The Semiconductor Quantum Nanomaterials (SQNM) Group at the Walter Schottky Institute (WSI) at Technical University of Munich (TUM) offers 5 PhD Student positions. Founded more than 30 years ago, the Walter Schottky Institute has grown to an internationally recognized landmark for research in advanced semiconductor-based nanostructures and quantum systems, interfacing disciplines of physics, materials science and electrical engineering. Nowadays, a wide range of research themes in nanoscale materials science, optics, quantum technologies and energy sciences are pursued at WSI in conjuction with the Center for Nanotechnology and Nanomaterials, offering extensive cutting-edge facilities in the development and exploration of innovative nano- and quantum-scale systems and devices for next-generation technologies.
For the upcoming year 2022, the SQNM group at WSI is recruiting up to 5 highly talented PhD student candidates on projects supported by third-party funds and as outlined below. Specifically, the SQNM (Koblmüller) Group which offers the new positions currently pursues important themes in the areas of integrated nanoscale coherent light sources, advanced-concept solar cells, new and improved nano-thermoelectric systems, and the development of novel in-situ growth of advanced III-V nanostructured and 2D-layered materials with atomic precision. Hereby, the group with its new prospective PhD students enjoys strong links to several Clusters of Excellence, the Munich Center for Quantum Science and Technology (MCQST) and e-conversion , as well as Integrative Research Centers and Schools, e.g., the Institute for Advanced Study (IAS), the International Graduate School for Science and Engineering (IGSSE) , and the Munich School of Engineering (MSE).
Our new incoming PhD students can expect a diversity-conscious, internationally-minded program in a research and educational environment of highest international standards. We therefore encourage candidates to apply with appropriate scientific background, holding ideally a M.Sc. degree in physics, electrical engineering, materials science or similar with outstanding academic track record. Candidates should also possess exceptional motivation and creativity, combined with very good communications skils and proficiency in English (oral and written).
You have now the opportunity to apply to one of the following PhD thesis projects, described in more detail:
