• In-depth knowledge of solid-state physics and nanostructures' optical/electrical properties.
• Hands-on experience with sensitive optoelectrical measurement setups is a plus.
• Ability to teach in German and/or English is required; willingness to learn missing language skills.

Responsabilidades

• Conduct experiments in solid-state physics and nano optoelectronics, focusing on photoluminescence and transport spectroscopy of 1D nanowires.
• Apply Planck's law to study hot carriers in nanostructures.
• Use self-consistent Schrödinger-Poisson solvers to design heterostructures.
• Perform clean-room nanofabrication of epitaxial nanowires.
• Design and assemble optical and electrical measurement setups.
• Collaborate with experts in materials synthesis and characterization (MBE, SEM, XRD, TEM).
• Teach in lab sessions and exercises in experimental physics and nanotechnology.
