is coordinated in the Fibre Optical Communications Research Centre (FORCE).
Project description
This research project deals with optical interconnents operating up to 100 Gb/s in various applications such as supercomputers, automotive and radar applications. In many such applications, the required temperature range of operation is -40 to 125 C, which is partularly challenging. We are used concept such as signal pre-empasis and machine learning to improve the overall performance.
We are now seeking an innovative self-motivated person that will be able work independently as well as in larger teams. Fluency in English is a requirement. The person filling this position will be involved with both experimental and numerical/theoretical work.
Major responsibilities
The person filling this position will participate in research as outlined above and will be conducting mainly experimental work supported by numerical simulations. The appointments offer an opportunity to qualify for further research positions within academia or industry.
Qualifications
Applicant should have a Ph.D. degree preferably in Photonics, Engineering Physics, Electrical Engineering or similar. Strong experimental experience in any of the following areas is required; optical fiber communication, nonlinear optics, optoelectronics, signal processing, and/or device design and fabrication. The responsibility will also include assisting PhD students in their work. Excellent presentation skills, and fluency in English are required. Matlab and other simulation software experience is expected.
To qualify for the position of postdoc, you must hold a doctoral degree awarded no more than three years prior to the application deadline (according to the current agreement with the Swedish Agency for Government Employers).
You are expected to be somewhat accustomed to teaching, and to demonstrate good potential within research and education.
Contract terms
The position as a Post-doctoral fellow is a full-time temporary employment, limited to a maximum of three years.
