The Optical Nanomaterial Laboratory in the Physics Department at ETH Zurich is looking for a doctoral researcher in mid-infrared integrated photonics and optical sensing.
- Doctoral Position in Mid-Infrared Integrated Photonics and Optical Sensing
- 100%, Zurich, fixed-term print Drucken
Application process
- Mid-infrared (MIR) photonics enables highly sensitive and selective spectroscopic detection of molecular species and has applications in environmental monitoring, biomedical diagnostics, industrial process control, and fundamental research. Project background
- The project will focus on the development of integrated MIR photonic devices for advanced optical sensing and spectroscopy.
- The successful candidate will work at the interface of integrated photonics, nonlinear optics, and MIR spectroscopy, contributing to the design, simulation, fabrication, and experimental characterization of photonic devices. Job description
- This doctoral project provides training across the complete development cycle of MIR integrated photonic devices
- The doctoral student will develop numerical models, design photonic layouts and contribute to micro- and nanofabrication processes in the cleanroom, and perform optical and electrical measurements to evaluate device performance
- The work will also involve MIR optical characterization, spectroscopy experiments, and data analysis Profile
- The successful candidate should be highly motivated, curious, rigorous, and creative, with an interest in addressing technically demanding experimental challenges
- Applicants should hold, or be close to obtaining, a Master’s degree in physics, electrical engineering, photonics, materials science, or a related field

Questions about this listing
What salary does ETH Zürich offer for this role?
ETH Zürich lists CHF 73'500 - 111'500 gross per year for this position in Zurich. This is the salary published in the original listing (or, when the employer omits a figure, a realistic estimate for the role and sector) — the calculator on this site converts it to your actual net take-home once cross-border tax and social contributions are applied.
Is this a full-time role, and what type of contract does ETH Zürich offer?
This listing is a fixed-term contract position. The contract type shown here comes directly from the employer's original posting; always confirm exact hours, notice period and probation length with ETH Zürich during the application process, since these details can vary by role even within the same contract category.
Do I need a cross-border work permit for a role in Zürich?
EU/EFTA residents living in the border zone of the country adjoining Canton Zürich can apply for a G permit; the Swiss employer files it with that canton's migration office after the contract is signed. Border-zone rules and processing times vary by neighbouring country and canton, so confirm the specifics with Zürich's cantonal migration office or with HR during the application.
