Postdoc position (m/f/d)

The Paul-Drude-Institut (PDI) performs basic research as a lively symbiosis of materials science and solid state physics. Our activities aim at inspiring and demonstrating new functionalities for future information technologies. As a member of the Leibniz-Gemeinschaft and Forschungsverbund Berlin e. V., we are an independent research institute with about 100 employees and collaborate with all three universities in Berlin. We are located in the very heart of the city near the Gendarmenmarkt.

Postdoc position (m/f/d)

Structural and electronic properties of oxide alloys and heterostructures (P7)

PDI has excellent expertise and facilities for the growth and investigation of semiconductor-based materials and is leading the Berlin-based Leibniz ScienceCampus GraFOx (Growth and Fundamentals of Oxides for Electronic Applications, http://grafox.pdi-berlin.de/ ) – a network of three Leibniz Institutes, three Universities, one Institute of the Max Planck Society and the Helmholtz Center Berlin.

Within the framework of GraFOx, we are seeking you as a postdoctoral researcher for project P7. You will explore phenomena regarding the formation of oxide alloys as well as their fundamental physical properties, especially when included into oxide heterostructures. Your research focuses on optical spectroscopy, in particular Raman scattering, to study vibrational, electronic, and magnetic properties.

You should have a Ph. D. in experimental solid state physics or related fields and experience with optical spectroscopy. We are looking for a team player with a high level of communication skills and the assertiveness to work in a highly motivated team of researchers and technicians as well as to collaborate with Ph. D. students and project partners.

The position is available as of now, and its duration is presently limited to 2 years. Payment is according to TVöD (Treaty for German public service). PDI is an equal opportunity employer. Therefore, female candidates are encouraged to apply. Among equally qualified applicants, preference will be given to disabled candidates.

Please submit your application as PDF via email by November 15, 2021 to jobs(at)pdi-berlin.de with reference to project P7 in the subject line, including a dedicated cover letter, CV, publication list, reference for recommendation, degree(s), and transcript(s).

For questions related to the project, please contact Dr. Manfred Ramsteiner, ramsteiner(at)pdi-berlin.de .
