Job description:

TU/e is joining force with 20+ Europe wide industrial and academic partners on this topic, under the framework of an EU Key Digital Technologies Joint Undertaking (KDT JU) program Move2THz.

Within this program, TU/e is responsible of developing epitaxial growth of InP photonics structures directly onto templated Si substrates, as well as demonstration of high-speed photonic transceivers on this novel platform.

Research Position

This PhD position is opened particularly targeting the technology development of the growth of InP multi-quantum well (MQW) photonics layer stack on Si, in close collaboration with the epitaxy experts within the group.

The position will also design and fabricate high speed lasers and modulators based on the InP-on-Si platform.

The work will be done primarily on 4-inch wafers to take advantage of the 4-inch InP process line in the TU/e nanolab cleanroom.

But the technology developed will be scalable to much larger wafer sizes.

On this topic, the PhD will have the opportunity to work with the industrial partners within the consortium (including leading tool vendors and foundries).

The new position will involve hands-on process development using recently installed, state of the art 4" (100 mm) indium phosphide manufacturing line, including high reproducibility epitaxy, deep ultra-violet scanner lithography and industry-grade etch and deposition equipment.

These facilities and the associated expertise are considered to be unique in an academic research environment. The project is supported with the infrastructure at the TU/e nanolab.

Environment

The Eindhoven Brainport region, where we are located, is recognized as one of the most important regions in Europe for high-tech developments by the EU.

Regional focus on specific technologies creates specific ecosystems to cooperate and commercialize technologies such as integrated photonics, high-tech systems and quantum technology.

We believe that professional development comes hand-in-hand with personal development.

Therefore, you will also have access to high-quality training programs on general skills and topics related to research and valorization.

Job requirements:

A master's degree (or an equivalent university degree) in electrical engineering, or (applied) physics, with a genuine interest in pursuing a PhD
A team player able to work in a dynamic, interdisciplinary environment.
Fluent in spoken and written English (C1 level). There is no Dutch language requirement.

Conditions of employment:

A meaningful job in a dynamic and ambitious university, in an interdisciplinary setting and within an international network. You will work on a beautiful, green campus within walking distance of the central train station.

In addition, we offer you:

Fulltime employment for four years, with an intermediate evaluation (go/nogo) after nine months. You will spend 10% of your employment on teaching tasks.
Salary and benefits (such as a pension scheme, paid pregnancy and maternity leave, partially paid parental leave) in accordance with the _Collective Labour Agreement_ for Dutch Universities, scale P (min. €2,770 max. €3,539).
A yearend bonus of 8.3% and annual vacation pay of 8%.
Highquality training programs and other support to grow into a selfaware, autonomous scientific researcher. At TU/e we challenge you to take charge of your own learning process.
An excellent technical infrastructure, oncampus children's day care and sports facilities.
An allowance for commuting, working from home and internet costs.
