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.

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 announced position is within the joint sub-project “Exploring the upper limits of piezoelectric polarization in ternary metal nitrides” with Albert-Ludwigs-University Freiburg. The research topics focus on the MBE growth of [(Sc,Y,La),(Al,Ga,In)]N and experimental investigation with respect to structural, elastic, and electronic properties as well as their long-term stability.
