Research Assistant - 0.75 working time - salary grade E13 TV-L Berliner Hochschulen

Research work in the DFG project ‘Ultrafast and non-Hermitian dynamics in spin-controlled anisotropic quantum dot micropillar lasers’ (SpinPillar). The aim of this project is to develop a novel class of ultrafast lasers by combining quantum dot microlasers with spin lasers in close cooperation with the partner group at the Ruhr University Bochum. The aim is to enable modulation speeds of up to 250 GHz and to investigate non-hermitic photonic properties. The project tasks at TU Berlin include the design, manufacture and detailed optical investigations of the quantum dot microlasers, using state-of-the-art nanostructuring technologies and spectroscopic methods.

• Successfully completed scientific university studies (diploma, master's degree or equivalent) in physics or related subjects with in-depth knowledge and experience in the fabrication and optical and quantum optical investigation of nanophotonic devices based on quantum dots and microresonators, preferably in the field of III/V semiconductor heterostructures and self-organised quantum dots
• Good knowledge of German and/or English required; willingness to acquire the respective missing language skills

Desirable:

• Knowledge and experience in the epitaxial growth of III/V semiconductor heterostructures
• Knowledge and experience in the nanofabrication of semiconductor devices in a clean room environment
• Knowledge and experience in the spectroscopic study of microlasers
• Strong interest in innovative approaches and research questions in the field of semiconductor spectroscopy and nanotechnology with a focus on low-dimensional semiconductor structures
• Communication and teamwork skills
• Experience in interdisciplinary collaboration in research projects
