Positions in DFG-Funded Projects
TU Ilmenau offers three PhD positions within the DFG Priority Program SPP 2477 “Nitrides4Future – Novel Materials and Device Concepts” starting on 01.01.2026. The research topics focus on experimentally gaining comprehensive knowledge of optical properties, properties of the electronic structure, and electro-optical properties of the innovative novel d-electron element containing group-three nitride compounds, e.g. [(Sc,Y,La ),(Al,Ga,In)]N. Ferroelectric electro-optical switches shall be developed. The work will be in close collaboration with the PhD student working on fundamental solid-state theory of the same materials.

The Cluster of Excellence ‘Cross-Cultural Philology(externer Link) at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München (LMU) is offering a position as Diversity Manager (TV-L E13, 50%) for a fixed term until May 31, 2029.
The Cluster uses a cross-cultural approach to examine philological practices and cultural dynamics over a period of five millennia. It will bring to light the richness of philological traditions in their mutual interaction in the Near and Middle East, in East Asia, on the Indian subcontinent, in North, East and West Africa, and in Europe. This comparison will reveal specific similarities and differences, and continuities and discontinuities, yielding insights far beyond the current state of the art.
