About this position
Technische Universität Berlin is seeking a Research Associate (PostDoc) in the Faculty IV Institute of High-Frequency and Semiconductor System Technologies, within the Radio-Frequency Technologies–Photonics area.
The researcher will contribute to the DFG Cluster of Excellence Responsible Electronics in the Climate Change Era (REC²). The project addresses RF-photonics and plasmonics, with work that may include electromagnetic simulations, device and system design, and experimental measurements. The research aims to support responsible and climate-conscious electronic technologies through advanced photonic and high-frequency approaches.
The role offers the opportunity to work across several related research directions, including photonic integrated circuits, microwave engineering, RF-photonics measurement methods, and plasmonic structures. Depending on expertise and project needs, activities may involve photonic layout and design, microwave circuit development, numerical modelling, on-chip photonics measurements, microwave measurement setups, or the design and testing of plasmonic devices.
The postdoctoral researcher will collaborate within the REC² cluster and the chair’s group, while contributing to intellectual property and scientific publications. The position is part of an interdisciplinary research environment connecting electrical engineering, optics and photonics, physics, semiconductor technologies, and high-frequency systems.

Full-time employment is offered, with part-time employment potentially possible. The position is paid according to salary grade 13 TV-L Berliner Hochschulen. The contract runs until 31 December 2027.
What's required
Applicants must have a successfully completed university degree at Master’s, Diplom, or equivalent level and a PhD in electrical engineering, optics/photonics, physics, or a closely related subject area, with the PhD completed no later than the contract-signing date. Experience in electromagnetic simulation or numerical methods is required. Good knowledge of German and/or English is required, together with willingness to acquire missing language skills. Experience in photonic integrated circuits, microwave engineering, RF-photonics experimental work, or plasmonic structures is expected; experience in more than one area is advantageous. Motivation, independence, and teamwork ability are desirable. Applications should include a motivation letter, detailed CV with publication list, academic transcripts including individual marks, employment references or comparable documentation, and contact details for at least two academic referees.
How to apply
Send an application, preferably in English, quoting reference IV-415/26, by email to [email protected]. Include a one-page motivation letter, detailed CV with publication list, transcripts, employment references or equivalent documentation, and details of at least two academic referees.
