Research Assistent (EG 13 TV-H) - Computational Electronics and Photonics

Part-time with 75,00 percent of the regular working time of a full-time employee. This is a fixed term-position of 2 years with the possibility of extending the contract for a further two years (position for academic qualfication corresponding to § 65 HHG i. V. m. § 2 Abs. 1 Satz 1 WissZeitVG; opportunity for PhD project).

Tasks:

• we are looking for motivated researchers in the field of quantum information processing. Within the project SMoLBits (scalable molecular quantum bits) we develop integrated platforms for quantum computing and communication within an interdisciplinary team of physicists, chemists and electrical engineers.
• the successful candidate will design a photonic platform for single photon quantum processing. This includes the electromagnetic simulation of cavities, waveguides, and couplers in a photonic crystal architecture. As model, a finite element method will be adapted and extended to capture the relevant mechanisms. Based on the model results, semiconductor based chips will be implemented in close collaboration with the project partners. The partners will provide the technology and the characterization, and we will evaluate the data by simulation studies.
• we offer an attractive position with the possibility to attend international conferences, publish in scientific journals, and participate in project management and teaching activities. Our research partners in industry and academia enable the candidate to build an extensive network, and we have access to latest technologies and devices.

Requirements:

• Master or Diploma in physics, mathematics or electrical engineering.
• Knowledge in electromagnetic theory, quantum physics, numerical modeling, and software development.
• The position qualifies for obtaining a PhD.

Advantages:

• Knowledge in electromagnetic theory, semiconductors, numerical modeling, and software development.
