ICFO is offering postdoctoral and research engineer positions to well-qualified, highly motivated, and dynamic young scientists who wish to enhance their scientific careers in a friendly and stimulating environment.
Designation : Post-doctoral Researcher / Research Engineer
Location : ICFO – The Institute of Photonic Sciences, Spain
Eligibility : Ph.D. in Physics, Electrical or Electronic Engineering, or related fields
Last Date to Apply : Until positions are filled
Eligibility / Qualification : Candidates must hold an internationally-recognized Ph.D.-equivalent degree (or evidence of its completion in the nearest future), preferably in Physics, Electrical or Electronic Engineering. The candidate should have a proven track record in :
* Nonlinear effects and entanglement generation
* Free space communication
* Signal processing (post-processing)
* Software interfaces
Job Description : The successful candidate will join the Optoelectronics group led by Prof. Dr. Valerio Pruneri. The group focuses on developing new advanced materials, devices, and systems for information and communication technologies, particularly displays, image sensors, and cybersecurity. The candidate will work on projects aimed at building the next generation of quantum cryptography, entanglement distribution systems, quantum imaging, and processing. The group has developed technology for continuous variable quantum key distribution and quantum random number generation, now commercialized by ICFO spin-offs Luxquanta and Quside. The next step is developing entanglement and decoy state-based systems for secure communication and quantum connections for ground and space segments, and quantum processing and imaging devices. The group is involved in several European projects and is funded by the European Union.
How to Apply :
* Submit a presentation letter with a declaration of interest
* The contact e-mail of two potential referees
Candidates will be assessed as they apply, and the call will remain open until the suitable candidate is identified.
