We have open positions available. See below for postdoc, PhD as well as for MSc projects. All the positions posted below are presently available without a due date for application submissions unless otherwise stated.
The Laboratory of Photonics and Quantum Measurements has continuously open positions for a post-doctoral scientist. Highly motivated candidates, who are interested to continue on an academic path, are encouraged to apply to join our internationally diverse research group to carry out research on cavity quantum opto- and electromechanics or microresonator frequency combs. The lab is engaged in projects which are both extensively experimental, but also contain a strong theoretical component and collaborate closely with external theory groups (in particular on quantum measurements and control). We therefore welcome both theoretical and experimental physicists or scientists as postdoctoral scholars. Postdoctoral scholars typically apply with the laboratory for a Marie Curie fellowship, either European or International, which fosters researchers who have already demonstrated scientific excellence in the early stages of their career. Applications for this fellowship are in September of each year. Furthermore, candidates with a background in AMO Physics or Cryogenics are particularly welcome to apply.
Our laboratory is continuously considering applications by prospective PhD students to work in one of the following areas:
- Quantum Optomechanics with nano-mechanical resonators
- Optomechanics with superconducting circuits
- Micro-resonator based frequency combs for metrology, atomic clocks or high speed communication as well as fundamental studies of nonlinear dissipative soliton physics.
Possible PhD candidates who wish to obtain diverse skill-sets combining advanced nano-fabrication, quantum and nonlinear optics and numerical simulations are encouraged to apply for these positions. A background in experimental physics is certainly helpful, but not necessarily required. Candidates from all countries and continents will be considered.
We carefully review applications of interested PhD students at any time of the year. For full consideration – please send your CV, transcripts and a short statement of motivation of how your research interests fit into the Laboratory of Photonics and Quantum Measurements.
Within the framework of the Horizon Europe Marie Skłodowska-Curie European Doctoral Network “MicroCombSys: Photonic-System Engineering with Microcombs”, two Ph.D. positions are available within the research group of Prof. Tobias J. Kippenberg (http://k-lab.epfl.ch) to work on next-generation microcomb technologies, with a view of advancing their capabilities towards technological applications on the one hand, and the understanding of novel fundamental nonlinear dynamics on the other.
We welcome any good student who likes to join a highly motivated team. Basic knowledge in (quantum/nonlinear) optics and micro-fabrication is a plus, but motivation to work in a team is more important. The possibility to receive a stipend to join LPQM is possible for students who are not from Switzerland.

For full consideration for internships include in one PDF, you CV, full transcript, a motivation letter. In addition include the duration of the internship and if it is self-funded or not. Strong preference will be given to internships longer than 3 months from top institutions worldwide. A paid research internships offered by the EPFL is also possible. This program aims for 3rd and 4th year BSc as well as MSc students.
Please, apply through this link.

In the Laboratory of Photonics and Quantum Measurements / LPQM, we perform research on frequency combs in microresonators and optical and microwave optomechanics. Potential TP IV projects range from theoretical work such as simulations to experimental work in microwave and optics laboratories. Usually the projects are performed in close collaboration with a senior laboratory member and can take the form of a standalone project or shadowing of a lab member, where the TP IV student is introduced to a broader range of the experimental research.
