The Quantum Optoelectronics Group at Philipps-Universität Marburg is recruiting a motivated PhD student to join an Emmy-Noether project focused on hybrid quantum optoelectronic devices based on excitons in van der Waals heterostructures. The research will explore quantum phenomena in 2D semiconductors and their application in next-generation optoelectronic devices. The position is part of the Marburg Center for Quantum Materials and Sustainable Technologies and is funded by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG). Applicants should have a strong background in physics, materials science, or a related field, with experience in quantum physics, optoelectronics, or semiconductor physics preferred. The funding covers a full PhD studentship with a competitive stipend and social benefits. The application deadline is 16 November 2025, and candidates can apply via the university's online portal in German or English. Informal inquiries can be directed to Nadine Leisgang at [email protected].

The Emmy-Noether group led by Assistant Professor Nadine Leisgang at Philipps-Universität Marburg is inviting applications for a postdoctoral position in the field of quantum optoelectronics, with a particular focus on 2D materials. The group investigates excitonic and correlated quantum phenomena in atomically-thin semiconductors, working at the intersection of 2D materials, van der Waals heterostructures, nanofabrication, and optoelectronics. Research activities combine advanced optical spectroscopy and electrical transport techniques to engineer and control quantum states in novel materials. The successful candidate will join a dynamic and collaborative research environment within the mar.quest | Marburg Centre for Quantum Materials and Sustainable Technologies. The group offers access to state-of-the-art nanofabrication and spectroscopy facilities and benefits from strong national and international collaborations. This opportunity is ideal for researchers with a strong background in condensed matter physics, nanoscience, or quantum materials, and who are interested in exploring the frontiers of quantum optoelectronics and 2D materials. Applicants are encouraged to reach out directly to Prof. Leisgang to discuss potential opportunities, including applications in the context of competitive fellowship programs. The position is particularly suited for candidates with expertise in 2D materials, van der Waals heterostructures, nanofabrication, optical spectroscopy, or electrical transport. While specific funding details are not provided, the group supports applications for external fellowships. For more information or to express interest, contact [email protected].
