About this position

PhD opening at Lund University in Electrical Engineering focusing on wide bandgap and ultra-wide-bandgap semiconductor devices, especially III-nitride HEMTs for RF and power electronics.

The project is based in the Division of Electromagnetics and Nanoelectronics at the Department of Electrical and Information Technology, with close collaboration across researchers working on nitride-based devices, material growth, and characterization. The research topic includes fabrication and investigation of advanced transistors using AlGaN, AlScN, and AlN, along with device design, cleanroom fabrication, electrical characterization, and device modelling.

This doctoral position is connected to major initiatives including projects funded by the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation, C3NiT, and the Chips JU Wide-Bandgap Pilot Line. The environment is described as open and collaborative, with opportunities to work with doctoral students, senior researchers, and industrial partners.

Eligibility highlights: a relevant second-cycle degree or equivalent, strong background in semiconductor physics/technology, very good English, and the ability to work independently and collaboratively. Helpful experience includes cleanroom work, GaN devices, RF or high-voltage measurements, and semiconductor fabrication/modeling.

Funding/employment: this is a salaried doctoral student employment at full time. The standard doctoral duration is 4 years, with possible extension for teaching and departmental duties.

Application window: apply in English by 31 July 2026.

Funding details
