Berlin, Berlin, Deutschland Paul Drude Institut Berlin Vollzeit

About the Position


We are seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher to join our team at Paul Drude Institut Berlin and contribute to the design and growth of novel nitride heterostructures for electronic devices.


The successful candidate will work on the molecular beam epitaxy of polar group III-nitride heterostructures, exploiting polarization engineering to create innovative building blocks for photonic and electronic devices.


Particularly interesting in this context are N-polar GaN/AlN high-electron-mobility transistors on Si, which offer significant advantages over their conventional Ga-polar counterparts for high-power and high-frequency applications.


Your Responsibilities



  • Growth of nitride heterostructures by molecular beam epitaxy
  • Sample characterization by x-ray diffractometry, atomic force microscopy, and Hall-effect and C-V measurements
  • Band diagram simulation using 1D Poisson-Schrödinger solver
  • Data analysis and planning of experiments
  • Presentation of results at conferences and in publications

Your Profile



  • PhD in physics, electrical engineering, materials science, or a related field
  • Preferentially background in device physics or nanotechnology
  • Experience with device fabrication is advantageous
  • Hands-on experience with nitride-MBE is advantageous

What We Offer



  • Modern laboratories with a wide range of experimental techniques
  • Supportive environment with experts for various scientific sub-fields and a low number of students per advisor
  • International and culturally diverse community
  • Location in the heart of Berlin with excellent public transport connections
  • A subsidized travel ticket
  • Possibility to participate in professional development and/or student exchange programs

About PDI


The Paul-Drude-Institute is part of the Forschungsverbund Berlin e.V. and a member of the Leibniz Association. The institute carries out basic and applied research at the nexus of materials science, condensed matter physics, and device engineering.


In the Epitaxy department at PDI, a dedicated team of scientists, technicians, postdocs, and students operates 13 MBE systems for the synthesis of a wide range of material systems, including arsenides, nitrides, oxides, and 2D materials.


How to Apply


Please submit your application, including a dedicated cover letter, CV, diploma(s) and transcript(s), publication list (if present), and contact information of two references.


We look forward to receiving your application.
