Research Assistant (Ph.D. student or Postdoc)

Many of the currently discussed visions in the field of quantum technologies will only be able to reveal their full potential, once scaling is achieved. Integrated photonic systems are a key technology here, as they enable a compact optical interface for addressing individual optically active qubits with high integration density. In the collaborative project NEPOMUQ, we are researching novel optically nonlinear perovskites that can be integrated into silicon photonics, thus serving as the key to a variety of new applications in integrated photonics and quantum technologies.

• manufacturing and optimization of perovskite-based thin films for electro-optical modulators
• optical and electronic characterization of semiconductor devices
• equipment responsibilities for measurement and deposition technologies

• university degree (Master, Diploma) in Electrical Engineering, Physics, Chemistry, Materials Science, or related fields
• for Postdocs: an additional completed doctorate in Electrical Engineering, Physics, Chemistry, Materials Science, or related fields
• solid knowledge in the fields of semiconductor electronics and semiconductor technology
• experience in laboratory work
• experience with thin-film technology
• ideally, experience in the field of (nonlinear) optics and photonics (especially optical measurement technology)
• very good English skills (written and spoken), knowledge of German is of advantage

A possible doctoral thesis will be situated in the field of perovskite-based electro-optical modulators. The research for a thesis will be conducted at the Chair of Electronic Devices in the "Wuppertal Center for Smart Materials & Systems", an interdisciplinary research center at University of Wuppertal.

These are qualification positions in the sense of the Wissenschaftszeitvertragsgesetz (WissZeitVG), which serves to support a doctoral (Ph.D.) or which can be used to promote scientific or artistic qualification in the collaborative project „ NEPOMUQ “ (Postdoc). The position is temporary for the duration of the doctoral process, but initially up to 3 years. An extension for the completion of the doctorate or Habilitation is possible within the time limits of the WissZeitVG.
