Job Description
We are seeking a highly motivated and talented Postdoctoral researcher to join
our team on oxide semiconductors. The successful candidate will work in the project
Oxide semiconductor material discovery by MBE in close collaboration with
semiconductor industry. You will perform the growth of novel high-quality
semiconducting oxides by molecular beam epitaxy and investigate their anisotropic
strain- and doping dependent key fundamental properties for thin-film transistor
applications (such as band gap charge carrier mobility and surface passivation).
Your research thus includes the basic structural electrical and electronic
characterization. This position offers an exciting opportunity to work at the
interface to semiconductor industry in a collaborative and innovative research environment.
- Design experiments aiming at determining materials limits working
closely with internal and external collaborators. - Perform the related growth and characterization experiments.
- Analyze and interpret data.
- Prepare regular reports on time for technical and review meetings.
- Write papers.
- Take part in regular internal and external meetings.
- PhD in solid state physics or a related subject (e.g. materials science).
- Experience with epitaxy materials characterization reporting and publication.
- Effective communication skills both written and verbal in English.
- Enthusiastic and self-motivated with a passion for working in a multi-disciplinary
environment on challenging problems. - Team-oriented with the ability to collaborate effectively both internally and externally.
- A can-do-attitude with a high degree of reliability.
This position is available from 01st of October 2025 and is limited to an initial
1-year period. Upon successful completion of this period the position will
be extended by another year.
Salary and benefits are according to the Treaty for German public service
(TVD Bund) to a level of E13 taking work experience and special professional skills into
account.
- Job security and a good work-life balance
- Modern office located in the heart of Berlin with excellent public transport
connections and a subsidized travel ticket - Supportive environment with experts for various scientific sub-fields
- International and culturally diverse community
- Mobile work
- Possibility to participate in professional development and/or exchange programs
The Paul Drude Institute is part of the Forschungsverbund Berlin e.V. and a member
