The Paul Scherrer Institute PSI is the largest research institute for natural and engineering sciences within Switzerland. We perform cutting-edge research in the fields of future technologies, energy and climate, health innovation and fundamentals of nature. By performing fundamental and applied research, we work on sustainable solutions for major challenges facing society, science and economy. PSI is committed to the training of future generations. Therefore, about one quarter of our staff are post-docs, post-graduates or apprentices. Altogether, PSI employs 2300 people.

In the Integrated Photonics and Nanoelectronics group we are looking to hire a post-doc with expertise in optical characterization. The chosen candidate should have strong hands-on experience in the build-up and operation of optical set-ups including automation. You will be supporting two projects, one focuses on specifically on photonic neuromorphic devices based on random lasing for machine learning applications where also device fabrication will be carried out in the PSI cleanroom, and you will also be supporting the optical characterization needs of the SNSF SUGAR project in the SWIR around 2um.

Postdoctoral Fellow for optical characterization and neuromorphic photonics

Your tasks

• Develop new optical set-ups specifically for localized illumination using a digital micromirror device (DMD), but more generally for optical characterization in the NIR to SWIR

• Develop detection capability around 2um wavelength for microlasers

• Acquisition of required optical active and passive components

• Fabricate photonic neuromorphic devices for random lasing networks in the cleanroom at PSI

• Be responsible for the characterization of the fabricated devices

• Implement automation and machine learning routines

• Supervise PhD Students working on the project

• Presentation of results at conferences and publication in relevant journals
