Scientific Researcher / PostDoc (f/m/d, )

at  Universitt DuisburgEssen

Your tasks will include the active participation in a growing team focussing on research into new integrated photonic components and circuits for applications in e.g. (bio- or quantum) sensor technology and in the context of artificial intelligence. One of your core tasks is the development of passive and active integrated optical components, e.g. by integrating new materials into the Silicon Photonics technology platform. The design is carried out taking into account available technology modules and in close coordination with the process engineers at Fraunhofer IMS. To this end, you create simulations for integrated silicon (nitride) photonics and develop layouts for the fabrication of the components. The characterisation and optimisation of the manufactured components takes place in our laboratories. In this role, you will have the opportunity to play a key role in the further development of the team, doctoral candidates and students.
In addition, you will support the preparation and realisation of courses, contribute to the preparation of research proposals and, together with your team, take on tasks for the chair.
