The professor/associate professor will join the Nanoelectronics and Photonics (NF) Group at IES, which comprises 7 full-time and 3 adjunct professors/associate professors.

 Research activities include development of novel photonic sensors, nanoscale materials, and characterization techniques for biomedical and information technology applications. The group's research portfolio includes photonic (bio)sensors, biomedical optics (hyperspectral imaging, tissue optics, spectroscopy), metamaterials, oxide electronics, nanomagnetism, semiconductor nanowire devices, and MEMS-based device technology.

In addition to our own laboratories at IES, we have good access to well-equipped micro- and nanofabrication facilities at NTNU NanoLab (https://www.ntnu.edu/nano). The successful applicant will strengthen the group's research activities in photonic device technology.
