Deadline for submission of applications is October 15th 2015
This position (75% of regular work time) is available within the framework of a DFG (German Research Foundation) funded project on the „Stability of misfit dislocations in axial-heteroepitaxial nanopillar structures“ and is initially limited to 3 years with the possibility of an extension.
Your duties and responsibilities:
The successful candidate is expected to contribute substantially to the experimental part of the above mentioned project. It is planned to fabricate nanopillar-patterned semiconductor (GaAs) templates by applying self-assembly methods such as nanosphere lithography combined with reactive ion etching. For the heteroepitaxy we will use molecular beam epitaxy in collaboration with a partner at the University of Paderborn. The morphological and structural characterization will be based mainly on electron microscopy (SEM and TEM/STEM), where state-of-the-art imaging as well as analytic TEM/STEM techniques are deployed for the determination of defect configurations and real structure of the heteroepitaxial nanopillars. New TEMs will be available by 2016.
Your profile:
- Diploma/Master degree in physics or materials science
- Practical experience in at least two of the fields: nanopatterning, electron microscopy, structural and morphological characterization of solids
- Independent scientific working
- Willingness to learn and to apply new methods
- Collaborative way of working
- Good English language skills
