Jobs at Tyndall National Institute

Supports the PIXEurope Training Programme by developing and delivering digital learning activities, webinars, online resources, and training content. Manages LMS administration, training schedules, evaluations, reporting, learner analytics, quality assurance, and continuous improvement. Coordinates technical experts, project partners, and European stakeholders to translate research into accessible learning materials. Supports in-person events, project reporting, dissemination, and education activities while ensuring compliance with quality and safety standards.

Conducts research on microfabrication, process integration, and heterogeneous integration of integrated magnetic devices, including on-silicon inductors and transformers. Optimizes magnetic material deposition and device interconnection for packaging and assembly, performs wafer-level characterization, publishes research, generates intellectual property, presents findings, supports students, and prepares project reports. The role also involves quality, health and safety compliance and participation in professional development and outreach activities.

The Principal Scientist/Senior Researcher II will lead research in photonic-electronic integration, develop a research team, secure funding, and manage projects, while fostering collaboration and innovation in the field.

Conduct funded doctoral research on passive photonic integrated circuits and scalable control architectures for multi-wavelength optical I/O in AI datacentres. Responsibilities include PIC design, optical link and system modelling, WDM and fibre-coupling design, calibration and monitoring, prototype characterisation, automated measurement, and integration with electronic and photonic components. The student will develop tape-out-ready platforms, publish research, complete coursework, collaborate with academic and industry partners, and support outreach and education activities.

Lead and develop an internationally excellent research programme in microelectronic circuit design for photonic communications, secure funding, collaborate with Tyndall groups and industry, act as Principal Investigator in Rinn Semiconductors, supervise students, and contribute to teaching and departmental activities aligned with UCC Futures - Quantum & Photonics.

Lead materials development for III-N laser devices: design devices, grow samples using MOVPE, perform structural and opto-electronic characterisation (PL, C-V, Hall, XRD, AFM, SEM), support fabrication and PhD supervision, and contribute to team collaboration, outreach and quality/safety compliance.

Fully funded PhD to integrate a chip-on-tip FLIM/RGB+ imaging module for a single-use multimodal endoscope. Work includes hybrid integration of UV laser, LEDs, and 3D-stacked time-resolved SPAD array into a 3 mm package, PIC source research, and experimental validation on tissue phantoms and colorectal tissues toward clinical translation.

Provide remote and deskside IT support; migrate endpoints to Intune; log, diagnose and escalate tickets; manage IT projects; document processes; liaise with IT security for compliance; deliver user training and continuous improvement.

Conduct fabrication and characterization of magnetic thin films and integrated magnetics in a Si/MEMS cleanroom. Optimize deposition processes, run materials and device measurements, develop models and simulations, document process-structure-property relationships, generate IP, publish results, present at conferences, and collaborate with researchers and students to deliver project milestones.

Academic PhD researching multi-wavelength photonic engines for co-packaged optics in datacentres. Tasks include physics-driven modelling, design and simulation of photonic architectures, high-speed experimental characterisation, feedback/control algorithm implementation, and dissemination of results via publications and conferences. Participate in coursework, group activities, outreach, and comply with quality and safety standards.
