Optical Engineering

Lead experimental development in the Attochirality ERC project, commissioning circularly polarised attosecond sources, pulse-characterisation methods and spin-resolved electron detection. Coordinate reaction-microscope experiments on chiral electronic dynamics and mentor junior researchers. This full-time appointment is initially for one year and can be renewed up to five years. The preferred start is 1 October 2026 or by agreement. The employer currently accepts online applications and reviews them until filled. Submit a cover letter, CV with publications, a two-page research statement, degree documentation and three referee contacts.

Develop optical systems for biofabrication at ETH Zurich’s Institute for Biomechanics. The researcher will design and build optical and beam-shaping systems, study the interaction of structured light with photosensitive polymers, and collaborate with bioengineers, chemists and biologists on scaffolds for regenerative medicine. This full-time postdoctoral position is funded for 1.5 years. The current vacancy accepts online applications without a stated closing date; provide a CV, publication list and references.

RIKEN’s Center for Quantum Computing seeks technical staff for Takao Aoki’s Nanophotonic Cavity Quantum Electrodynamics Research Team. Work develops fiber-optic and nanophotonic devices and the associated quantum-optics and quantum-electronics technologies. The group builds interfaces between atomic and photonic qubits using optical cavities. Several positions are available in Wako. Applications remain open until filled; the official role page supplies the document-upload link and explains the required follow-up and reference letters.
