We are inviting applications for postdoctoral fellowships in the QuaDRA – Quantum Devices for Research and Applications initiative, a multi-institutional research program funded by the São Paulo Research Foundation (FAPESP).
QuaDRA brings together leading groups in integrated photonics, quantum optics, nanofabrication, and quantum sensing to develop scalable quantum technologies based on silicon nitride, lithium niobate, and emerging 2D materials.
The project operates across two main research axes:
QPhoton – Integrated Quantum Photonics
Programmable photonic quantum processors, integrated sources of nonclassical light, and single-photon detectors.
QSense – Quantum Sensors
Quantum sensing platforms including optomechanical sensors, magnetometers, and hybrid microwave-to-optical quantum interfaces.
We are currently offering up postdoctoral positions in the following research areas:
• QPhoton-PD1: Quantum light sources in photonic chips and atomic systems
• QPhoton-PD2: Integrated nonlinear quantum light sources based on 2D materials and SiN photonics
• QPhoton-PD3: Advanced characterization and integration of 2D materials for quantum photonic sources
• QSense-PD4: Hybrid microwave-to-optical quantum transducers and quantum memories
These projects are carried out across UNICAMP, USP, UFABC, Mackenzie University, and CNPEM, with strong collaboration between institutions.
Fellowship benefits (FAPESP):
• Tax-free stipend: R$ 12,570 / month
• Research contingency funds (~R$15k/year)
• Relocation allowance
• Parental leave and social security reimbursement
Application deadline: April 30th, 2026
We are looking for researchers with strong backgrounds in areas such as:
• quantum optics
• integrated photonics
• nanofabrication
• nonlinear optics
• optomechanics
• quantum sensing
• 2D materials and nanophotonics
QuaDRA offers a highly collaborative and internationally connected research environment, with access to advanced nanofabrication, photonics, and cryogenic facilities.
