Within the BMBF funded project QR.X, we fabricate and investigate novel, deterministic quantum light sources and spin-photon interfaces based on III-V quantum dots. These devices will be used for the demonstration of quantum repeater functionalities. Successful candidates will join our multidisciplinary team of researchers and be working on: * Molecular beam epitaxial growth and III-V quantum dot based single photon sources and spin-photon interfaces on GaAs substrate. * Nanophotonic and electronic bandgap engineering of III-V quantum dot devices in the 900 nm spectral range. * MBE growth process development and optoelectronic material characterization. * Contribute to project meetings, and conferences. Publication in peer-reviewed scientific journals.
* PhD in physics or related. * Work experience in a semiconductor cleanroom environment. * Experience in molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) semiconductor growth (MBE growth of III-V semiconductor quantum dots is preferred). * Experience with nanostructure characterization of semiconductors. * Originality and productivity in research, proven by the scientific track record. * Excellent written and spoken English language skills (working language is English).
* A full-time position for a duration of up to three years, part-time is possible if full-time coverage is facilitated by job sharing. * Payment based on the German TV-L scale. * A unique opportunity to join a strong interdisciplinary multi-national team of researchers with a shared interest in quantum physics and semiconductors. * Working with a state-of-the-art technological infrastructure. * Opportunity to grow your scientific track record.
