Do you have a strong interest in experimental condensed matter physics? If so, then you have a part to play as a PhD candidate, working in the dynamic international research infrastructure HFML-FELIX. We have six open PhD positions for candidates who wish to contribute to our groundbreaking research in high magnetic fields and intense free-electron laser radiation.
HFML-FELIX builds on a strong background in cutting-edge advanced spectroscopy using high magnetic fields, intense infrared/THz radiation and a combination thereof. As a PhD candidate, you will conduct research on one of the topics listed below. You will actively cooperate with other PhD candidates, postdoctoral researchers and staff of HFML-FELIX working on related topics, and you will be involved in collaborations with external users to carry out related experiments. You will work as a teaching assistant in the Radboud University's teaching programme with a teaching load of up to 10% of your working time.
Ultrafast phonon-driven magnetic switching - You will develop new ways to optically control the magnetic state of materials with the lowest possible energy dissipation and at the fastest possible speed, using infrared/THz radiation for excitation of coupled spin-lattice dynamics. The problems of ultrafast angular momentum transfer are at the heart of many phenomena, and a hot topic of modern magnetism.
Shining new light on next-generation solar technologies - You will investigate the optical properties of novel types of photovoltaic materials such as halide perovskites, organic singlet fission materials or 2D materials, focusing on the development of new fundamental concepts to improve the performance of next-generation solar cells.
THz electronics - You will use a recently developed setup to track THz-induced resistance changes in semiconductor nanostructures such as 2D InSb, graphene, TMDCs and oxide heterostructures. Combining high magnetic fields and THz radiation will allow you to access their field-dependent energy level structure and to explore their high-field electronic properties far into the THz regime.
Exploring anti-ferromagnetic quantum materials in and out of equilibrium - You will investigate the static and ultrafast response of cutting-edge anti-ferromagnetic materials exhibiting a wide range of fascinating phenomena, such as anomalous spin dynamics and transport, combining infrared/THz radiation with high magnetic fields. The aim is to investigate their topological behaviour, which positions them as highly promising candidates for revolutionary low-power microelectronic applications.

Team leader role for an optical ranging team focused on developing PIC based LiDARs.
What you will do
LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) technology has seen significant growth over the last years, mainly driven by the automotive industry. Size, weight, and cost are some of the major driving forces when exploring new LiDAR architectures. Photonic integrated circuits (PICs) open the possibility of densely packing most of the required LiDAR photonic building blocks on a single Si/SiN chip using CMOS-compatible foundry processes. Emerging solid-state systems are typically based on coherent detection techniques, such as FMCW (frequency-modulated continuous wave) and focus on reducing their dependency on mechanical scanning devices by using optical phased arrays (OPAs) for solid-state beamforming.
We are looking for someone to lead a small team working on optical ranging systems. The team is focused on the development of new solid-state LiDAR chips, covering both individual photonic components (such as OPAs, phase shifters and optical antennas) and fully integrated systems (including integrated laser sources and photodetectors). The candidate needs to make strong technical contribution to this work, but also have a passion for people and be able to guide the growth of team members and amplify their potential.
In this role, your main tasks will be:
- Make key contributions to the development and design of PIC based LiDAR
- Coach and follow-up team members, setting goals and encouraging growth
- Ensure the operational, and technical excellence of the team
- Help solve technical problems regarding design or characterization
- Manage the team resources to plan and staff ongoing and future projects
- Interact and align with the group and department, and project leadership
What we do for you
We offer you the opportunity to join one of the world’s premier research centers in nanotechnology at its headquarters in Leuven, Belgium. With your talent, passion and expertise, you’ll become part of a team that makes the impossible possible. Together, we shape the technology that will determine the society of tomorrow.
We are committed to being an inclusive employer and proud of our open, multicultural, and informal working environment with ample possibilities to take initiative and show responsibility. We commit to supporting and guiding you in this process; not only with words but also with tangible actions. Through imec.academy, 'our corporate university', we actively invest in your development to further your technical and personal growth.
We are aware that your valuable contribution makes imec a top player in its field. Your energy and commitment are therefore appreciated by means of a market appropriate salary with many fringe benefits.
Who you are
You have:
- a PhD in engineering, optics, physics or equivalent, or 5 years of directly relevant experience in a research/industrial environment
- Experience in leading and managing a technical team
- Good resource planning skills and project planning skills
- Experience with optical and photonic modeling and simulation approaches, and typical tools such as Lumerical FDTD
- Experience in the field of integrated photonics, and have insight into optical beamforming and ranging techniques
- Experience with measurement techniques and characterization of performance of optical components
- Good communication skills and good interpersonal skills
- Excellent reporting skills and can present technical and non-technical results and choices clearly and concisely
