Job Summary

This role at the University of Wuppertal offers a dynamic opportunity for a researcher to join the Chair of Large-Area Optoelectronics (LGOE) and the Wuppertal Center for Smart Materials & Systems (CM@S). Day-to-day, you will engage in interdisciplinary research covering the entire development cycle of photonic components—from simulation (utilizing AI methods) to manufacturing and characterization. Key responsibilities include designing experimental setups, automating measurement devices, and simulating photonic devices. You will also have the chance to gain teaching experience by supervising tutorials and internships. This position is ideal for candidates seeking a PhD, offering a collaborative environment where you can publish findings in international journals and present at global conferences. The role is attractive due to its integration into a high-tech research center, flexible working hours, and a strong focus on professional development within an international team.
