Doctoral Research Associate (Wissenschaftliche*r Mitarbeiter*in , salary level E 13 TV-L, 65%)

The scope of duties includes experimental and accompanying theoretical/numerical research on the chip integration of passive and laser-active waveguides for ultrafast pulse generation and frequency conversion with, for example, applications ranging from nonlinear microscopy and over precision metrology to quantum communication. The required patterning work is to be achieved by means of additive or modifying femtosecond material processing in addition to lithographic processes in collaboration with the Nanofabrication Centre at the University of Münster. The position is tied to working towards a doctorate.

• A master's degree from a university or applied university in physics, photonic engineering, electrical engineering or a comparable degree program is required.
• The ability to independently carry out scientific work, solve problems and present results is required.
• A demonstrated understanding of at least one of the following topics is required: set-up and characterisation of lasers and/or nonlinear waveguide systems, fundamentals and/or applications of photonic integrated circuits, or numerical modelling of light propagation in waveguides and/or fibres.
• Furthermore, a good knowledge of written and spoken English is required. Knowledge of the German language would be an advantage.

• You can take the opportunity to be integrated into a supportive team while working on a current, interdisciplinary research topic in modern laser physics.
• Appreciation, commitment, openness and respect – these values are important to us.
• Our broad range of diverse work-time models offers great flexibility – also when working from home.
• If you have family members or young children in your care, our Family Service Office offers concrete support to help you balance your private and professional responsibilities.
