<p>Delft University of Technology is looking to hire 3 PhD students to work and study in the field of Optics, Photonics and Optical Design with a 4 year lasting contract.</p><h3><strong>Description</strong></h3><p>The research program &ldquo;Free-form Scattering Optics&rdquo; enables high-tech optical devices that contribute to energy efficacy, climate change, internet-of-things, food and water quality and quantity, and security, in the interest of rendering the unstoppable worldwide urbanization sustainable. Currently, high-tech industry is developing a surge of novel devices that combine light scattering with free-formed optics, such as LED lighting, miniaturized satellites, metrology equipment for semiconductor industry and optically secured bank cards.</p><p>Due to a lack of fundamental know-how on the combination of the technologies, the devices are being designed by educated guesses, which limits progress and applications. Free-form scattering optics will unite traditionally distinct technologies with a hierarchy of length scales ranging from the microscopic (nanometers) to the macroscopic (centimeters). The university develops insights, designs rules, and new architectures for free-form scattering optics that allow to create breakthroughs in several domains as described above simultaneously. The program directly taps into the strengths of high-tech industry, enhances the knowledge infrastructure, develops new networks of expertise, and educates a new generation of highly skilled professionals.</p><h3><strong>Requirements</strong></h3><ol><li>A MSc in physics or a related discipline with a strong background in optical physics;</li><li>Experience with Matlab/Python, Comsol or CST;</li><li>Creative, pro-active team player with good analytical skills;</li><li>Good communicative skills in English, both written and oral.</li></ol><h3><strong>Conditions of Employment</strong></h3><dl><dd><ol><li>TU Delft offers a customisable compensation package, a discount for health insurance and sports memberships, and a monthly work costs contribution. Flexible work schedules can be arranged. An International Children&rsquo;s Centre offers childcare and an international primary school. Dual Career Services offers support to accompanying partners. Salary and benefits are in accordance with the Collective Labour Agreement for Dutch Universities.</li><li>As a PhD candidate, you will be enrolled in the TU Delft Graduate School. TU Delft Graduate School provides an inspiring research environment; an excellent team of supervisors, academic staff and a mentor; and a Doctoral Education Programme aimed at developing your transferable, discipline-related and research skills.
