Job description

This exciting PhD opportunity is both experimental and computational. It entails a range of fundamental problems in optics. One of them is to determine a spatially-dependent refractive index distribution of an unknown sample, akin to a “tomogrophy” of the refractive index. This represents a crucial step towards freeform gradient-index optics. The latter offers novel optical design perspectives towards tailored refractive indices employing inverse design.

The PhD is embedded in the AWAVE project and offers a multidisciplinary approach interfacing with a large team both locally at TU Delft as well as Eindhoven University of Technology and University of Twente as well as industrial partners. Thus, a platform that represents a diverse and internationally attractive training ground.

Job requirements

• An MSc degree in physics, engineering or mathematics, ideally with connection to optics.
• Strong mathematics and physics background.
• Experimental skills, in particular related optics and, more specifically optical metrology desirable.
• Programming skills with e.g. MATLAB, Python, and/or C++ desirable.
• Interest in multidisciplinary research, optics and numerical modelling.
• A curious and an initiative-driven mindset for approaching problems from various angles.
• Sound knowledge of the English language, both oral and written proficiency.

Nice to have;

• Prior publishing or research experience.
• Dutch language skills.

Challenge. Change. Impact!

Faculty Mechanical Engineering

From chip to ship. From machine to human being. From idea to solution. Driven by a deep-rooted desire to understand our environment and discover its underlying mechanisms, research and education at the ME faculty focusses on fundamental understanding, design, production including application and product improvement, materials, processes and (mechanical) systems.

ME is a dynamic and innovative faculty with high-tech lab facilities and international reach. It’s a large faculty but also versatile, so we can often make unique connections by combining different disciplines. This is reflected in ME’s outstanding, state-of-the-art education, which trains students to become responsible and socially engaged engineers and scientists. We translate our knowledge and insights into solutions to societal issues, contributing to a sustainable society and to the development of prosperity and well-being. That is what unites us in pioneering research, inspiring education and (inter)national cooperation

Conditions of employment

Doctoral candidates will be offered a 4-year period of employment in principle, but in the form of 2 employment contracts. An initial 1,5 year contract with an official go/no go progress assessment within 15 months. Followed by an additional contract for the remaining 2,5 years assuming everything goes well and performance requirements are met.

Salary and benefits are in accordance with the Collective Labour Agreement for Dutch Universities, increasing from € 2872 per month in the first year to € 3670 in the fourth year. As a PhD candidate you will be enrolled in the TU Delft Graduate School. The TU Delft Graduate School provides an inspiring research environment with an excellent team of supervisors, academic staff and a mentor. The Doctoral Education Programme is aimed at developing your transferable, discipline-related and research skills.

The TU Delft offers a customisable compensation package, discounts on health insurance, and a monthly work costs contribution. Flexible work schedules can be arranged.

Will you need to relocate to the Netherlands for this job? TU Delft is committed to make your move as smooth as possible! The HR unit, Coming to Delft Service, offers information on their website to help you prepare your relocation. In addition, Coming to Delft Service organises events to help you settle in the Netherlands, and expand your (social) network in Delft. A Dual Career Programme is available, to support your accompanying partner with their job search in the Netherlands.
