• Strong academic record with interests in nanofabrication, epitaxy, laser physics, integrated photonics, condensed matter physics, and nanoscopy.
• A two-year master's degree (120 ECTS points) or equivalent academic level.

Responsibilities

• Conduct research on semiconductor growth in narrow three-dimensional dielectric templates.
• Study low-dimensional gain materials and tailored doping strategies for nanophotonic devices.
• Collaborate with a diverse team of researchers in an interdisciplinary environment.

Skills

• Strong background in physics or engineering.
• Experience or interest in nanofabrication and semiconductor technology.

Education

• Candidates must hold a relevant master’s degree.

Tools

• Access to state-of-the-art optical laboratories and cleanroom facilities.
