About this position

PhD Opening at Politecnico di Milano:
?????????????????????? ???? ???????????????? ?????????? ?????????????????????? ???????????????????? ?????????????? ??????????????????.

The PhD student is expected to begin on November 1st, 2025 and last three years, after which candidates are expected to defend their PhD thesis.

The position is funded by the Tech Europe Foundation and offers an enhanced funding of €1800/month net, with the usual 50% increase during research stays abroad. This position may be awarded to a candidate with outstanding qualifications, such as a strong academic record and demonstrated interest or experience (e.g., acquired during the master's thesis) in spintronics , nanoelectronics , or related research .

This project addresses transistors - the fundamental building blocks of all electronic devices – and aims to increase their energy efficiency ?? and speed enormously, looking ahead to advanced applications such as neuromorphic and memory-in-logic devices. Current transistors consume substantial power, a growing challenge given the increasing number of electronic devices worldwide. This research focuses on exploring several ferroic materials that possess non-volatile electrically writable memory and operate at lower voltages than traditional ones. By tailoring chemical composition, structure, and doping, the team aims to design transistors that are:
? Faster
?? More energy-efficient
?? Ready for neuromorphic and in-memory computing

You will explore novel material alloys, test their properties, and help pave the way for next-generation devices in ???? ????????????????, ?????????? ??????????????????????, ?????? ????????????.

We are looking for ???????????? ?????????????????? ???????????????????? with a Master’s degree (or equivalent) in physics , electronics , materialsscience , or related disciplines. The ability to collaborate in an interdisciplinary and international environment is essential, as are strong communication skills in English. A background in semiconductor device physics, electronics, or nanofabrication is welcome but not required.
If you are eager to tackle global challenges in energy consumption while working at the cutting edge of materials and device physics, this PhD project offers the perfect opportunity.

?? Apply now and be part of shaping the future of computing!
