What are the responsibilities and job description for the Postdoctoral Positions in Quantum Sensing and Integrated Photonics position at Physics World?
The research groups of Carlos Meriles (CCNY, https://merileslab.com/), Andrea Alù (CUNY ASRC http://www.alulab.org/), and Qiushi Guo (CUNY ASRC, https://www.guo-lab.net/) invite applications for several postdoctoral positions in experimental quantum sensing, integrated photonics, and radio-frequency technologies.
The positions are associated with a newly funded interdisciplinary research effort focused on the development of next-generation chip-scale quantum sensing platforms for electromagnetic field detection and computational imaging. The project combines quantum defects in solid-state materials, nanophotonics, microwave/radio-frequency control, advanced optical instrumentation, and scalable device integration, with long-term applications in biomedical and sensing technologies.
We seek highly motivated candidates with expertise in one or more of the following areas:
Candidates should hold a PhD in physics, electrical engineering, applied physics, photonics, or related disciplines by the start date.
The anticipated start date is flexible, with preference for candidates able to begin by September 2026. Review of applications will begin immediately and continue until the positions are filled.
