Postdoc position: the full-time position is available as from April 9th, 2018 or later for a period of approximately 5 years, B1 salary group. The minimum salary is 3.711,10 € per month (x 14 per year).

Requirements: PhD in Electrical Engineering and Information Technology, Physics or similar discipline. The focus of the position is on research into THz resonant-tunnelling diodes and development of THz oscillators on their basis. Investigation of other types of THz sources, detectors and systems could be also addressed at a later stage. Therefore deep knowledge in THz/microwave electronics or optoelectronics and extensive experience in micro- and nano-fabrication technology of III-V devices are required. Additionally, experience in THz measurement techniques and electromagnetic simulations are desirable. Knowledge of German is an advantage.

Applications will be accepted from 15th of March to 5th of April 2018 (date on the post stamp).

The University is aiming to increase the share of women especially in the scientific and art disciplines and explicitly asks women to apply for the positions. The priority will be given to applications of women with the qualification equivalent to that of the best competitors, unless other reasons related to the personality of the competitors overweight.
