🎓 We have an exciting fully funded PhD opportunity within Rinn Semiconductors – Ireland’s Research Centre for Semiconductor Innovation, based at Tyndall National Institute and University College Cork.

📝 The project will focus on visible/UV laser technologies and photonic integration for next-generation endoscopy. The successful candidate will design photonic integrated circuits and pulsing schemes for fluorescence lifetime imaging (FLIM), working across:
🔹 UV/violet lasers operating at 375–400 nm
🔹 Pulsed laser architectures and mode-locking strategies
🔹 Photonic integrated circuits and heterogeneous integration
🔹 Simulation, fabrication and experimental validation
🔹 Translational photonics for advanced medical diagnostics

✨ This is a four-year PhD studentship offering full tuition fees and a €25,000 annual tax-free stipend. The student will have access to Tyndall’s world-class fabrication and characterisation facilities and collaborate with experts in photonics, biophotonics, heterogeneous integration, packaging and clinical research.

🚀 We welcome applications from highly motivated candidates with a background in photonics, optics, semiconductor physics, electronic engineering or a related discipline.
