Research Associate / PhD Student (Physics/Materials Science) | Physiker (m/w/d)
Technische Universität Dresden
Job Summary
This role, situated within the Cluster of Excellence “Responsible Electronics in the Climate Change Era (REC²)” at TUD Dresden University of Technology, focuses on cutting-edge research in sustainable electronics. The successful candidate will primarily develop magnetron sputter epitaxy (MSE) as a core technology for producing group III-nitride semiconductors, specifically focusing on strain management, buffer structure development, and AlGaN growth for heterostructures used in power electronics. This is a full-time, three-year position (with a possible one-year extension) offering the opportunity to pursue a PhD. The role requires collaboration with diverse scientific teams, including those in sustainability and social sciences, promoting an interdisciplinary approach to responsible electronics. Ideal candidates possess a Master's degree in Physics or Material Science, an independent work attitude, and fluency in English.
