We are a university with a focus on engineering and natural sciences as well as economics, human sciences and medicine. We offer excellent study and working conditions to 13,000 students from Germany and abroad as well as approx. 3,000 employees.

The PhD programme "Micro-/Nano-Technology for Future" focuses on interdisciplinary collaboration between physics, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, materials science and process engineering. The graduate school focusses on research issues in microtechnology as well as related application areas and supplier industries. The interdisciplinarity between the faculties and the universities in the state promotes creativity and enables doctoral students to advance their research topics in an innovative environment.

The research project "Flexible, memristive electronics" assigned to this initiative deals with the development of flexible memristors with interface resistor circuits for binary memory applications or flexible artificial synapses for neuromorphic electronics and computer applications with multiple states. The aim is to exploit innovative synergies between memristors and flexible polymer substrates to create new opportunities for flexible, energy-efficient and miniaturised electronic systems.

Your involvement in this research project will open up a wide range of career opportunities while building valuable technical and project management skills and expanding your personal network.

Job description:

• Research and development of flexible memristors based on crystalline and polycrystalline materials
• Integration and optimisation of memristors on flexible polymer substrates to improve mechanical flexibility and performance
• Investigation of long-term stability and reproducibility of switching behaviour under mechanical stress
• Development of new strategies to improve CMOS compatibility
• Characterisation of material properties and their influence on mechanical and electrical performance
• Publication of research results and active participation in the acquisition of further research projects

Requirements profile:

• Completed studies (M.Sc.) in physics, materials science, electrical engineering or a related field
• Experience in micro/nanostructuring and physical understanding of memristive devices
• Knowledge of materials science, semiconductor physics and concepts of flexible electronics
• Experience in mathematical modelling and simulation of electrical components 
• Very good English language skills  
• Independent, creative and solution-orientated way of working and strong ability to work in a team
  

Your benefits:

• You have the opportunity to do a doctorate and are supported and encouraged in the process. 
• Our research funding and the Graduate Academy support your personal development. 
• You can expect a thorough induction programme and integration into a well-structured team.
  

For further information about the position, please contact Prof Ulrike Steinmann on 0391/67-58309 or by e-mail: ulrike.steinmann@ovgu.de.

You will benefit from our structures and offerings in the fields of sustainability, diversity, family support and staff development. Our location in the center of a thriving, lively and family-friendly state capital guarantees a high quality of life and a wide range of leisure activities.
