Eine renommierte Universität in Deutschland sucht einen Doktoranden (m/w/d) für die Untersuchung von CVD- und CS-PVT-Prozessen in photonischen Anwendungen von Siliziumkarbid. Die Position bietet die Möglichkeit zur aktiven Teilnahme am internationalen EU-Projekt SiCPiC und erfordert einen exzellenten Masterabschluss in einem relevanten Bereich. Bewerber müssen EU-Bürger oder Angehörige spezifischer Nationen sein. Die Stelle ist auf 3 Jahre begrenzt mit einem attraktiven Gehalt nach TV-L E13.
Your Workplace
The semiconductor material silicon carbide (SiC) has established itself as the standard semiconductor material in power electronics. New applications in photonics are also emerging that take advantage of the extraordinary physical properties of SiC. In the EU project SiCPiC the so-called CVD (Chemical Vapor Deposition) and CS-PVT (Close-Space Physical-Vapor-Transport) processes are investigated with regard to their use in new photonic applications of SiC. https://electro.dtu.dk/newsarchive/2025/08/doctoral-network-harnesses-silicon-carbide-to-power-a-new-era-of-photonic-chips
In the EU project SiCPiC the so-called CVD (Chemical Vapor Deposition) and CS-PVT (Close-Space Physical-Vapor-Transport) processes are investigated with regard to their use in new photonic applications of SiC. The tasks of the three doctoral candidate (DC3,5,6) positions at the Crystal Growth Lab at FAU CGL include SiC layer fabrication, surface preparation and electrical-optical characterisation. ML and AI assisted methods support the experiment planning and analysis. Each of the three doctoral candidate positions focus on one of the three tasks: DC6 focusses on Metrology on a wafer level (electrical/optical characterization). It is expected that all three doctoral candidates collaborate together beyond their own research focus.
The doctoral positions offer the opportunity to participate in the international EU project SiCPiC. In cooperation with partners in Europe, short stays abroad for specialist meetings and research activities are mandatory.
Required qualifications: Excellent master's degree in materials science, nanotechnology, electrical engineering, physics, or a comparable field / Good written and spoken English skills / Ability to work independently and as part of an interdisciplinary team / Positive attitude, enjoyment of research, and finding new solutions.
Due to restrictive legal requirements for technology export control, project staff must be citizens of the European Union, Switzerland, Norway, Island, Japan or the USA/Canada/Australia/New Zeeland.
Desirable qualifications: Previous knowledge in the field of materials synthesis and/or characterization of semiconductors is an advantage.
Job position: The TVL E13 position (75%) (project duration = 3 years/36 months) is initially limited to 15 months.
For all job postings, the following applies: Friedrich-Alexander-Universität promotes equal professional opportunities for women. Women are therefore expressly encouraged to apply.
Severely disabled persons as defined by the German Severely Disabled Persons Act will be given preferential consideration if they have the same professional qualifications and personal aptitude and if the advertised position is suitable for severely disabled persons. Details can be found in the respective job posting under “Remarks.”
At the applicant’s request, the Equal Opportunities Officer may be included in the job interview without any disadvantage to the applicant.
All advertised positions are generally suitable for part-time work unless stated otherwise in the job posting.
