Position Senior Scientist / Postdoc
Published 15 May 2025 EPFL, the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne, is one of the most dynamic university campuses in Europe and ranks among the top 20 universities worldwide. The EPFL employs more than 6,500 people supporting the three main missions of the institutions: education, research and innovation. The EPFL campus offers an exceptional working environment at the heart of a community of more than 18,500 people, including over 14,000 students and 4,000 researchers from more than 120 different countries.
The Galatea Lab is located in the vibrant Neuchâtel’s campus of EPFL, part of Microcity, a ecosystem with a focused on micro-technologies.
To strengthen our research program on optical systems integration, we are looking for a post-doc to investigate novel concepts for advanced free-space optical systems embedded in single glass substrates. The work involves freeform optomechanical principles and innovative laser-based processes applied to all-glass devices.
Only applications submitted through the online platform are considered.

Mission
Within the faculty of engineering (STI), the Galatea Laboratory explores novel paradigms to tailor material properties locally using lasers. Our research involves three main clusters: understanding and exploring laser-matter interaction phenomena, investigating new manufacturing processes based on 3D direct-write laser methods, and finally, exploring novel concepts of multi-scale systems based on single monolith. The lab features state-of-the-art laser facilities and infrastructure for pioneer research.The Galatea Lab is located in the vibrant Neuchâtel’s campus of EPFL, part of Microcity, a ecosystem with a focused on micro-technologies.
