• Work in the lively Quantum Materials cluster at the Institute of Physics (Io P) at Uv A, in collaboration with the Optoelectronic Materials and Photonics groups of Prof. Siebbeles and Prof. Kuipers at TU Delft;
• Use the synthesis and optical lab infrastructure at Io P to exfoliate and stamp TMDC layers to prepare defect-based single photon emitters and characterize the emission;
• Fabricate nanopatterned surfaces in the AMOLF Nano Lab Amsterdam;
• Participate in an exciting cross-disciplinary collaboration with the groups at TU Delft and industry to leverage your results and implement the developed emitters into photonic chips of the industrial partners;
• Take part in teaching activities of the group.

• A Master degree in Physics, Material Science (with emphasis on 2D semiconductors) or Photonics.

• Experience in the following fields: Single-photon emission and measurement, TMDCs, or Nanophotonic design.

• Work at the interface between (Quantum) Optics, Material Science, and Nanophotonics;
• Collaborate and adapt in an international team and possess excellent communication skills in oral and written English.

• 232 holiday hours per year (based on full-time) and extra holidays between Christmas and 1 January;
• multiple courses to follow from our Teaching and Learning Centre;
• a complete educational program for Ph D students;
• multiple courses on topics such as leadership for academic staff;
• multiple courses on topics such as time management, handling stress and an online learning platform with 100+ different courses;
