Job Summary

Description

If you aim at scientific excellence and want to establish a career as a scientist within fiber lasers and supercontinum sources and their high level applications within optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging then we have the ideal opportunity for you.

Come and be a part of the Table-Top Synchrotron project and one of the worlds strongest groups in this field in our quest to develop supercontinuum sources that outcompete synchrotrons from the deep-UV down to 33 nm to the mid-IR up to 15 µm.

To cover this enormous bandwidth you will participate in making 4 supercontinuum sources or beam lines based on gas-filled hollow-core fibers silica and soft-glass fibers such as fluoride and chalcogenide fibers that we make in-house. Specifically you will design develop and characterize low-noise supercontinuum sources using fs pump lasers implement them in OCT systems and perform a wide variety of OCT scans.

Responsibilities and qualifications
Your primary responsibility will be to make and use fs pump lasers to generate low-noise supercontinua and frequency combs perform advanced spectral and noise characterization and use them for particular you will be in charge of in-house development of Thulium fs lasers. You will also be a co-supervisor of postdocs and PhD students working on the project.

We therefore require you to have strong experimental qualifications within fiber optics fiber lasers and measurements of fiber loss dispersion and laser intensity noise as well as in supercontinuum based OCT. You must document a drive to build things yourself and finish projects with high-profile publications.

You must contribute to the teaching of courses. DTU employs two working languages: Danish and English. You are expected to be fluent in at least one of these languages and in time are expected to master both.

As formal qualification you must hold a PhD degree (or equivalent).

You will be assessed against the responsibilities and qualifications stated above and the following general criteria:

Research experience
Experience and quality of teaching
Research vision and potential
International impact and experience
Societal impact
Innovativeness including commercialization and collaboration with industry
Leadership collaboration and interdisciplinary skills
Communication skills

Salary and terms of employment
The appointment will be based on the collective agreement with the Danish Confederation of Professional Associations. The allowance will be agreed upon with the relevant union.

Starting date is 1 July 2026. Location: DTU Electro Campus Lyngby.

The position is part of DTUs Tenure Track program. Read more about the program and the recruitment processhere.
