About this position

Technische Universität Braunschweig is offering up to five research associate positions in the Optical Quantum Metrology group at the Institute of Semiconductor Technology. The appointments focus on photonics and optomechanical systems for quantum technologies and precision sensing, with opportunities for doctoral research or postdoctoral scientific qualification.

Research may address optomechanical oscillators for laser-power stabilization in gravitational-wave detection; mechanical and optical spectroscopy of functional materials for gravitational-wave detection and precision sensing; integrated photonics for experiments with trapped atoms; or integrated photonics for biosensing.

The group develops novel photonic and optomechanical systems within the Institute of Semiconductor Technology, which has expertise in nitride processing and dedicated clean-room facilities through the Nitride Technology Center and Epitaxy Competence Center. The group is also part of the Laboratory for Emerging Nanometrology, the Cluster of Excellence QuantumFrontiers, and the Quantum Valley Lower Saxony. This environment provides access to micro- and nano-characterization facilities and collaboration across materials science, optics, quantum technologies, and precision metrology.

Research associates will conduct experimental or design-oriented research on one of the advertised topics, contribute to research projects and grant proposals, publish in peer-reviewed journals, present results at conferences, and participate in university teaching and student supervision.

Funding details

The positions are full-time or part-time depending on the position and are paid according to the TV-L collective agreement at salary grade EG 13. Benefits include a special annual payment, supplementary company pension, 30 days of annual vacation, flexible working options, and financial support for research stays abroad. The appointments are fixed-term for an initial period of three years.

What's required

Applicants must hold a Master's degree in physics, photonics, nanotechnology, electrical engineering, or a related field; postdoctoral applicants must hold a PhD. Applicants should have a very good command of English, experience in photonic design and simulation or willingness to acquire it, and experience setting up and improving optical experiments or willingness to learn. They should be able to analyze and interpret experimental data, document and communicate results clearly, collaborate interdisciplinarily with experts in materials science, optics, and quantum technologies, and demonstrate curiosity, initiative, and enthusiasm. Applications should include a cover letter, CV, degree certificates and transcripts, and, if available, contact details for two referees.

How to apply

State in the cover letter which of the four research topics you are applying for, with several topics allowed in order of preference. Submit a cover letter, CV, degree certificates and transcripts, and optionally two referees' contact details, preferably by email to [email protected] or by post to the Institute of Semiconductor Technology at Hans-Sommer-Str. 66, 38106 Braunschweig, Germany.
