Postdoctoral Positions in Quantum Sensing and Integrated Photonics

The research groups of Carlos Meriles (CCNY, https://merileslab.com/), Andrea Alù (CUNY ASRC http://www.alulab.org/), and Qiushi Guo (CUNY ASRC, https://www.guo-lab.net/) invite applications for several postdoctoral positions in experimental quantum sensing, integrated photonics, and radio-frequency technologies.

The positions are associated with a newly funded interdisciplinary research effort focused on the development of next-generation chip-scale quantum sensing platforms for electromagnetic field detection and computational imaging. The project combines quantum defects in solid-state materials, nanophotonics, microwave/radio-frequency control, advanced optical instrumentation, and scalable device integration, with long-term applications in biomedical and sensing technologies.

We seek highly motivated candidates with expertise in one or more of the following areas:

Quantum sensing and spin physics
Nanofabrication and cleanroom processing
Integrated photonics / nanophotonics
Lasers and optical systems
RF and microwave engineering
Electromagnetic simulations
Optical spectroscopy and experimental instrumentation
Computational imaging and inverse problems
AMO physics or quantum optics
Successful candidates will join a highly collaborative and interdisciplinary research environment spanning multiple laboratories across CCNY and the ASRC, with opportunities to contribute to both foundational science and emerging quantum and integrated photonic technologies.

Candidates should hold a PhD in physics, electrical engineering, applied physics, photonics, or related disciplines by the start date.

The anticipated start date is flexible, with preference for candidates able to begin by September 2026. Review of applications will begin immediately and continue until the positions are filled.

Applicants should send:

CV including publication list
Brief statement of research interests
Contact information for 2–3 references
Applications and inquiries should be directed to:
