Scientist / Researcher – Nanoscale… at KSI für Mess-… · Dresden

Your mission

You will contribute to the development of next-generation nanoscale sensor systems, working across the entire technology chain – from device physics and noise characterization to electronics, system integration, signal processing, and data analysis.

You will investigate nanoscale devices, understand their physical limitations, develop appropriate electronics, and transform sensor signals into useful information through signal processing and data analysis.

Your Responsibilities

• Characterize electrical and noise properties of nanoscale sensors and beyond-CMOS devices
• Model their physical and electrical behavior using analytical and numerical approaches
• Validate models against experimental measurements and use them to identify relevant physical mechanisms
• Develop basic electronic circuits and interfaces for sensor readout
• Integrate sensors with electronics, data acquisition hardware, and experimental platforms
• Develop signal-processing methods for extracting relevant information from noisy sensor signals
• Collaborate closely with technicians and other scientists to connect device fabrication, electrical properties, and system-level performance
• Document results and contribute to scientific publications, conference presentations, and project reports

Your profile

• Master’s degree in electrical engineering, electronics, physics, nanotechnology, computer engineering, or a related field
• Strong interest in semiconductor devices, nanoscale sensors, and signal processing
• Experience with experimental work and data analysis
• Programming skills (e.g. Python, MATLAB, C/C++) are advantageous
• Experience in semiconductor device physics, modeling, AI, or machine learning is a plus
• Excellent English communication skills are required

The position is suitable for a PhD candidate or a Postdoctoral Researcher, depending on qualifications and experience. The PhD degree will be awarded by Technische Universität Dresden, one of Germany’s Universities of Excellence.

You are not expected to be an expert in all these areas. We value a strong foundation in one or more disciplines and the motivation to work across disciplinary boundaries.

Why us?

• Cutting-edge research in nanoscale sensors and device technologies
• Access to state-of-the-art nanofabrication, microscopy, and characterization equipment
• Opportunity to combine theory, modeling, electronics, and experimental work
• International and interdisciplinary research environment
• PhD degree awarded through TU Dresden, a German University of Excellence
• Salary according to TV-L (E13)
