Univers
ity Professor (all genders) Specialist field of Integrated Photonics TU Wien is Austria's largest inst
itution of research and higher education in the fields of technology and natural sciences. W
ith over 26,000 students and more than 4000 scientists, research, teaching, and learning dedicated to the advancement of science and technology have been conducted here for more than 200 years, guided by the motto "Technology for People". As a driver of innovation, TU Wien fosters close collaboration w
ith business and industry and contributes to the prosper
ity of society. At the Inst
itute of Photonics of the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology at TU Wien, the pos
ition of a Univers
ity Professor in the field of "Integrated Photonics" w
ith permanent (full-time) contractual employment is to be filled as of 1 October 2026. This is a professorship regulated by 98 of the 2002 Univers
ities Act (UG). The pos
ition as professor for Integrated Photonics has been allocated in TU Wien's development plan to the following TU Wien Focal Areas of Research: Quantum Technologies, Materials and Matter The task of the professorship for Integrated Photonics will be to combine novel concepts w
ith photonic technologies by striving to integrate all components (quantum em
itters, waveguides, detectors) on a single chip. In particular, the combination of modern light sources (quantum heterostructure em
itters, on-chip short-pulse lasers, frequency combs) w
ith integrated waveguides will be researched. The prospective professor's research area should focus on as many of the following areas as possible: Basic research in (quantum) optoelectronics: novel semiconductor lasers, nanophotonic devices Integrated waveguides, couplers, sw
itches, modulators. On-chip solutions, e.g., photon em
itters in dielectric waveguides Novel quantum heterostructure detectors Development of novel integrated optical systems Investigation of quantum optical phenomena in integrated optical circu
its Photonic computing, neural networks, all-optical data processing In add
ition to research, the responsibil
ities of a univers
ity professor at TU Wien also include teaching (in German and English) in bachelor's, master's, and PhD programs, as well as participation in the management of the inst
itute and the faculty. These responsibil
ities include compulsory and elective courses from the entire field of photonics, particularly for the master's programs "Microelectronics and Photonics," "Telecommunications," and "Quantum Science and Technology." The Inst
itute of Photonics at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology focuses on the generation and application of predominantly coherent electromagnetic radiation in the visible and immediately adjacent spectral ranges. A key focus is the technical development of novel photonic sources and their applications. Research activ
ities include new optical technologies as well as the development of modern integrated optical components and circu
its, which form the basis for developments in communications engineering, environmental technology, sensor technology, and biomedicine. Your profile: Completed doctoral or PhD studies in the relevant subject from a domestic or equivalent foreign univers
