Your responsibility

• Research within the ERC project ELEPHANT (https://cordis.europa.eu/project/id/948624) under the direction of the chair.
• Research in the field of integrated photonics and on-chip photonic circuits to realize the objectives of the project, which could include simulations, design, and laboratory setups and measurements.
• Collaborate within the chair’s group and contribute to IP and publications.

Your profile

• Successfully completed university degree (Master, Diplom or equivalent) and one that is completed no later than the date the contract is signed PhD in electrical engineering, op-tics/photonics, physics, or a closely related subject area
• Extensive experience in integrated photonic EM simulation (e.g., Ansys Lumerical, Ti-dy3D, CST Microwave Studio, COMSOL, HFSS, or similar, or numerical methods).
• Good knowledge of German and/or English required; willingness to acquire the respective missing language skills
• Ability to work in a team desirable
• Strong motivation and independence desirable
• Experience in one of the following areas (experience in more than one area is advanta-geous) and willingness to acquire the missing skills:

1. Expertise with numerical simulations (e.g. in Python, Octave, Matlab, or similar) with strong theoretical background.
2. Expertise with photonic integrated circuit design and layout. Experience with de-signing for photonic MPW runs (e.g. with imec, LIGENTEC, or similar) is advan-tageous.
3. Expertise with photonic integrated circuit system measurements, coupling with grating and edge couplers, waveguide measurements, circuit measurements etc.
