Research assistants / PostDoc in Quantum Technology at the Institute of Nanostructure Technologies and Analytics, University of Kassel, Germany

Logo
The Institute of Nanostructure Technologies and Analytics (INA) is inviting strongly motivated people to apply for research assistant positions to join their Nano Optics Group led by Priv.-Doz. Dr. M. Benyoucef as part of a new interdisciplinary project on Scalable Molecular Quantum Bits (SMolBits). The project's focus is on understanding quantum effects in molecular systems integrated on solid state platform and for the development of a new concept for quantum computers and/or quantum processors. The project features the participation of interdisciplinary teams (Experimental and Theoretical Physics, Chemistry, and Electrical Engineering) and is coordinated by the Technological Physics. The State of Hesse is funding "SMolBits" with approx. 4.4 million euros over four years.
Research assistant / PostDoc (EG 14 TV-H), limited-term, full-time (currently 40 hours per week).
(Reference number: 32080)


This is a fixed term-position for 4 years (§ 14 Abs. 1 Satz 2 Nr. 1 TzBfG). Acquisition of habilitation is possible.

Tasks:
  • Working on the SMolBits project by developing integrated platforms for quantum computing and communication
  • Building the necessary quantum optics experimental setup to execute these projects
  • Self-contained research work that should support the SMolBits project
  • Present the results on scientific conferences and publish the work in peer-reviewed journals
  • You will be required to maintain extensive contact with a variety of people involved
  • Establish and monitor project schedule, organize project meetings and reporting
  • Provide support to the students and academics
  • Supporting the department in project applications and teaching
Requirements:
  • PhD in physics, nanosciences or equivalent studies with very good marks;
  • Strong background in quantum optics and hands-on experience in the following areas:
    • Optical characterization of nanostructures
    • Photon correlations measurements
    • Time-resolved techniques
  • You will be expected to undertake duties in an independent manner
  • Excellent communication skills and be able to interact professionally with staff and students
  • Ability to express both in German and in English in speaking and writing
  • Strong organizational skills
Of advantage will be:
  • Postdoctoral research experience on one of the above research topics
  • Relevant experience in the field of molecular quantum systems, Hong-Ou-Mandel measurements, nanafabrication
For further information please contact Priv.-Doz. Dr. Mohamed Benyoucef, Tel.: 0561-804-4553, Email: m.benyoucef@physik.uni-kassel.de or Prof. Dr. Johann Peter Reithmaier, Tel.: 0561-804-4430, Email: jpreith@ina.uni-kassel.de.

The Institute of Nanostructure Technologies and Analytics (INA) of the University of Kassel, Germany, is a joint lab between Electrical Engineering and Physics. The INA is operated mainly by two groups with currently about 80 people (including students) focusing on nanostructure technologies and their applications mainly in photonics, optics and optoelectronics. The resources at INA include 400 sqm clean room facilities with semiconductor processing technology for III-V materials and Si and about 400 sqm additional laboratory space. This includes state-of-the art epitaxial (MBE, CVD), lithography (photo, e-beam), dry-etching (RIE, ICP-RIE), deposition (evaporators, IBE, CVD), and analytical equipment (PL, XRD, AFM, FIB, laser measurement systems) allowing full process flows from epitaxial materials to mounted devices. The Technological Physics Department (http://tp.ina-kassel.de) operates a double chamber molecular beam epitaxy (Veeco Gen II Modula) for III-V materials based on GaAs and InP substrates. A new double chamber MBE system dedicated for III-V and Si/Ge epitaxy will be installed in 2018, which will allow the monolithic integration of III-V active materials on Si.
