45,000 students and 8,000 employees in teaching, research and administration, all working together to shape perspectives for the future – that is the University of Münster. Embedded in the vibrant atmosphere of Münster with its high standard of living, the University’s diverse research profile and attractive study programmes draw students and researchers throughout Germany and from around the world.
The Department for Quantum Technology in the Faculty of Physics at the University of Münster, Germany,is seeking to fill the position of a
Doctoral Research Associate
Wissenschaftliche/r Mitarbeiter/in
(salary level TV-L E 13)
at the earliest possible date. We are offering a fixed-term part-time position (75% FTE) for 3 years. Full-time employees are required to teach 4 hours per week during the semester.
Your tasks:
- This position is tied to working towards a doctorate.
- Participation in research activities of Prof C. Schuck’s group, including the planning and execution of independent scientific projects in the area of nanophotonics.
- Strong contributions to collaborative research projects with national and international partnersin academia and industry.
- Electromagnetic simulations and computer-aided nanophotonic design, using state-of-the-arthigh performance computing resources and software tools.
- The fabrication and characterization of samples in chemical and physical processes. Work in aclean room environment.
- Construction and maintenance of laboratory setups. Work with lasers, electrical instruments,high-vacuum equipment and cryogenic environments.
Our expectations:
- A graduate degree (i.e. a German Diplom or Master’s degree or equivalent) in physics, electrical engineering or a closely related field of study is required.
- Experience in experimental physics, nano- and quantum technology, computational science and a strong mathematical background are indispensable.
- Further, advanced knowledge in numerical simulation and machine learning techniques, as well as literacy in common high-level programming languages, preferably Python, is mandatory.
- Willingness to work in clean room environments is a prerequisite and familiarity with advanced nanofabrication methods, such as electron beam lithography and reactive ion etching, as well as characterization of nanophotonic devices, e.g. using scanning electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy, is strongly desired.
- You should be team-oriented, have good communication skills, organisational skills and the ability to work independently. German language skills are not a requirement, but a willingness to learn is desirable.
