The Nanopatterning - Nanoanalysis - Photonic Materials group of the Physics

Department is offering a position at the next possible date for a

Research Assistant (Ph.D. student)

(Salary according to E 13 TV-L).
This position (75% of regular work time) is available within the framework of a DFG
(German Research Foundation) funded project on the Stability of misfit
dislocations in axial-heteroepitaxial nanopillar structures and is initially limited to 3
years with the possibility of an extension.
Your duties and responsibilities:
The successful candidate is expected to contribute substantially to the
experimental part of the above mentioned project. It is planned to fabricate
nanopillar-patterned semiconductor (GaAs) templates by applying self-assembly
methods such as nanosphere lithography combined with reactive ion etching. For
the heteroepitaxy we will use molecular beam epitaxy in collaboration with a
partner at the University of Paderborn. The morphological and structural
characterization will be based mainly on electron microscopy (SEM and
TEM/STEM), where state-of-the-art imaging as well as analytic TEM/STEM
techniques are deployed for the determination of defect configurations and real
structure of the heteroepitaxial nanopillars.
Your profile:
- Diploma/Master degree in physics or materials science
- Practical experience in at least two of the fields: nanopatterning, electron
microscopy, structural and morphological characterization of solids
- Independent scientific working
- Willingness to learn and to apply new methods
- Collaborative way of working
- Good English language skills
Applications from women are strongly encouraged and will be given preference
according to the North Rhine-Westphalian Equal Opportunities Act (LGG) in case
of equal qualifications, skills, and achievements in the field. Similarly, applications
from disabled persons are strongly encouraged. In accordance with the German
social law (SGB IX) disabled applicants and otherwise impaired applicants
considered as such having equal qualifications, skills, and achievements in the field
are given priority over applicants who are not legally entitled to preferential
consideration.

The deadline for submission of applications is September 30th 2015. Applications
should mention the reference number 2320 and include a letter of application, a
curriculum vitae, copies of relevant academic certificates and letters of
recommendation/ references. Applications are to be sent per email as a single PDF
file in German or English to Dr. Thomas Riedl.
