Job Summary

This position is a unique opportunity for an ambitious scientist to join the Cluster of Excellence “Responsible Electronics in the Climate Change Era (REC²)” at TUD Dresden University of Technology. The role, situated within the Chair of Organic Devices, focuses on cutting-edge scientific research aimed at developing sustainable electronics. Day-to-day tasks involve the fabrication of metal oxide and organic thin films using solution-processing methods, subsequent production of transistor device structures, and comprehensive characterization of resulting devices (morphologically and electrically using techniques like I-V and C-V). A key responsibility is developing innovative schemes for the reuse of device layers through delamination or triggered disassembly, requiring close collaboration with diverse scientists across the REC² Cluster, particularly on dissolvable field-effect transistors (DFETs). Candidates must hold an outstanding Master's degree in a relevant physical science field and possess prior experience in thin film electronic device fabrication. This role is ideal for those seeking to obtain a PhD qualification within a supportive, interdisciplinary, and state-of-the-art research environment.
